... to find the right strap for the watch... Ever since I got my Senator perpetual with anthracit dial I struggle with this - the OEM light cognac strap with white stitching does not even qualify as a second or third choice, imho. I tried a dark cognac ga...  

Yes, as a Paneristi at heart, I am always interested in the right strap, but there are so many choices from really great strap makers that I rarely "struggle" with it. The hunt is half the fun! Best, Jed

I enjoyed Panerais and the strap changing habit for many years - nowadays I play that game with my Fifty Fathoms and Air Command Best, Henrik

looks very nice to me. I also could imagine a dark grey. Recently I saw a pair of shoes from John Lobb (Paris) which would fit perferct with the dial Oliver ps: And yes, I know/understand this kind of "problems"

seems to be the best choice.... at least for me Did you consider matte black- anthracite??? Cheers

you find your perfect strap soon.... Cheers

Hi, Art! Pumpkin soap works wonders for leather goods! Maybe a good cleaning is all your unique strap requires? I have never tried it on exotic leathers, but I assume the result will be quite similar from my experience with calfskin sneakers or casual sho... 

. . . if it doesn't work, I'll need to order another strap anyways! Thanks, Alex . . . cordially, Art

Love it. The brown really goes with the grey color. And if you are ever tired of it, you may want to try a grey leather strap. Breguet makes these nice leather straps in "sanded" matte finish. May go well too. All the best..!

i think Geo has a grey dialled Star wheel with a grey stingray strap. that might work as it isnt a flat surface so will look different in different lighting as the dial does. i'm a real strapaholic and think the right strap is almost as important as the w...
