Something a little different...

Hey guys, thought I'd share this new strap with you since it's new to me and a little out of the norm.

My modest strap collection consists of: OEM Assolutamente, OEM Vintage Brown Gator, OEM Black Gator, ABP Special Tanning Honey Gator, Dirk 1994 Cognac, Dirk PAV 91, and a Micah Mauser.

Yesterday, to my surprise, my fiance gifted me a British Green Toad strap from Combat Straps. Added to my collection, it's definitely the odd one of the bunch. I wore it today to break it in and so far I'm enjoying it. The strap itself is pretty well made and after a little handling, the stiffness quickly went away. The glossy leather backing is pretty comfortable so far, though I haven't tested it out in the blazing Houston heat yet. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I just wanted to share my opinions and some pics with the community. Enjoy!

Not bad at all.
Deep green straps always seem to work with Panerai.

Yeah, I wear my watches before my wrist bone. Maybe it's the angle of my arm/hand...I think it's just fine. Maybe an overall picture would show what I mean...



Does anyone wear their watches on or after their wrist bone?
