Loving the look of a black croc strap

Bought a cheap knock off to see how I would like it and love the look with the black face. And yes I have the end links on order defiantly needs those to look finished

If you can find a custom strap maker doing rally style straps + has access to black croc skins, then I think you'd be even more pleased. This image is a poor example, but you'll get the general idea...

He is very good with leather. I have a rally in smooth water resistant leather by them.

Looks great! Or even try a curved end strap. I actually prefer that over the endlinks because it maintains a circular look to the bezel/case.

Looks good to me as well. I like the way that it really makes the numerals around the bezel standout.

Looks good!

Do without the end links. It looks best as-is.
