V Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I had this off-white colour one ready couple of days ago and I still cannot decide which colour stitching will look good on it. I know it is a 'summer' strap so all the options are open.. Black will work but it is common I think with this off-white colour (Strapmasters danish pale) Blue will look good with jeans I think.. red is nice as well.. or maybe off-white matching or boring? Any recommendation are more than welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmilian Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Blue for a PAM 082 maybe ? otherwise probably black ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 It reminds me of my Toscana Capretto Grigio strap - I like the stitching on it - shown my 196 and I really like the combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I only have the 112.. so it goes to that watch.. D it is much lighter colour.. almost white than your Toscana.. but grey is another option I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 For the 112 I would do Black or a stitch to match the lume but I'm boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootall Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I would use a coffee with cream color thread or possibly a black. If you have it a dark navy blue almost black would go well. You really should finish your sides. It would give the strap a whole new look and compliment the stitching/leather combo. Kind of like a belt does with pants.

Victoria Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I would use a coffee with cream color thread or possibly a black. If you have it a dark navy blue almost black would go well. Whatever you do, don't make it orange. God, what was I thinking. You really should finish your sides. It would give the strap a whole new look and compliment the stitching/leather combo. Kind of like a belt does with pants. I think V likes to evoke the roughewn quality of straps of the 1940s frogman. Gorgeous strap colour, V. I am looking for a strap like Simona made for her 049, but I have to save for my Jules Verne first. If not, I would've ordered this one.

If not, I would've ordered this one. Thanks Vic.. To save you from the dilema, I don't have any more leather from this colour. It was just a small piece for max 2 straps and still don't know if I will be able to make a second one. Save for that JV.. Nice strap but too expensive I think. Btw I think I will go for very dark blue (close to black) stitching on this one.. It was my first option and I think it wIll look good with jeans.

It was just a small piece for max 2 straps and still don't know if I will be able to make a second one. Something told me that was the case, since you would've put it in another area, if yes. Shame. Save for that JV.. Nice strap but too expensive I think. $300, brand new. Trying to bargain a guy down to $280, but that's really obscene. I hope my parents never find out. It will be my last OEM strap. Btw I think I will go for very dark blue (close to black) stitching on this one.. It was my first option and I think it wIll look good with jeans. I can imagine that combo. I love your Elizabeth Taylor blue strap, and used it on the Andrew 113 often. And I guess that means that Max was the most influential, since he said blue or black! What perfect taste that man has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 V is this a deep dark blue color or black. By the way strap looks realy nice. If i had to choose i would have taken deep dark blue Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmilian Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Very nice I still think, this would look awsome on a 082 in the summer rotation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I was going to say a light coffee tone, i think there is a lot of contrast on that one, but with the right assesorys? I think Vic could find a bag or shoes to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

335xray Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Looks great V. Victoria, I hope you don't hate all orange stiching...or I will be hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Blue so you can look patriotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Looks great V. Victoria, I hope you don't hate all orange stiching...or I will be hurt Oh no! In fact, I love orange stitching, hence my choice. But you have to admit that strap is rancid. Bad leather, and stitchwork which looks like a Raggedy Ann doll. The new strap looks great, V!

sssurfer Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I see I am late here. Strap came out good, but next time I would try cappuccino stitching. To me, the warm, cream nuance (is it just the pics?) of that off-white requires warm tones for the stitching too. Blue and other cold tones would make for a better fit on a different, cold off-white, icy white like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and other cold tones would make for a better fit on a different, cold off-white, icy white like. Well-thought of, as usual, Sssurfer. I see that Panera suggests what I was going to suggest -- ivory (or off-white thread, itself). But seeing how V said this would go with his jeans, I think he made the sensible choice. A more daring choice would've been baby blue. The same blue as the Greek flag (the most beautiful blue there is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmilian Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 It is dark blue.. and I agree max it will look good with the 82 but I don't have any I do when you get tired of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
