One for spring/summer and one for fall/winter or just fun to mix and match. Both colors represent both my Alma maters which is nice and probably a subconscious choice. Of course I could always go with the OEM blue gator but these 2 just personalizes the CB more for me. Any thoughts 🤷‍♂️

1st one is an aged special tanning crimson/cardinal multi-tone nubuck gator.

2nd is an aged special tanning grey/khaki multi-tone nubuck gator

Indeed they would. The aging or distressed look is very appealing and gives the leather hide a nice depth which is touch to capture in photos. In real life, it looks very cool with a more 3D effect 👍

Both nice combos

I‘ll take No 2. Brings out that dial very nicely and works great with the tantalum case. Probably I‘m just to shy to go for the red 😂
