For those who own a grey dial, could you post some photos of your watch with your strap other than the steel bracelets? Trying to find some good straps for a grey c-case Constellation specifically, but wanted to see what straps generally work with the grey dial. Thank you!

I love stew bracelets on grey dial watches. Just gives an amazing look IMO.

If a strap is a must, avoid black as it tends to wash out the dial. Textured grey or even a blue hue work well as do tan. I’ll try and dig out some pics.

I'm not too familiar what a stew bracelet is?

I don’t have a grey dial watch at the moment, but it is a color that can support many options. For a splash of fun color, this is my favorite.

Always loved this strap. Could I get a link for this please?

I went black and had the stitching match the second hand. I tried a couple gray and felt it was too much gray. A black strap with stitching that matches the dial or loom might look nice

Another grey dial. The red stitching on the strap complements the second hand.

Leaning towards getting a grey strap, but love the idea of matching the color of patina with the strap.
