Asking for a bit of advice...
Before having a great lunch with Nico and Mahesh in Paris yesterday, I stopped by ABP to pick up and order some custom straps for several watches for me and my wife. Unfortunately, they mixed up my initial order so had to redo it. I was pretty sure of wha...
Thanks for your comments Nico, so that is 1 for the double stitch...
I really think you should get this grey nubuck special tanning (multi-tone) 😁👍
Me too for the rose
Hands down, no-brainer! Share a pic when it’s finished please... Best E.
Thanks for the feedback so 3 1/2 for rose gold and 1 1/2 for double stitch...
Once it is finished I will definitely post a photo or 2 😉
Thanks for the feedback so 1 1/2 for rose gold and 1 1/2 for double stitch 😁...no not CF, it is ABP (Atelier du Bracelet Parisien)...
I have had an amazing experience with them over many years and have never been disappointed which includes multiple times they had to redo a few straps due to. The one thing I appreciate the most is they take responsibility to make sure you are 100% satis...
The first one AND double stitched in gold
I’m not Sure about the underlying strap itself (maybe just bad photos?
i think your first picture is a great combo !
i would choose that if i'm in your shoes Best, mahesh.,
Thanks for the feedback Mahesh, so 4 1/2 for rose gold and 1 1/2 for double stitch
We need to have another lunch / mini GTG soon 😉
Listen to your wife
She is right: the Speedmaster strap does seem out of balance with the Duometre. The grey straps are superb As far as the stitch is concerned: I don’t like the double stitch that much, it’s too much and defeats the purpose. But that rose gold stitch, which...
I would go for number two.
But regardless of the stitching color, the strap is gorgeous.
Finally our first vote for the metallic silver stitch 😁...Thanks for the feedback so 6.5 for rose gold and 1.5 for double stitch and 1 for metallic silver...
And I agree that the grey NUBUCK is gorgeous 😉
That color strap is beautiful.
And it works very well with the dial. I think a gold stitch takes the focus away from the dial. To some extent, anyway. The silver doesn’t draw attention to the strap. That would be my preference.
I ordered a dark gray distressed gator strap for my Duometre Chrono too!
I went with blue contrast stitching so I already voted for option 1 with my wallet. One thing also considered was an asymmetric stitching pattern - silver stitching on the left and blue (gold for you) stitching on the right to match the dial layout with s...
Thanks for the feedback and I also think a racing type strap would make it more casual and sporty, so 9.5 for rose gold, 2.5 for double stitch and 2 for metallic silver...
I most likely will get a few more straps since I like different looks so one will surely be some sort if nubuck calf (standard or racing type) 👍 I do agree with most of what you said but since the Duometres are in precious metal, mine 2 being white gold a...
Grey NUBUCK multi-tonal alligator with rose gold stitching for sure
That stitch is too perfect for the similarly colored hands
