    Bought this like 7 years ago as a fixer-upper: it needed some TLC. Some people have these repainted, but I feel it looks much better like this, even in this condition. I am usually very good at pairing straps with a case, but this one is tough. I've actually worn it very little. I'd like to get a better strap and wear it more regularly.

    33mm, 3 piece stainless case at 33mm, patina of all colors in the dial, and 18mm thru lugs. I'm color blind so I cannot accurately describe the colors. I'm looking for a very traditional strap- flat (no or very little padding), black or brown (but I'm open to other appropriate suggestions), and in the 20- $40 dollar range. I prefer the plain calf look, but something like a lizard embossed texture would work too.

    I just put a chocolate pigskin strap on a 1954 Connie and I love it. Mine is from Torre straps and is more expensive but you might find one like it. Also Timesofplenty on EB has lots of nice vintage straps and are very responsive.
    Here are some photos your watch is lovely
