Is the first pic the stock one? Great! πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ˜Š Alcantara and grey/silver stiching fits very well! Why not making a shorter one of this at Kudoke?

Or ask a watchstrap maker to do it in your proportions? I always do that!

Strap ideas?

Can’t think of anything great for this one. I have a nubuck black alligator coming from Terry but want something more casual too. Any ideas? I actually like the stock alcantara but it’s too long for my wife and it’s very stiff. ...  

Lovely watch - enjoy in good health.

Black croc or alligator will look great to dress it up. Look forward to seeing more pics. For a casual look - how about a lighter grey/tan/taupe suede strap?

I have some croc coming!

I like the idea of a very light taupe! Will mess around with that, thx!

For casual, maybe a blue alcantara.

There are blue flecks on the dial, it might work to match those with a strap. You need to find the right shade of blue though.

The first one is a Tuns babele!

I like the idea of alcantara. That is what the stock one was but it was too big and the strap was extremely stiff. I'm not sure if the stiffness is related to alcantara?

Thanks - yes his work is awesome

I've wanted one for a long time... And then we stumbled into Sydel in Chicago to check out some watches. My wife picked this up and was really impressed with it, and I've had a kudoke itch for a long time, so it was a bit of an impulse buy...which is weir... 

Just as a counterpoint

I’m going between vintage 70’s steel bracelet (maybe beads of rice) and a silver strap with black stitching

That is one sweet piece!

Don't think I can add anything re straps. All good suggestions. Is it still possible to get one of these? Think he nailed it with this one!

Yes there's no real wait or anything

I believe some ADs have them in-stock. I'm very impressed with it for what I paid. Kudoke does nice work! ...  

Love this rare piece from Stefan & Ev!

Very few of these are made each year. I’d go with a navy blue suede strap. Or navy alligator if that’s your style. Enjoy this gem! Cheers, Tim
