This brown strap really gives it a IWC feel. Love this Philip.

I like the distressed look you have given the strap. So what's your methodology, Eric?

Hey Pax! I used a cotton ball and some rubbing alcohol. Rubbed away til I achieved the desired effect. Initially wanted to remove the wax-like shine, but decided to also give it a scuffed look as well. Looks vintage as does the watch itself.

Tired of the older strap. New Blue with DIY (fabric marker) yellow stitching.
