    Hi all.

    I have a '76 Quartz Constellation that was me grandfathers. It went to my dad when he died, and me when my father died. I've had it for years on the aftermarket expandable bracelet that I always remember my grandad having it on. However, I want to use it in more formal occasions and would like a leather strap for it.

    I believe it came on a black croc strap (though never recall seeing it on a strap) and its 21mm I think. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I think a brown croc (flat, not glossy) would look better on this and make wearing more flexible.

    Well, I looked at various strap combos/colours and in the end went for the original scheme. Black alligator leather in the form of a Hirsch Duke. I want it only for specific formal occasions and I think this works well. I also like how it's back to the original scheme.

    Thanks. Black leather, and croc straps aren't normally my style, but I felt this watch deserved something special. It will get a proper outing in a few days when I head to London on a work trip!
