I can't decide what to do with this .... .... so I'm begging you all to post photos of your salmon dialed watches to give me ideas for a strap. I don't think black's going to cut it.
Thought I would give this thread a bump, because I too am, well, strapless: I was thinking about a bonklip/bamboo/ladder bracelet, but then @Syrte recently posted these ideas on her Instagram page: I rather like those Longines...
I like the black on the left but neither your watch nor mine has the lugs to pull that off ... the matt tan on the right looks great, though, for both.
Gents, thanks for the nod. Your watches are both gorgeous. May I recommend tan or grey suede? I've seen tan suede Fluco straps for sale on Ebay-- can't remember if they have all sizes. Much cheaper than other options. The left one is in fact dark brown, I dislike black straps, find them cold and drab.
This is what salmon and grey look like. This one is staying on the watch. I do need to change the buckle though.
Grey might look too bland for the Longines due to its (lovely) pale color, but it would look super nice IMHO with the EP. It would have to be the right shade of course (without any misplaced puns intended...)... somewhere in the middle. A grey saffiano of the type made by Massimiliano or BandRband would look smashing on it I think. Maybe some JPMs too.
Just received this great tan suede strap (pictured next to the watch below), purchased 28 USD on Ebay- no relation to the seller. https://m.ebay.fr/itm/18mm-Mens-Flu...-Band-Strap-/231584259470?txnId=1482946747013Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Excellent quality, flat vintage style, I don't see the added value of spending 120 USD or euros for a similar product. This is the tan color, they have others.
This seems to be the only real thread about salmon dials on the forum, which I guess speaks to their rarity. I think it deserves a revival, so here's my Minerva chronograph. Would love to see some more.
I have always felt that salmon colored dials bring out an elegance to most watches. A crocodile strap would complete the watch. A Patek Philippe 5035 with salmon dial....
