Here is my January '69 145.022-69 on a Heuerville Rally strap, with age appropriate 16mm buckle. The strap was originally a tan suede, but a leaky fountain pen made me dye it and wax it, and this is how it looks now. I think it's rather nice, this way. A beautiful strap. I wear it on its original 1171 bracelet in Spring, Fall and Winter, but it's leather all the way in the Summer.
