Different Kind of Beautiful
You can only leave it to Kyle, founder of Straton Watch Co., to come up with this 1972 Desotos inspired Straton Sprint (or Cuffbuster). Staying true to his design mojo of creating watches he likes and passion for Alfa Romeo (me too), this is one watch that is right up my watch alley. Yes it’s unique yet fun, impractical yet functional and ugly yet so beautiful. Really it’s just a Different Kind of Beautiful https://open.spotify.com/track/6mxsd0LQt2qk2rpLEqlCJw?si=FQoFQKMKTzi7MhljMeAFWg
Without a doubt, the Sprint is absolutely polarizing. Feast your eyes on the pics here (and wrist shot in #wruw) and then let me know in the comments, which end of the meter are you at please. Cheers
I’m a watch-holic, a watch-addict and recently a watch-cruncher. I'm drawn to watches that have interesting back stories, unique or unusual design language and limited in numbers.
It reminds me of a gamblers hidden card device
Wow! thats super interesting 🤔
Daa-aang... Imagine if that watch can be slotted into that side-case... Mannn... 😁

Is that what hidden card devices look like. Never knew. Maybe I can turn it under my wrist and try using it in the next poker session.

Emm, not getting what you mean.
Love the look of these Cuffbuster watches from Straton but can't help but think they feel a little awkward to wear. Has anyone worn one regularly to get a good feel for them?

I’ve been wearing it for a day. No awkwardness or discomfort. Just got them a little wet when washing hands.but no worries with the 100m WR.

Beware a man with slick backed hair, wearing a jade pinkie ring and a love for Feodora chocolate if you decide to play poker, my friend.

Loved your showdown with that crook, Chan Kam-Sing, sir. ✌️
I also had a post about this Design in the past and a lot of people had good points about the look and design. Unless your a long sleeve kinda of person it’s ok.
Very unusual, I'd wear it! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Jody of Just One More Watch did a review of this on his YouTube channel a few months ago. It is an interesting watch for sure!

Kinda like the way the JLC Reverso in action? Imagine the metal section on the left side (pic below, outlined in orange) is a case that can accommodate the square dial on the right...
So, the square dial can be slided into the left metal section, either acting as a complete protective 'case' (ala JLC Reverso) or...
... the 'casing' can be designed as a holding space witha separate frame design that changes the look of the dial.
One watch, two styles. 😁
The John Merrick of watches.
Haha good one. The Elephant Watch?
This really is something else! And I love it 👌🏼
Cheers
Very cool and beautiful Ed!
Cheers. more like a different kind of beautiful I think.
I like weird things, so I like this. But I'm deliberately being more selective with my purchases. I totally would've bought one a year ago.
Cheers🍻
Gimmicky now, gimmicky then.
Never mind.
Okay.
It would be cool to engrave the bare steel part of the watch
I'd love to be hands on with this before making a decision
Sure thing
It would be cool to engrave the bare steel part of the watch
You are right. I think that would be quite cool. You should let Kyle hear this. Perhaps he might consider it for V2.
Love this
I love it, I just wish I had that kind of money.
