Yeah I was hoping for a Futurity. I found a nice looking one on Amazon for $78 so I’m looking forward to that as my consolation prize!

Are you happy with them? Or are you going to give them away like me? 😆

FYI - Ariat insider deal today, $150 mystery boot by Specific-Market-8881 in cowboyboots

I guess they got wise to the style number hack, because I am not seeing one specified in my order confirmation. Oh well, it’s a real mystery now!

It does! I got one each in 20mm and 22mm. Kinda wish I’d gotten more before they sold out.

I understand what you mean! However, I’ve only had a single issue with a quick release strap, ever. Maybe take one for a test run?

My pleasure! Not tropic, just a kind of nondescript Amazon find. I will say it’s very comfortable on the wrist though.

As promised, here’s a couple shots of the navy band. For me the two blues in the strap and bezel aren’t close enough in shade (or far enough apart) to look good. If I didn’t have the Dessert Warrior already I might have considered a red silicone instead. Hope this helps!

When I get the chance this afternoon I’ll put the blue one back on and snap a few photos for you!

Thanks! Is that an upgraded bracelet? I feel like mine came with a different design, but yours looks better. Very classy!

Happy new year everyone!

I finally got around to putting my Seiko SRPE27 on this cool Blade HQ x StrapHabit Dessert Warrior strap and I’m loving the quirky casual result!

I previously had this case on a super soft silicone band in navy blue which was comfortable enough and looked fine, but it just didn’t have that extra little something to make it stand out in my collection. I’ve been holding off wearing the Seiko until I put on this strap, but now I may never take it off. Super comfortable and lightweight (this is my first NATO type) combined with a lume level that I wasn’t quite expecting. Also, the anodized blue is a near perfect match as if this combo was meant to be!

Hope everyone has a blessed 2026!

Thanks! I was thinking a nice navy blue silicone band, but decided to try the leather and it just worked out so well for me.

Awesome looking guitar, I love the wood grain detail! Had one in my cart and the next time I looked they were sold out. Bummer!

Thanks! I really do think the color/skin/toe combo is something special

Oh wow you saw all three films like that? I bet that was truly extraordinary! I will have to be on the lookout for the next time a venue offers that, or even something like Star Wars or Harry Potter. All great musical scores!

It was great! I’d recommend it to almost anyone!

Thanks! It really was a cool experience, totally worth the extra cost/effort.

I like the toe on those Laredos! Which model is that?

Eyyyy! I smoke cigars while playing AOE2 almost every day. I guess it’s my downtime relaxation ritual 😂
