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 C...

I was first introduced to special tanning nubuck in my favorite Panerai strap (so called JV Tan) love the look then and it looks great now on your CB!

Nice! Those fabrics texture would look nice on one of my Pam! 👍

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 👍

Great choices Gustav!😂I love the first alligator, including the way it was aged, I think you can easily pull it off all year round!👍🥂Enjoy.

LOL Fab. You're the first to use my alter ego. Gustav could pull anything off. That dude is a Rico Suave type 🤣😂

👍😂

🤪😉🤣😂💪

Both nice combos

Thanks for your input. I am pretty sure you could pull off the crimson/cardinal red gator. It actually looks darker IRL. The khaki grey is definitely more versatile and conservative 😉

Lovely straps there

Thanks for your feedback Mike 😉👍🙏

both great

I agree that the khaki/grey nubuck is more versatile and also more conservative compared to the cardinal red gator Andreas. Blue & white = Yale , Cardinal and white = Stanford 😁

sorry sir...my eyes always go to the tantalum case ;-)

That's the point Mahesh. With the OEM blue strap, I think the CB is a bit monotone with the dial so having the khaki grey and cardinal red gators gives the dial and case more contrast 😉

red for me

Thanks for the input Hannes. I like both for different reasons but the red one definitely stands out more 😉

They both look 👀 good 😌

Grey for Justin and Red for Gustav 🤣😂

Justin, the torture continues!! What did I do to deserve this??

You didn't do anything Tony but sometimes torture can also be sweet 😉🤣😂

I like how a grey strap brings out the grey tones of the tantalum.

Thanks Bill, I do as well 😉👍

I remember the JV straps well. Indeed the special tanning process has made some exceptionally good looking hides 😉🙏

#2 for me . . . works all day, every day!

Thanks for your feedback my friend. The khaki grey is definitely more versatile and could do well as a daily 😉👍
