I have been wanting this color strap for a while and luckily found it at my local AD. What color would you say it is?

I gather from my interests that I favor alligator straps over vintage leathers.

I love OEM straps, just wish they were 120/75.

Renoir · 27 January 2010, 02:41 AM

Great looking strap!!

I agree on OEM, I love their straps! They do sell XL length straps...

Enjoy!

CorruptedSanity · 27 January 2010, 02:47 AM

Thanks Renato!

The XL come in 135/95 I think and the 95 (strap part that has the buckle) is too long. It goes past the middle of my wrist and up towards the case. Not at all comfortable. Ideally 130/80 would be perfect for my 7.25 inch wrists.

Joey_V · 27 January 2010, 03:06 AM

Looks real nice man.... fantastic choice. I love the OEMs... I need me some more crocs.

republik-of-mancunia · 27 January 2010, 03:22 AM

Gorgeous strap - congrats.

As for colour, chestnut maybe? Not sure though, because I'm colour blind! It could be bright red for all I know!

A1000 · 27 January 2010, 03:40 AM

Saif, looks great. There's definitely something classy about the OEM straps. I have the antique brown for my 312 but have yet to use it. Your strap looks great in the sun, someting that I rarely see my watches in at this time of year!

CorruptedSanity · 27 January 2010, 04:25 AM

Mancunia, you know your colors for someone. Who is color blind haha. Chestnut sounds right.

Adrian, that antique strap sounds nice. Let's see a pic soon. I guess its nice that its always sunny here but we rarely see any rain.

ersnyder · 27 January 2010, 04:42 AM

Great looking strap! I'd call it brown croc.

ocwatching · 27 January 2010, 06:02 AM

honey brown croc..nice Saif
you are going strap crazy...any you want to send my way that you ain't using? j/k

beautiful shots...

B. Doggy · 27 January 2010, 07:05 AM

WOW! I needs to get me one of those!!

HL65 · 27 January 2010, 09:03 AM

Very nice!!

rfknauss · 27 January 2010, 09:15 AM

Saif, that strap is a beauty!

Psmith · 27 January 2010, 11:59 AM

That looks great Saif, and nice pics too

Cheers

R1@160@alltimes · 27 January 2010, 12:17 PM

great combo...enjoy

cars4life · 27 January 2010, 12:32 PM

I have the same feeling Saif. OEM crocs are the best there is IMO. Nice combo.

[QUOTE=SaifAlSuwaidi;1602284]I have been wanting this color strap for a while and luckily found it at my local AD. What color would you say it is?

The official name is "Alligator Gold Semimat TEC" from the OP website.

Great color and pics Saif.

Which other "brown" croc color do you have? Can you post some of those for comparison?

Cheers.

rr-nyc · 27 January 2010, 12:52 PM

I love the OEM gator straps

jvo300 · 27 January 2010, 01:20 PM

Very nice!!!

I prefer the OEM straps. In fact, I only have one non-OEM strap .... an ABP. ABP special tanning crocs are also things of beauty!

inspires · 27 January 2010, 01:22 PM

Matches your Porsche's interior

CorruptedSanity · 27 January 2010, 03:57 PM

Thanks guys!

Phil, if you can show this strap some love its your. 24/24 130/80 I think or so. Its not the brown I wanted(like). My ride is scheduled to arrive some time between May & June. Its a long wait but thats how it goes with such manufacturers.

bcacncnc, I have a couple of browns. The one in this thread (OEM), and the one I linked to Phil in the text above this and a honey brown found here (click me).

Jackson, im dying for an ABP strap. They look so well created.

Eric, well it matches this rental Porsche interior. Wouldnt match my Porsche interior as much haha.

Trurolexer · 27 January 2010, 05:22 PM

Great Combo!!! Love the OEM.

CorruptedSanity · 27 January 2010, 05:27 PM

thanks Heru.

Joey_V · 28 January 2010, 12:25 AM

Probably the fifth time I visited this thread... I want a croc for my next oem strap.

CorruptedSanity · 28 January 2010, 06:03 AM

I highly recommend OEM straps Joey. A little more expensive than 3rd party but defnitely no errors and complete quality.

Shade · 28 January 2010, 11:42 AM

That's exactly the same colour that I have. I loved it! :D

I agree man... love the OEMs. I got 2 leathers so far. Going to try to make it 3 soon.

Rolex Freak · 28 January 2010, 01:57 PM

Amazing how a different colour strap can make the watch look so different. I did the same. Purchased a honey brown alligator strap for my 312. Looks great!!!

CorruptedSanity · 30 January 2010, 07:11 PM

The strap color and dial really make the watch looks different.

Nica64 · 31 January 2010, 04:19 AM

Beautiful strap!!
