White. You'll be able to use it on more watches (after you flip the U2 because it's running slow).

I know you and your OCD... :naughty:

Right now it's in the prototype stage. Maybe some digital renderings will come soon. Could be a few months before the real thing is released. :shrug:

I promise no delays though. I speak daily with the supplier, and they (she) are as anxious to release as I am. I'm taking pre-orders starting Friday.

The material arrived today and I'm in the middle of the first prototype.

The Alcantara is nice....really, really nice. This strap is going to be the shit.

I expect to have pics for you guys some time tomorrow.
