My Camille Fournet python strap is finally here
Did a post earlier wondering if the 5167R would look ok on straps other than the OEM rubbers and after some considerations, I placed an order for the CF python strap. The choice of python was to have variations in the strap color as it really depends on which part of the hide CF chose but that’s also where I have mixed feelings coz it’s highly dependent on CF then.
Strap is finally here and unfortunately, it didn’t have enough of the dark patches to get the variation I desired. Think it didn’t turned out well after all.

As a python lover myself (I have no straps, but many, many belts! ;-) I don't think it looks bad, though as you say darker tones perhaps will match the case color a tad better...
Maybe try not to change it for a while and see if you get used to it though -- it's nonetheless a strap that displays character and is not too far from your original intentions....However, as I said in another thread, it might be hard to beat the original Patek rubber strap for this model! ;-) Cheers.
I see now what you were going for in terms of a light/dark mix that matches the case/dial interaction.
And while the hide pieces didn’t have enough darker spots, it still does look amazing and unique. Nicely done and thank you for sharing this sharp combination.
Sorry I have to disagree...
...imho it looks stunning. To be honest I was very sceptical when you asked the question about other options but the rubber strap, as I am a big fan of the rubber one but now I realise what you were having in mind. The variation of colours obviously differs from one python strap to the other and it could have been darker also why not, but just as it is it looks really great to me. Since you seem to already have experience with python skin for straps or other men’s accessories don’t you think that with time it will get some patina and become darker if you wear it as it is now?
Anyhow I think you should not feel disappointed it looks gorgeous like this also. Enjoy it and wear it in the best of your health !
This is my first python strap
So I’m not too sure if this will patina further. I would think so and in that case, the darken tones will definitely be even better! Thanks for the encouraging comments.
I think it looks really special, and, as Mike point out, the strap might become darker over time.
Food for thought: What about a dark brown stitching on the strap? Best, V.
A m a z i n g looking strap, love the color differences and the brown tone [nt]

Very well done. It bridges the striking case with the more casual dial, and brings a great sophistication to it.
I agree with you on more dark patches, but think you knocked it out of the park as-is.
And nothing some alcohol and a brown sharpie can't fix... kidding... I think....
It’s difficult to thank everyone individually here
So allow me to add a reply here to all the encouraging comments, thank you very much!
