Snowflake on epsom leather strap.

Hi All, just picked up gs snowflake couple of weeks ago. Dial is mesmerizing and wanted to try springdrive. I’m not crazy about metal bracelets and no quick adjustments in titanium bracelet like my Rolex so ordered navy blue epsom leather strap. See what you guys think? I wish where strap meets Watch was more padded or tuffed but was limited by odd size. 20mm at watch and 16mm at deployant instead of normal 18mm. Pics make band look black but dark navy.

don't know if that's my favorite look for that watch, but that's not saying much since it seems to look amazing on every strap! All in all, looks good!

Love the snowflake. Very versatile with the straps I think about anything looks good with that dial.

I saw the Snowflake at the Miami AD recently during the Watches and Wonders event. Beautiful dial. Incredible workmanship. And the sweep of the second hand is difficult to appreciate until the watch is in hand.

Enjoy the piece (and the strap great).
