    hi everyone,
    I've been thinking about getting a dark blue strap for variety, and was wondering if any of you would have pictures of a dark blue strap mated to a watch?

    I'm curious to see what works well with it - steel case? gold? what types of dials? Blue straps aren't common, I suspect cos they're tough to match, but I'm sure you guys have had some good combos - share some pictures and give me some ideas! :D Thanks!

    I guess not.
    No blue straps for now, only blue stitching.

    Here's one, a blue lizard strap, to match the blued steel hands...unfortunately I don't seem to have a photo to show the strap to better advantage -- these make it seem more dark gray or black. It's really a rich navy blue. But you get the idea.

    Nah. It's just nice for me. Have read it has got something to do with the focal length of the phone camera so watches looks bigger than they really are on the wrist. So it will be staying with me. Still welcome you to visit Singapore though.;)

    I'm not very imaginative with blue straps... I tend to match 'em with blue dials:

    I used to have it on this - until the correct steel bracelet came along:
