Testing a new strap for the 5270. What do you guys think?

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : May 19th, 2021-17:22
Ok so I am in the middle of ordering some bespoke straps for this 5270G. Went through my strap drawer (don't ask, there are hundreds 🀣🀣) and found this blood red special tanning nubuck alligator which fits the deployant buckle as I had it customer sized f...  

I think it works.

Thanks me too πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

I'll second that. Any strap would work.

I love the dichotomy of classic Patek look "vs "vulgar" color of strap. Enjoy!

I think it’s very cool

One of the benefits of a white/silver dial is that you can pair it with any color band. In an era of modern smart watches with a diverse range of band colors and styles, I think it’s very cool to blend a classic, uncompromising and beautiful time piece wi... 

Love it!

Hi, Justin. I think the bright red strap is very refreshing. The brushed grayish dial and blackened hands of your 5270G can carry this colour.

As it is your custom made strap, you must like red colour very much, then why not? Though it is indeed not a formal combo. Best, Henry

Yes Henry, definitely not formal at all but that is the way ai like it. I wear a suit MAYBE 1 or 2 times a year MAX and want to keep it that way 😜🀣

Used to dress up 5 - 6 days a week for many years and since then I have tried to live a MUCH MORE relaxed lifestyle, preferable in a shirt Hawaiian shirt, t-shirt, or something similar paired with camo shorts/pants or golf casual wear πŸ€£πŸ˜œπŸ‘. Seems like a st...

Huge congrats on this acquisition! Lovely piece! With regards to strap I love bold straps and. If the red goes with your character then it is a superb fit. However I not particularly fond of 20mm straps on Patek with 21mm lugs as they usually have.... sor... 

Thanks Keks and I agree about the fit. This red strap was actually made for another watch but I wanted to try it to see how the color goes with the dial and if I could pull it off...

I already placed an order for 5 bespoke straps in 21mm with my measurements so hopefully they will be done in a couple weeks. As for style, I prefer a more casual look and feel so bolder straps make it more fun and less serious 😁 Stay tuned πŸ˜œπŸ˜‰πŸ‘ ... 

I like the color, but I don’t think it matches the 5270β€˜s character

Understand the fun part, but Iβ€˜d go for a blue/green/tan strap and perhaps play with the material or the dtiching to make it interesting. Or put it on a Nato if you want to go all-out πŸ˜„

I think every strap will work

with this beauty. Personally I would choose a darker red. Enjoy and have fun! πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ‘ChamπŸ₯‚πŸ˜ Cheers Thomas
