 Question you must ask: are you doing a homage to a tool watch that has seen lots of life? or are you doing a homage to a safe queen?

 

The answer to that will tell you if you want "wabi" on your watch & strap or not.

 

Quesion:  take a new "homage" watch.  put it on a beat up strap and what do you have?  a shiny homage watch on a beat up strap.

 

to make the whole piece "harmonious"--age the strap (beat up is what I called it above) & then make the watch look old as well...  sandpaper, a few gouges, use vintage lume, whatever you like.

 

just my opinion of course...
