Awesome strap
Jan 15, 2021,17:01 PM
My advice is wear that strap hard... getting it a little wet, a little oily, a little dirty does wonders for the look. I’ve had a few in my day and love them.
You might not be inclined to believe me but this is essentially the same as what you have... mine is the Beige “Vintage” Ponte Vecchio, whereas you have the Beige Ponte Vecchio (without the Vintage designation). It’s the same material, mine just has the unfinished edges, the OP Logo, and no padding. My strap started out light and became... perfect. A little bit of oily sheen and super comfortable. Enjoy it!

The Ponte Vecchio is a great strap

I have abused mine for years and it gets better over time, just be aware that they have a structural design flow like most OEM straps because they use glue instead of rolling up the leather at the buckle: ...
Looks nice!

372 w/ Plexi

422 is easy to spot as it has the seconds at the 9 o’clock subdial
The 372 was Plexi up until Serial Letter S

Then they switched over to Sapphire. My dream would be a Plexi 372 with Power Reserve on the back. I love how the look of the PR on the 3000 caliber. So much nicer than their other calibers where it IMO looks like an afterthought.
Well done

Great combo!

I also bought this strap with my 995 because I liked it more than the dark reddish brown strap it was originally on. But I ended up putting an alternative strap to both these, while keeping this one till a later time. But you do make it look mighty tempti...
Yours is already great👌🏼

I just happen to like the OEM straps with the little logo . But I still think your above beige strap gives the 995 a more elegant look (which is why I have that strap on standby). Enjoy yours in the best of health.
Tks!
