condemore Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 I have the Skyland with grey dial. I've wearing it in ss bracelet. I've try sometimes the leather rep straps, but I always return to install the ss. I received 2 croco rep straps with deployant, one black I asked for and one brown I received by error. I've tried both in the Skyland and I like them both. But I can
c0r Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 I'd say black croc.. Thats my vote.. I just got this watch and I just ordered the same black.....
lewis123 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 If You ask me, the brown one adds a "touch of class" to it. Best regards, Lewis.
mjmurphy926 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 I like the brown...But much like By-tor's affection for blue dials (or maybe it just seems that way to me.), I am partial toward brown straps...whether it be croc, gator, or just plain cow...I love the brown!!
chillininla Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 The black one for sure. It makes the watch look a lot classier.
siesta181 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 excellent photos condemore, mind telling me what lens you are using? KR Siesta
condemore Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Posted September 25, 2008 excellent photos condemore, mind telling me what lens you are using? KR Siesta Good name, "siesta", hmmmmm. I'm using the cheaper Nikon lens.... 50mm f1.8 but on a Nikon D80, a DX camera (it converts to 75mm focal lenght). Regards Condemore
paulw Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 I like both but agree the black does look sharper.
rogerthat Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 I like both, which suprises myself. Change based on your shoes I say both look good. Nice photos too. If they were gen Breitling croc straps I would prefer the Brown. With the rep options, if forced to choose,I would go black and never go back. Cheers, M
RedSoxMan Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 The Brown looks better with the Grey...
Toadtorrent Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 Well...the answer is clear...either black or brown work. However...if you are Lani...you could go for the divers. Lanikai's Skyland on Rubber I think the brown looks awesome for the standard every day wear...and the black when you need to dress it up a bit. Rubber is good for saying "don't !#%% with me"...and the bracelet is great for heft and bling.
fotoman Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 looks like the brown is thicker - i go for Gerth i'm waiting on my damn strap from hktan so i can wear mine already !!!
FxrAndy Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 I say the black but i think a very dark blue would look very good also
Fozziebear Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 I vote for Brown ! - Black strap fits a black dial, but doesn't match so good with an grey dial. - Brown strap gives a nicer "contrast" and isn't so "hard" as black.
Lugnegard Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Really like both, the brown has really caught my attention though, very thick and with some great padding. I think it complements the beautiful grey dial perfectly. But it all comes down to personal taste and, perhaps even more important, what you are wearing that day! A suit, a nice shirt or a sweater...take whatever matches! I woud however really like to know where you bought your straps, I need that brown one. Best regards, Mike
