Chuck P Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 This seems completely crazy, but I love this combo for some reason. Literally a $5 strap on a $$ watch. Would anyone else wear this combo or is this crazy in your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximo101 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I do things like that, as well. My gen Omega Speedy is on a nylon strap from time to time, which looks quite cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horace derwent Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hmmmm....a cheap strap is lookin good on a Blancpain FF or on a Tudor, but putting a cheap strap on a Patek is really a no-way IMHO....like an Aston Martin with fabric seats Apologies for the brevity and any typos - sent with Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterego Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have to agree. This is the perfect example for a socially constructed perception. PP is the brand associated with wealth. Remeber the ad about never owning a PP, just taking care of it so as to pass it to the next (family) generation. The fabric strap makes it look affordaable and disposable. Pretty much like a like a fashion piece by Swatch or Fossil. Nothing wrong with these, but ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I think it's good to try and switch straps on watches. But I think a Patek should be on a nice leather strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 In my honest opinion, yes this looks better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bidle Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Well,.. do like all kind of straps, but this one would be nicer on leather. Some vintage Pateks look great on braided nato straps. Also wear some watches on cheap straps like lately my JLC. JLC DSC 04 by Bidle, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applied Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 looks much better with the leather strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychedelic Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I personally really like that braided NATO strap, it is a nice contrast to the watch face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
