Straps for 5970G.....
Hi All...I need some advise from you guys.
I'm thinking of making some custom straps with interchangeable pin system from camille for my 5970G.
Any suggestions?
In my head, I'm thinking of a 1) dark brown lightly padded semi matt strap and a 2) medium-dark brown non padded vintage looking strap.
Choice no.2 was once suggested by Suitbert.
Anyone has any idea how a non padded strap will work on a 5970 when it is not that thin and has DB buckle?
Also, what does vintage looking strap mean?
Any pictures to share?
Any 3rd choice suggestion?
Or should I change the DB nuckle to tang?

Blue for me
I put a blue PP strap on mine (similar my ref 5296 one) and I find it complements the watch far better than the brown. The blue plays off the gunmetal hands and seems a better match for the WG. Having said that the brown strap on my 5124 works well but I ...
I will surely get one in grayish blue :-)
It will be a nice combo to mix around with the brown strap. Thanks. *CL
You have one of the most beautiful....
wrist shot of 5970G. Yum Yum Many Thanks Arolex. I love the blue strap. Is that glossy or Semi-Matt ? Which Patek was it originally meant for? *CL This message has been edited by CL on 2008-09-09 08:52:15
Yes, that the strap I have on my 5970
Same one as Arthur has on his and released to go with the 5296. Only problem I have found is the shiny patent finish wears fairly quickly with regular use.
Brown and Blue
I think the option Suitbert gave you is great. I have seen a Lange Pisa with that I think, frmo a Harry Tan pic. It looks so cool!!! Blue is great too. For a white metal and what/grey dial, the blue is such a nice look. In fact I hve it on my PT/WG resona...
Hi Tim...this is interesting :-)
May I ask what color is this strap and what's is it orogonally meant for. Is it meant for 5101 tourbillion? Many thanks Lovesss*CL
Stingray woth centre pearl?
You could try a Stingray skin strap with the centre pearl in the colour of your choice - very expensive but pretty unique. XXX do them. This message has been edited by Dje on 2008-09-09 11:06:44
