·Which one is the favourite? I personally like the blue and the orange best. For 340 quid up to the buyer if they want to pay that for a disposable watch at the end of the day, but I think they look alright.

I got the blue yesterday (probably my favorite) and the white arrived today. Orange (2nd best) and Yellow should arrive later this week.
I take it you're not ordering these directly from Swatch, are you?
I thought the Fifty Fathoms, like the moonSwatch, was only available by purchasing in person at a Swatch Boutique.
Probably of no interested, but local Jewellers to me - Toulsons - Tunbridge Wells - Kent had 50% Maurice Lacroix going to be very niche I know.

Love the strap that came with my Pelagos FXD Red Bull. It’s a Velcro strap, so I time will be limited before the loops are no longer reliable. Whilst I am, hopefully, a long way off that I am fancying some other straps to switch things up.
Has anyone used Erika’s Originals parachute type straps? They look really nice and appear to be great quality. They do an option for the FXD and also do the gongs like DLC clasps and engraving etc.
I am just wondering whether €100 plus postage is overkill when there are similar ones on Amazon for £10-£20. I am no skinflint, so would spend that but also don’t want to waste money if there is very little difference.
Anyone used them or similar straps from elsewhere? Anyone with an FXD got any suggestions.
I generally more inclined to spend more on quality, but just wanted to be sure on this one. Really appreciate you confirming from experience as these do look like amazing quality!
Just need to narrow it down to maybe 2 straps when ordering. I have some ideas but interested in what you think might suit my Red Bull version…
Hi,
Just ordered this one with Monnin case :

100% worthwhile mate - I am going be be buying another one. I haven’t used the original since it came. One word of note is that they are a bit of a pig to get on, but once done wear terrific.
I think the swick or the black ops would look pretty good on yours - but that’s just me. I’m going for the original green next I think to get out of the all blue look.
Looks cool in fairness but that foldover and double pass is not for me.
Both of those look excellent @Mspeedster fair play.
