looks great. (although almost any strap would look good with that particular timepiece) Always love seeing your 2915s. Darren
Why not a brown distressed calf leather strap? Cheers, Nilo
Please don't forget to put some plastic on the back of the case when you use the Perlon strap - it eats the case... Best Blomman
thanks a lot for the suggestion , did not know , will do when use it with the new watch
... anyway... I like the gray one best. Thanks for sharing such a unique watch! Very cordially, Abel.
. . . the 'shoelace' grey strap, but after mulling it over for a day, it matches well with the subdial hands, so even that one should be a keeper. Of course, when it comes to watches of this caliber, they could be attached to your wrist with rubber bands and still be fine ;-) . . .
