New black strap for 390

Thanks to the generosity of GT500 (John), I have a new OEM strap for the 390. It makes the tobacco dial appear darker almost graphite and the cream stitching perfectly matches the lume. Love this watch. Have a great weekend

I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the title of this thread, but, I'm very pleasantly surprised. That combo really works and looks great!

I was also surprised how good it looks on black rubber strap. The dial is such a dark brown that it works

Looks good. Hard to get a black strap to match with that one. The thread helps!

You'd be surprised. The black rubber works.

No, I can tell it looks good. I had a 390 and it was difficult to find a black strap that it looked really good on. You found one.

Thanks my friend. I think firstly it has a matte finish and the cream stitching definitely helps.
