The straps referred to earlier in the thread for that watch were well under 100. Here's the link to the site:

I think you can also find these cheaper in local retailers and on ebay. 

Thanks!

Is having the Bambino II with white dial (blue hands version) and the Tissot Visodate with white dial (both with brown leather bands) in the same collection duplicitous?

Only if you don't tell them about each other.

Lol!!

Nice! Is that new or vintage?

My wrist measure 6.5 inches (yes, narrow, I know). What is considered the largest size dial I can pull off?

Hi, mosy. I've tiny wrists as well (just under 6.5"). I wouldn't go for anything larger than 38mm, or 40mm with small lugs.

Did anyone order watches from the Filippo Loreti kickstarter?

Sorry, didn't mean to quote.

Ok let's say I have up to $2,000 to spend. And let's assume I don't want to be busy buying watches again for a while, perhaps forever. Would you guys prefer one super-versatile watch in the 1500-2000 range (say a brand like Tag or similar), or would you prefer five or six different watches, each in the 150-650 range (say brands like Orient, Seiko, Hamilton, Tissot, etc) with designs that cover the spectrum?
