I cannot understand why people are putting these high-tech ceramic oieces on vintage straps. This is a 2008 watch and since it is in black ceramic and has no link to the old vintage pieces. If you ask 1000 non-watch collectors, 999 of them would like it better on a nice neat black croc strap instead of a shabby brown strap.
To me if would be like putting a vintage 1936 Panerai on a carbon fiber strap...just the wrong heritage link.
But as we all know..to each his own.
