Timepiece Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Now I have a small diversified collection of reps, but what's missing is a nice rep on a dark brown strap to go with either my casual distressed brown calf leather belt or my dressy chocolate brown/cream stitched belt and shoes. I'm interested in your suggestions both dressy as well as casual. Until now I have been thinking about: - a dark brown croc/calf/kudu with white stitching + (off-)white dial. - a dark brown croc/calf/kudu + grey/graphite dial Thanks for your suggestions and pics are very much appreciated!!

deltatahoe Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 this is one of my favorites: white dial breitling chronomat evolution on genuine brown crocodile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Buy any watch you like and replace the strap.... 99.9% of the supplied rep straps are trash anyhow... its pretty easy to source decent leather. And @TTK.... that Auedmars Piguet... Gen?. It appears that the Tourby is functional.... wonderfully beautiful watch either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timepiece Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Thanks guys for the suggestions!! TTK, I spotted your Chopard pics before and think they look stunning, especially the double stitching is something special and sporty. I'm also considering the Mille Miglia GMT with white dial on a leather strap. The Radiomirs in gold have caught my attention in the last two weeks; I think these clean models even respresent the brand better than the superp PAM112 and will go great with a suit. Deltatahoe; yep your stunning BCE combination also made it to my wishlist after I spotted it in your collection overview! Where did you get the gen straps; at an AD? I'll be back later with pics after I'll have pulled the trigger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timepiece Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Thanks Pug, I think this 3717 would also look great with a curved end strap; what's the lug width anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 @timepiece, i got my breitling strap on ebay; i actually have another black one that i'm considering selling (it's posted in the trading forum here, which also has a link to the seller's ebay listings)-- let me know if you're interested... also, the lugs on the 3717 are 21mm... deltatahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timepiece Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 OK, in that case I think a 21mm Sirtoli curved-end Andreas would be a great addition to the 3717. Too bad for me it looks like 'dark honey' is the darkest colour available... Example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 that's a nice looking gator strap i think you're right -- the dark honey looks a little light for a black dial watch though i wonder if you could just squeeze a 22mm watch boys alligator strap (see here) into the 21mm lugs deltatahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timepiece Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) OK, I tried very hard to find a double-white-stitched strap like TTK has on his pics with (a.o.) the Chopard XL. But other than a glossy gator or tan model from Hadley Roma I could not find. TTK please don't tell me it's custom made Now I spotted this nice Japanese pic of a Mille Miglia GMT rep (Tach-O-meter i.s.o. Tach-Y-meter :-). I like this combination! ...But I haven't come across a (3-hole) rally strap like this in gator type/grain, only in plain leather. Anybody know where to get this strap???
