New strap for the Spirit
I've decided to change the Spirit's original bracelet to a leather strap. To be honest, I liked the strap version more, but I wanted to have the original bracelet just in case.
Two weeks ago, I've ordered a strap from Remie (7T2 Straps), a Dutch custom strap maker, made to measure for the watch and my wrist.
Went for a colour similar to Longines's stock strap for the black dial version of the Spirit, but with a two-stitch structure and a single keeper.
Received it today...and it's absolutely fantastic. Thick, but can be easily bent into shape, and fits me like a glove with the Spirit. Not like 70 euro is little for a strap, but for a strap made to measure, it is more than fair.

I always hope for the best. Experience, unfortunately, has taught me to expect the worst.
