H2O KALMAR - the picture thread

[pechelman]

maybe i can get an answer now that there are more folks with watches

for those who ordered rubber strap #2, since they had an issue with them fitting the lug bars, which strap did you receive?
were you asked which strap #1 or #3 you wanted before they shipped or was this unilaterally decided for you?

Ive asked a couple of times here already, asked clemens via email, and again now. (no answer as of yet from anyone unless I missed it)
I just got my tracking number so I'm worried that my decision was made unilaterally for me even despite me requesting a specific strap to replace the one I ordered which was not available.

I know, I know.
SUPER nit picky.
But i already have 3 or 4 of a black rubber strap similar to, if not identical to, strap #1, so I was hoping to get #3.

oh well, guess ill see what i get now

I ordered a number two and got a number 1 but tit did not really matter to me which one..if I decide to use a rubber strap it will be an Isofrane and but i will say this their quality is top notch and they smell just like all my isofranes

Pretty sure I remember Clemens posting in the other thread that his straps came from the same manufacturer Isofrane uses.


Edit: I asked Clemens if he could post a pic of one of the prototypes on an Isofrane and here was his response....


"@cochese2323: Sorry, but I don´t have an Isofrane. Our own rubber straps are made by the same company who also makes the Isofrane straps, but the design is different. "

Of course, you´re packed and shipped with the strap #3. And maybe more important: the titanium damascus tongue!

The same smell is not suprise: The Isofrane and H2O rubber strap are made by the SAME manufacturer. They are same in material, quality and smell.

And they it easy to tell....everything about the Kalmar is first class...the leather straps and remarkable also

Here it is on a Steinhart rubber strap. Luckily I have 3 of them so I can make it generic for the H2O. It too has that vanilla smell.....

Pictures of that beautiful blue dial will be posted here later today. I spent at least an hour last night playing around with different combinations of parts to see what I like best. This is going to be a fun watch considering all of the different possible looks. Job well done, Clemens!

And now for a picture. It's a dark and dreary day, so this is the only salvageable photo I could come up with for now.
