Had no plans to buy this but found one at a boutique in London and fell in love. NATO strap looked cool but pairing it with a leather croc I think has made this watch pop.

Consider trying it on a titanium bracelet... Pretty much looks great on everything. Congrats.

The Croc strap is the absolute best choice for this beauty! Congratulations!!

I have always thought that this one looks great on any strap....except for nato...

Thanks super doc, I agree It was one of the reasons I walked away from the watch originally as well as wanting to research it. I saw in the forum one with a brown croc (can't remember who's it was), that changed it for me.

I love that dial. So much cooler in real life compared to pics.

Congrats.
