Finally back to leather

As a San Diego native living in Louisiana, I rarely get to enjoy a leather strap on a watch. There is just too much water down here. Either it is pouring down from the sky, or so incredibly hot and humid that I can't look outside without sweating. I love the look of the 112 on rubber, but there is just something nice about leather.

We're catching some wonderful weather here this week so I decided to break out the OEM leather for a few days before it gets back up near 90. Sometimes I miss home

I like the convenience of bracelet, but the look and feel of leather - esp for PAMs is just nicer.

That looks like the same OEM calf strap I have from the zero.... damn stiff - and frankly not very comfy, but I am still trying to break mine in. Hope it gets softer.

Looks great. I love the leather straps but I wear the rubber comfort strap at least 75% of the time. Love the look and feel.

I would have to agree, fall is coming and I wear the oem rubber strap 80% of the time due to the humidity here in Florida! So enjoy the leather while you can!
