Duometre -- does anyone change the strap?
Still very much enjoying the Duometre, and I wore it to the boutique yesterday when I went to see some of the novelties for the first time. A question, though, for fellow-members of the Duometre club: have any of you changed the strap for another color? The black JLC alligator strap is handsome enough, but.I may try something else. If you've made a change, please post pictures.
Cheers,
Jed

I was thinking maybe black alligator but
with edges painted the same color as the chrono hands? Could be cool. 😎
That's a cool idea. I would probably go a darker strap color to match the dial.
The stitching in the color of the Chrono hands is a good idea too. For some weird reason, certain colors of edge paint just don't hold up as well as black edge paint. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but I remember the gray edge paint on a brand of straps ...
Interesting, Patrick.
It never crossed my mind that edge paint could degrade, but good to know.
Given that few of my watches stay on the OEM strap…
I most certainly would. The VC1972 being the one exception 😊🤷🏻♂️ But unfortunately the Duometre is still on the to get list, so no pictures…
I, too, enjoy changing straps!
Must have been those early days as a Paneristi that made me strap crazy! Cheers, Jed
Another watch (brand) that has not yet entered the collection …
But straps certainly get changed 😁
