I recently visited the shop and I was surprised on how small the space was. Your team did some great camera work as the filming makes that shop look so much larger than it is. Jean Rousseau have some amazing straps and am looking forward to getting some for my set of watches soon.

Custom straps are great. I have watches that I hadn’t worn much until new life was given by the addition of a custom strap! ( and quick release pins take the stress out of changing straps)

Really amazing at exchanging thoughts. I have a Charlie watch and I decided to change the watch strap from brown to dark green, and all of this happened before I saw the video. How wonderful, even the choice of color was exactly the same. Thank you, Kirby.

@stoic9009 ай бұрын
Kirby a little tip. You can also consider having straps made with deployant clasps instead of tang buckles. Deployants preserve the strap for longer and you don't get those nasty creases on the hole you use
@watchhunter9 ай бұрын
And you also get the benefit of it being less comfortable.

Oh Kirby, next time you're in Piccadilly Arcade, please drop by the Jeffery West shoe store and showcase some of the wildly 'Alternative' styles there. Hopefully Marc Jeffery or Guy West might be there. You'll personally be entertained, and so with your loyal State-side viewers. PS: I have over 8 pairs of shoes from this brand in the UK.

My very first "nice" watch I ever purchased I bought some quick release straps for. I was riding my motorcycle on the highway a couple weeks later and and went to look at my watch to find out that the quick release had in fact released while I was riding and my watch was somewhere on the highway. Didn't feel it fall of my wrist because of the vibrations of the motorcycle I guess. That's one reason why someone wouldn't wear a quick release strap. I only ride with nato straps now.

You should visit Oxford, Kirby. Lots of additional layers of heritage for you to sample.
@russ99219 ай бұрын
Sadly, Oxford has lost many of its traditional shops, except for a few that remain in the area immediately round the covered market. Like so many historic British cities, it has too many cheap looking Harry Potter-esq souvenir shops full of cheap tat. The colleges remain as beautiful as ever.
@Surreptitious_19 ай бұрын
@russ9921 I dare say you're right, my friend. It's certainly not what it was, although as you say, sone shops do remain and there is some heritage left that hasnt been destroyed by marxism. Just start on the High Street and Broad Street and the interconnecting avenues.
