    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.

    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

    • @watchhunter

    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.

    • @russ9921
      @russ9921 8 місяців тому

      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_1
      @Surreptitious_1 7 місяців тому +1

      @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.
