vlydog Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I haven't bought a new strap for my DLC'd zero in quite some time. I have always thought that something in olive green would be nice. Pete has given my some suggestions before but nothing has really grabbed me. Recently I thought to revisit Ted Su's website and I found some interesting Japanese Shell Cordovan. What does everyone think of this strap next to a DLC'd case? Thank you.
PeteM Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I think its nice but I am not sure if I would like it so shiny against the dullness of the DLC.... unless its just the lighting... but if not then I would prefer a semimatt version against the 005.. But definitely different mate....
Watchmeister Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Honestly not a big fan. Agree with the too shiny and also not the different color keepers. If you want olive I would vote for olive shark because it mixes green and grey/black flecks in the skin which should meld nicely with the DLC. But that is my 2 cents.
vlydog Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Posted December 10, 2011 @ P Yes the shininess is something that I have tought about and is definetly holding me back. I wonder if Ted Su could bring it down? @ W I guess this would be a strap obtainable from Dirk?
mikellem Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 V, Great advise from from both gents above. I don't think you have found the right strap yet! I do like Watchmeister's idea.... I think it would look good, Olive Sharkskin....Nice contrast with the DLC.... Good Luck, MM

Dirk is one but I would bet some of the lesser expensive guys - Bon, Panatime, etc. would have them as well.
PeteM Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 The Olive Green Vero Squalo is something Dirks sell for about 200 Euros mate.... but there are other makers who do the same sort of thing for less but IMHO Dirks is the better... then MP but these are also pricey.. but I think we did discuss these before.. Or you can pick up used on Risti but you still pay a bit for them... I think it was Gainton that posted some pics of his on a PVD PAM (PreV) could be wrong but it has definitely been posted here recently
PeteM Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 No you are just showing off !! Thats a lovely pic mate
OceanView Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 What about something with a carbon fiber design in black? That's what I am gonna do when I get a black 005 made for me.
StormTooper4 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Posted December 12, 2011 Something like this perhaps or a little brighter
ubiquitous Posted December 12, 2011 Report Posted December 12, 2011 I've always like a nice, simple tan in contrast to PVD or DLC:
gianton Posted December 12, 2011 Report Posted December 12, 2011 My favorite ones on PVD: Spiderman Distressed Vintage Tan Dirk Light Brown Kostas K99
