Watch Experts Network: ‘Strap maker workshop by DStrap’
With our recurring reviews on watch straps it was great to see local Dutch watch strap maker Olaf Lugten from Dstrap, announce the worlds first ¡®strap maker workshop¡¯. After getting in touch we were one of the lucky few to join Olaf for this master class (as we like to call it) that took takes place in his workshop in Alkmaar.After being welcomed we all did a quick introduction about ourselves, followed by Olaf kicking off his master class, doing so by explaining why he started making his own straps and what motivates him to do it the way he does. In short it was the lack of quality that he was expecting and the missing buyer experience when buying after market watch straps in general. And at some point he started working on his own, all hand made straps and several years later his company DStrap was a fact. While showing some of his straps he points out some easy to recognise and typical DStrap traits are incorporated into his straps thus leaving his signature on each and every one.Ol

Pebble Time Round Watch
When it comes to the smart watch segment, you have a multitude of options these days. One of the earlier brands to hit the scene was Pebble, with their selling point being the e-ink screen that was, for one, always on and, second, made for some long battery life. All of their previous offerings have been more of a square or rectangle, which sort of conforms to the rectangular slab aesthetic we have come to expect from the phone manufacturers. When it comes to watches, there is something that just feels "more right" when it is a round case ¨C and the folks at Pebble must agree, as they have just announced the Pebble Time Round.Round is obviously the story here - the Pebble Time Round looks more like a traditional watch. You can, of course, make it look as traditional as you would like via watch faces in their store. Of note is the e-ink screen which is in color now, rather than monochrome. Do not expect to see quite the colors an LCD would give you; instead, think of it as a way to accen

Oris Artelier Chronograph vs. Oris Artelier Complication
Hi guys,I need everyone's opinion.As you can see, I am a Rolex lover/collector. However, I am about to purchase my first every Oris watch (I've been wanting one since last year).Right now, its a toss between two (2) models, the Oris Artelier Chronograph and the Oris Artelier Complication. In either case, I am thinking of getting the one with a white dial so I can easily use black or brown leather deployant strap/clasp.Now, since it will be my first Oris purchase, I dunno which to get between the two (2)? I like the size of the chronograph and the presence of the three (3) pushers but I also like the moon complication with the other one but its only 40.5mm and no three (3) pushers.What do you think?oris.ch/collections/colle...en&modelid=165oris.ch/collections/colle...en&modelid=236Thanks in advance.
