Not for me. But as they say, "De gustibus non est disputandum."

Probably too much on an all gold case. Maybe if it was a darker green.

I've got green strap with 2020 Tokyo Speedmaster with Sedna gold/green bezel, Sedna gold indices/chapter rings. Green is a tough color for a watch, imo.

Stunning watches and excellent photography!!!

The darker green wins out in my book.

Too bright. Darker green yes.

For my taste this green too bright and glossy. The black looks nice, very formal. I'd get myself a darker green for those less formal occasions.

Thank you, gentlemen. I had the same thought.

I actually think it looks fine, especially if you're looking to make a statement.

You would need shoes and belt to match it.

I'm a fan of darker green. I don't have a shot of a dark green strap on gold, but it looks classy IMHO.

If you want to be bold, then this works. But it’s hard to pair with the rest of the outfit IMO.

I quite like the darker green, looks great. Less fond of black which doesn’t pair as well with gold. Rather than black, brown would be my favourite choice… but it’s not as bold as green!!

I’m currently into Epsom leather straps with or without contrasting stitching - I find them lighter, softer and easier than crocodile

Definately too much.
If it has to be green, which is a good choice, I would recommend the darkest green as possible. And no visible stiches.

I would go for an original vintage strap...


I would love to find a source for a selection of colors made up into reproduction vintage straps just like this!
