Hmm, nubuck decisions

So the new strap arrived, well one of them anyway, i think i like the darker look, gives me the choice of either going light or dark and of course there's always the Simona nubuck if i want to have a chunky day.

So another test to see who has the same tastes as me, what is the order you'd wear these in






And of course, the new strap on the wrist

p.s, my arms aren't actually as white as this picture, the damn photoshop thing removes all colour from my arm when auto correcting the colours

My preference would be from left to right, according to your pictures but the difference in my liking the JV over the Simona is like .00000001 of a %, LOL. Both are just gorgeous. I just got a JV myself but I'm not wearing it till I can pick up the 312 that is in my AD's vault, currently with my deposit on it.

Damn, i wear the Simona everyday, the OEM JV hasn't even been used yet as i prefer the Simona that much

The dark one looks great though, got it through the accessories corner on paneristi, i wanted something a little darker for certain occassions, it fits very well and looks great on the watch

My honest opinion, the Simona Nubuck is nice and soft, very comfy but not something to wear in warm weather, the OEM JV is another very comfy strap that looks fantastic and can be worn in warmer weather. The other one is a bit of a hit and miss currently, it's nice to wear, but there seems to be a problem with the lining, it seems to crumple, which is causing little overlaps and i'm not happy about that.
