That vintage leather strap looks great! I personally like it much better than the fabric inlay in the original pics. Nice job!

Totally understand your leather strap decision, and appreciate your concern for lasting quality.
Thank you for your quick response, as always.
(May I suggest that this vintage strap, at a 24mm width, would also look great on the Scorpionfish, maybe you could offer it as a great add-on deal, pre-order incentive).

The Scorpionfish is being offered at a very small margin. You don't see any other company selling a watch like that for $299.00 USD (with the coupon) let it alone $600.00 USD so you can see how slim our margins are.
Margins on the Scorpionfish are margins used in electronics companies that are less of 15% compared to markups used in luxury goods that go from 100-1000% so you can see we really have no space to offer goodies on that one.
If members request we can then work on a 24mm strap for it but only after project is finalized.

Sorry for not communicating more clearly.
What I was trying to suggest is that a 24mm vintage leather strap, or maybe a Bonetto #322 rubber strap be offered at a desireable discount, only available during pre-order, as an incentive.
H2O/helberg Watch recently did this marketing with their CH6 model pre-order, allowing buyers to add-on an Isoframe or Mesh bracelet at 50% off the market cost.
Just a thought, appreciate your consideration, and thank you.

Well Helson sells or used to sell over 4000 watches a year, Helberg/H2O over 3000 watches a year. We sell like 15% of that so you can see we do not have margins for that.
If we were to buy a Bonetto (which we can) MOQ are of 300 straps as an example. Isofrane I do not want to buy from as we develop our own straps.

Thanks! This strap costs more than the previous but we believe it will be more comfortable, lasts longer and has a special look due to the vintage leather used.
Sealing it is a mater of personal taste in the end and this one needs to look and feel vintage as the leather used. This way gets even more comfortable but as I mention it is a mater of personal taste.

Maybe we can work on that after project is delivered. Not before as no margins. You can't really find a watch with this specs at this price from anyone else.
Should be mid July according to factory.
I have received prototypes today but haven't had yet time to arrange photos. Will try to post them during weekend.

Can't wait for July to arrive, so anxious to receive my Grey, and White dial ordered versions.
Thanks Maria for creating such a super deal on a quality, unique, boutique diver.
