I don't think you'll find another in that condition.
Good time to buy on eBay, if you have the money at this time of year....which I don't.
My wife's just divorced me because I wouldn't open the car door for her!
To be fair I panicked and swam straight for the surface.

Good find!
Meanwhile I'm on my 3rd strap and looking for alternatives now.
I love my type 1 watch, even if many people find it's butt-ugly
Enjoy wearing it!

Hello
Sorry I did see your not taking any more orders this year. But I only just managed to acquire the watch today. I don’t need strap till new year.
I understand you did some of these straps before and I wonder if you still have the pattern to make a couple more.
Regards
Tony

My god, that's ugly (particularly the orange strap) but well done on your purchase Tony. Each to their own
PS I'm just glad the watch design team weren't involved with the M100 design process

The straps Tan not Orange, but I will be exchanging it for Black
The Brake Caliper part is Orange though.

Glad you said it. Worked on a contract with a young lad who had a rich Dad who gave him a £36K Philippe Patek Nautilus and lad was not impressed when I said I stopped wearing my Omega watch when my mobile phone kept better time and adjusted for BST/GMT without any involvement from me ! These days a non hi-tech wristwatch is just 'bling'.. so each to their own. Always nice to pick up a bargain though ..

" These days a non hi-tech wristwatch is just 'bling'.. " = True
I have Tag Carrera and its Automatic its hopeless at keeping time. PS But not as bad as the Wife!!
But I have a Longines Conquest VHP , Its supposed to be accurate to 10-20 seconds per year. ( VHP = Very High Precision)

I still like a nice analogue watch on my wrist and am going to purchase another nice "blingy" watch in the New Year. Possibly an Omega Seamaster

Mine was an Omega Chronostop designed for wearing on the inside of the wrist as 12 o'clock was where 3 usually is. Was 18th birthday present from M & D so about 30 years old and a bit scratched when I stopped wearing it. Don't know where it is so might even have thrown it out .... just found one on ebay
Omega-Chronostop

"Infused with Lotus core values"
I think they meant "confused with Lotus core values"
The original strap on the other hand is pure Lotus - quickly became brittle and broke, now completely unobtainable.
