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 w...
Your watch is beautiful
Bit with that strap it looks stunning!!! Thanks for sharing. René
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...

This is my first python strap

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....
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!
