RO Rose Gold With Black Strap

As many of you know I have just taken delivery of a 39mm RG Skeleton with standard brown croc strap. Does anyone have any photos of it, or indeed other RG Royal Oaks, with a black strap please?

Mine is on a chocolate strap that looks almost black some of the time, these pics will give you some idea I hope.

Thanks guys! I agree on the brown strap but my other half doesn't!

As an aside! One of the photos there is very interesting, it's a RG Grand Prix model with the platinum model face, retaining the RG hands - I think it looks very good!

I think the brown that comes on the RG Skeleton is a bit to pale looking, I sold one to a good friend who opted for a darker brown strap found on the RG Perpetual 26252 which has a bit of a different texture and darker in the flesh. He loves it!
