Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is doing well!

I recently picked up a vintage tuna (6159-7010) that came with this leather strap (a greg stevens stitchless, i believe). I wasn't really crazy about the look...just something about it...maybe the black shroud and brown leather wasnt a great mix?.. or maybe it was the polished buckle? I'm more of a bracelet kinda guy...

But I've since sent the 6159-7010 for a "spa" treatment and won't see it again for a while....so I threw the strap on a sbbn007 my other tuna and it's beginning to grow on me, I think I like it...maybe it's the matching silver/polish color....



on the 6159-7010....





on the sbbn007...








What do you think? :?  Please be honest.. feedback welcomed

I have this tag heuer with blue leather that got some brutal feedback, lol...what was in thinking when i bought that strap!!! mistake.gif  needless to say, the blue straperoo isn't getting any wrist time...


Thanks!
~Dave

Works for me too. I like that look better than the ones I've seen on the standard rubber. ;)

I like the concept...don't know if I like that particular strap, but everyone's tastes are different.

A nice strap it is, but to me, I just can't wear black dials with brown straps.  It's akin to a brown belt and black shoes...they just don't 'go'.

The look is still growing on me...

-it definitely feels retro.

-and it was the brown and black mismatch/combo that prompt me to start this  post.

Thanks so much for the feedback, I think I should've did a yeh or neh "poll" on this one :)

Best  to all,
~Dave
