Hi Francois..

I respect everyone's opinion and personal preferences and I don't have an issue with that. What it has led me to is to try different things, such as putting this brown strap or even blue on what was previously a watch with a black strap. I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome and will continue to experiment with different strap options. I do agree that for certain watches or occasions that demand formal attire and black is the main theme, matching it with an elegant watch shod in black croc. for example presents the best option IMO.

My main point is to show a different strap choice and not intended to challenge anyone's personal opinions or preferences. I hope we could just stay focused on whether the outcome of my switch is to your liking or not. smile Thank you.

Best
Fernando

After reading about a certain esteemed moderator's dislike of black straps, I decided to honour him and change out the black for brown on this watch. What do you think? I think he's got a point, especially in this case. :) Thanks for looking. Fernando ...  

That looks superb...

Dark Blue is another possibility, given the beautiful blue chrono second hand.

Thanks Jester...

Dear Fernando, I do not know which Moderator said...

that a black strap was not good. I definitely disagree with him or her. A black strap is Always best with white metal, at least, this is my opinion. Cheers, Francois

of yours, it is one of my favourite chronograph and to me or in my opinion a strap with a "grey" in it looks better, be it black, blue or anything in between. Just my taste:) Cheers, Francois

You could be right Francois!

I may try your suggestions, especially the blue one ... or the grey! :) Thank you. Best Fernando

I think it could be a "killer":):):) I have a Daytona in white metal..

it came with a brown strap and when I was visiting Paris and Amanico! Or should it be the other way around :):) I changed the strap for a grayish blue one and it gives an entirely new, fresh look to the watch. Will take a pic and post it. Cheers, Francois... 

This post, Fernando, shows ...

your cruel nature - but rest assured, revenge will come and it will come soon - and it will be mine ;-)! Seriously, I like the combination but I am with Jester here: a dark blue might well be an option. On a last note, I admire your second picture - shows... 

I'm a quick learner Magnus...

Been on the receiving end too many times. :) I can't wait for what you have in store for me. Please, take no prisoners & go for the jugular! The blue strap is on my wish list. Thanks for the compliment! cheers fernando

Looks great Fernando
