As requested by Reuven Malter, I took some straps to match against the Reverso Tribute Green. Which do you prefer? For me I like the original green, the Reddish-brown and the light brown/camel strap (for a more casual chic look). I feel the darker chocolate brown and black don't work as well on this green.



Original green strap






Original green strap again






Reddish brown rustic strap






Lighter brown casual strap






Darker brown chocolate strap






Black classic strap


Cheers Robin

That’s a beautiful Reverso! I like the green strap best followed by the reddish rustic brown.

Yes indeed. The first two are from JLC

The last 3 are aftermarket ones made by a friend

You can definitely tell which strap is the original

The first two strap looks of quality that is way above the last 3. The last three straps looks horrendous in terms of stitching, leather quality, and craftmanship.

Well spotted. The first 2 are from JLC

The last 3 are from a friend who made them whilst he lost his job. He learned how to make leather craft so I supported him. Yes they are of poorer quality but they are hand made by a friend so still very special to me. Cheers Robin

Either the green or the second one looks good.

The second is my preference - reduces the green and adds a little more casual toughness into the look
