    Another post by our esteemed naked member got me thinking - now that's something :)

    This watch has almost hit the f.s. on several occasions as I have never quite found the love, several strap changes made no difference so following on from Dablitzer I thought of trying a mesh - luckily plenty lying around.
    I think it looks better but interested in others opinions.

    To me the stainless bracelet clashes with the gold hardware of the watch. Have you tried a grayish brown or med brown croco?

    I vote leather. Don't love the white stitching with this one, though. I'm thinking black ostrich.

    My thoughts, med brown croco certainly worth a shot. Steel and gold bracelet in the drawer may fit and worth a try.

    As you say it is the gold hardware which is the problem.

    Yes without the gold hardware that bracelet would have looked super.

    I vote for the leather bracelet, classic, perfectly suitable with such a beautiful watch.

    Better then the white stitching. Don't get me wrong , I love white stitching, just not on this watch. White stitching works when there is some thing to bounce it off of, like here, white dial.

    How about a honey ostrich?

    The warm color would work nicely with the gold bits on the dial.
