I would say that I generally prefer straps as it is easier to see the movements closely. Furthermore, it is more convenient for me to share some of my watches with my Dad with straps.

For photo sharing this weekend, I chose Patek 5212A weekly calendar paired with a strap from Kurono Tokyo. For this timepiece a handwritten typeface is used for letters and numbers. For the strap, a handwritten poem is shown. This is a watch with hand writing on both the dial and the strap.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Many thanks Abel……

The AP will never see a strap - it’s all about the bracelet. The GMT does well on the Everest strap. In the case of the Moser the strap color seems to influence the fume dial. ...
Thanks Captain…..

I really like the texture of the nubuck strap in the Bremont. The way that it scuffs and marks up to create a unique patina is a short time span adds interest.

….. This flew under the radar at Harrods Fine Watch room for a few years -. Not sure why it didn’t sell earlier as I prefer the size at just over 40mm compared to the 42mm current models.
