The colors are very complementary to the versatile dial color. Excellent quality from the folks at ABP!

Picked up my bespoke straps so figured I would play around.

Both are special tanning nubuck alligator with silver/white stitch and alligator lining as well. Gives the Malte chrono a different look as the straps are a bit beefier than the OEM strap which I think gives it a more casual and sporty look. What you do g...

Here I would go for both. Very nice looking combinations. Bravo.

Both? LOL, now you're stealing my line mon ami 🤣😂

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 23rd, 2021-06:22

Yes, that crossed my mind...

You have truly come to the dark side 😜

Big fan of the malte chrono

By: Arronax : January 23rd, 2021-06:32

Such an understated watch, I love the fact that it has a telemeter scale. Beautiful straps, do you have pics of the lining?

Agreed. In fact, the Malte is one of my favorite manual wind high-end chronographs due to the case, lugs, and guilloché dial.

I had the grey nubuck alligator lined with a navy blue alligator and quick set string bars for easy on and off strap changes 👍. It was also handstitched ...

Thanks for sharing!

I first tried small scale alligator lining on the Chopard LUC Flyback Chrono and I haven't been able to forget how awesome it felt!

Yes I agree. I have been using small scale alligator lining for many years now and really think it makes a big difference

Outstanding! I'm a sucker for blue

By: aperna : January 23rd, 2021-06:52

Me too Tony, so that makes 2 - 1 for blue

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 23rd, 2021-07:05

Straps look very good 👍

By: Cpt Scarlet : January 23rd, 2021-07:18

Thanks Cpt, do you have a preference?

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 23rd, 2021-07:24

Blue, all day long 👌

By: Cpt Scarlet : January 23rd, 2021-07:26

3 - 1 blue, thanks for the feedback Cpt 👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 23rd, 2021-07:30

Beautiful watch. Beautiful straps

By: Rosneathian : January 23rd, 2021-09:24

Count me in for the grey. May I ask what brand they are? Thanks.

Thanks, so 3 - 2 blue ahead of grey for the moment. They are from ABP 👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 23rd, 2021-09:26

Grey for the comeback win, then

By: Rosneathian : January 23rd, 2021-09:32

and thanks for the reference. Much appreciated.

😉🙏👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 23rd, 2021-09:35

First choice: both. Second choice: grey if you only get one

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 23rd, 2021-10:37

Actually got both so not a problem there. I like both but just wanted to see other's preferences. So 3 - 3 so far 😁

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 23rd, 2021-10:46

Will go for grey !

By: gautamak : January 23rd, 2021-10:47

Thanks for your input, 4 - 3 grey 👍

Many thanks. ABP is amazing indeed 👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 25th, 2021-03:17

Both are nice. I prefer the blue.

By: quattro98 : January 24th, 2021-19:23

Thanks for the feedback, so 4 - 4 tie

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 25th, 2021-03:19

Fantastic straps! Add a ton of character to this outstanding VC.

By: mrds : January 27th, 2021-03:53

Both blue and grey are great combos! Since imho most silver-dialed watches look good with a blue strap, my vote goes to grey. It's an unusual look that works just great on the Malte. Cheers, Daniel

Many thanks for your feedback Daniel. And I agree that straps really change the look, especially for silver dials 👍. So 5 - 4 for the grey strap

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 27th, 2021-13:56

Both are great...

By: p.boxster : January 27th, 2021-12:51

Very nice straps!! And congrats to this superb watch!! Great how different the whole watch looks with the different straps!!!

Thanks my friend and agreed about the straps changing the look of a watch. Makes it super fun as well 👍
