New strap for my 1680/8

Got a new strap, can actually wear the watch now, it originally came with a blue croc strap sized for 6" wrist max i believe.

New one is a lapis shiny alligator strap from strappedfortime
Have to inquire about getting some gold strap end links made and this watch will be one of a kind!

Great watch but the strap looks a bit too blue for my taste,maybe a darker blue would have pulled off the look better:), just my take but if it makes you happy nothing else matters.

If I'm honest, I think the blue looks a bit too bright. Also, is the dial black? If so, a blue strap and bezel insert seems like an odd choice. IMHO, black, gold, and blue do not match well.
