    Hi All,

    I have a nice Pie-Pan but the strap is black which doesn't fit well with my other "accessories". Do you have suggestions for a stylish strap in earth tones that would look good with this watch? It would be my first strap purchase!

    A medium brown lizard or ostrich strap, perhaps? I prefer brown or tan to black for yellow gold cases.

    A few I have:

    First of all - congratulations on a lovely Connie
    Agree with the above
    Best thing with a pie pan is that because it has its own subtle but special bling you can go plain or textured strap
    yellow gold - all the way from dark brown to tan depending on your own taste
    Stay away from red browns which work better with pink gold
    I would avoid heavily padded straps as they can overshadow what is a relatively small watch by today's standards

    I found this Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Networkon the Bay. It's a Hadley Roma in Java lizard. What do you think?

    I purchased and installed the Hadley Roma strap shown above. I am very happy with the combination. I wear the watch a lot more already. Thanks to all for the comments.

    I was always asking myself about straps for all my watches. There is so many choice that became harder and harder to decide ... Finally I decided to try to do them by myself :D
    ... Just started 2 weeks ago but it is already an addiction ...

    ... Ok I still have a lot of work but you may try it is really funny !

    That's really cool. What tools does one need to start out?
