Is this blasphemous?

I've been toying around with some straps for my 5146. I find the original Patek strap to be so formal and fragile. Has anyone found a good combo? What do folks think about this?

Lol this might trigger some folks. I think it's fine. Especially if you like it. It's your watch and that's all that matters. Forget the haters.

I know, I don’t mean to be triggering! I have a soft spot for beautiful watches and out of balance straps.

I bought a couple of leather natos to try, only to be put back in the drawer....not really a nato fan. White dial white case can do just about any color, delugs you can do custom stuff for not too crazy pricing, I've been trying different painted sides or underside colors/materials. For my 6007 yellow did a Camille fournet fabric pattern calf on top with a yellow croc underside I really like

Strange :)

At first glance I thought it is an authentic WW trench watch because it looks good in that regard. In this case, the watch and the strap match perfectly.

However, I think this is the feeling I would never want to feel when I have such a beautiful PP on my wrist.

I feel nauseous. Those types of straps detract heavily from a pp. maybe check out Oris or Hamilton?

Is this blasphemous?

If the field watch look is what you’re looking for, then it works. I would personally use a more classic strap for that reference. I owned it at one time and changed the strap to something a bit more casual, but not quite that casual.
As others have said… it’s your watch, if you like it, that’s all it matters!

strap looks nice but contrast between very formal case and very casual strap is too much for me.

Blasphemous? No. Ugly on the classic 5146? Well...

I think rmlovett1 has it about as casual as I'd take it, but it's your watch. Wear what you like.

I like that second strap, the watch is so versatile. So torn between the 5146G and 5320G Cream Dial, decisions decisions....
