Victoria Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Which are some of your unusual strap combos -- which surprised you by looking better than expected? Not mine, but I found this yellow strap looks wonderful on this gen Sub PAM (La Bomba): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Good topic. I have to say that I bought this Capretto Grigio strap in one of TC's monster sales for $19 not knowing what it would look good with. I have been pleasantly surprised how it looks on: 024 Submersible 196 Daylight Another is the Bob Vanilla strap. Looks surprisingly good on a 111: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Good topic. Thanks. V was saying the other day, how strap threads are not as frequent anymore on RWG. Let's change that. It's fun! I have to say that I bought this Capretto Grigio strap in one of TC's monster sales for $19 not knowing what it would look good with. Heh. I got it for $44.44. The watches look magnificent. Hold that thought! Another is the Bob Vanilla strap. Looks surprisingly good on a 111: WOW. After seeing your choices, I spent about 30 minutes just now, putting my watches on unusual strap choices. I tend towards the tasteful, and I want to get a little crazy. Case in point, my Bob Vanilla on the Andrew 111e. Looks great, but it's too...wait for it...vanilla. I'll be back tomorrow with more shots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timepiece Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Mostly seen on black croc or SS bracelet a PAM0250 looks surprisingly good on dark brown TWB croc: Right, black croc is the 'usual suspect' but I really like it on this custom brown strap as worn by Jason Statham in Transporter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Right, black croc is the 'usual suspect' but I really like it on this custom brown strap as worn by Jason Statham in Transporter: That's not a 250 and definately not an unusual strap combo (half panerais come with this strap as stock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeeyejo Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ooh, yes. I've seen it before, but never realised it was brown! A purple croc on a gen 111. Wicked. Purple Croc - Awesome look! Here's a few of mine: Pam 111H on Yellow Ostrich Leg lined with Beige Lambskin Pam 127 on Black Emu lined with Black Lambskin B&R BR01-97 on Brown Ostrich lined with Dark Green Lambskin Pam 92 Arktos on Black Elephant lined with Beige Ostrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 B&R BR01-97 on Brown Ostrich lined with Dark Green Lambskin Not a PAM I know, but WOWZA! Where did you get it?? Nice pics, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeeyejo Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Not a PAM I know, but WOWZA! Where did you get it?? Nice pics, BTW. Thanks! - actually made all the straps myself - my dad dabbles in leathercraft and I took a few scraps to play with - had to include the B&R since the strap will fit the 44mm Pams...

sssurfer Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Great topic idea -- as expected from our beloved Queen Vicky. Apologies for not having time enough to post pics but just my opinion. Many awesome combos here. Very few unlookable ones (to my Italian taste at least). Not so bad on such a brave subject like this, IMHO. The one I am 99% syntonic with is old skool, though. Congrats!

peepshow Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Prototype Savage strap. Sadly, he can't get this hide any longer. I think there are 2 other straps made from this leather out there somewhere... Tootall Blue Steel I don't know how "unusual" this is, but it's something that I don't see "in the wild" too often. Which is a shame, as it's a wonderful strap. Mario Paci Private Stock in cognac Toscana Fiero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastergod Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) Good topic. This buckle comes from the sling of an old H&K AG-3 submachine gun (used by the IRA, Muslim fundementalists, African guerillas AND the Norwegian army), which just happens to be a 24mm sling. The metal was once powdercoated black, but it Edited May 5, 2008 by mastergod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blobzor Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 The watch looks absolutely too big on this small wrists, bad taste...look at the buckle, it's almost the size of his arm.. Great watch and strap tho, just not for this owner..my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastergod Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) Your watch/arm combo is fine. However, quickly glancing at the steeringwheel Edited March 18, 2008 by mastergod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Good topic. This buckle comes from the sling of an old H&K AG-3 submachine gun (used by the IRA, Muslim fundementalists, African guerillas AND the Norwegian army), which just happens to be a 24mm sling. Well, I'll just concentrate on the Norwegian army bit, and say, WOW! Both in looks and functionality (one-hand snap offs, try that with a regular strap), an innovative strap. Yes, a little thin, but consider its background. I like it a lot. BTW, the purple croc shot is not mine. I am neither male, nor black, nor do I own that fine autombile. @Blobe: Yes, the gentleman said his wrists are 6.4". That's fairly small for a man's wrist.
