I'm really more focused on the watch than the strap, but I have to admit, the strap is great!

I agree

my idea was that careful choice of strap colour can 'bring out' and compliment subtle colours on the dial. On the other hand the watches are gorgeous!! I think that the original QF is under appreciated. Regards Antony
