Looks great mate

Strap and the watch look great. The only question I have is whether you want to brush the buckle. I have owned Pre-V straps over the years(down to one now though given the prices people pay) and the ones I have seen were always brushed. But someone else who knows better can chime in.

I am in search for Pre-V buckle too and all I can say, that gen Pre-V buckles are/were always brushed not polished. Look at this pic which was taken from watches 24/7:

But still this one over looks great too

It's actually not brushed... Dirk uses the term on his buckle... "coinage" same finishing technique for creating coins. If I'm not mistaken it's micro-bead blasted to achieve the finish.

That is a good point. I just know that all the ones I have ever seen are "matte". The strap still looks great on that watch. And the funny thing is you know this strap is much better made. I never had the nerve to actually wear a Pre-V strap because they feel so flimsy. Fast forward a couple of years and you come into the Hirsch era and for my money they are the best PAM straps that were ever made.
