5270... change is good?

Or not so much? what do you guys think of the grey strap? Does it work?

Hope to hear some comments.

Thank you Guys. Its another option since my AD had promised me a freebee. He also suggested the blue one. But the black strap is not going anywhere.

The grey looks washed out a bit with the white face IMHO. however if you like it go for it! For me I would grab the blue instead. Beautiful watch.

I will go for the blue strap. Should match well with the moon phase.

I don't think it matters what strap is on that piece. Exceptional

I agree. I'm not looking at the strap, it's merely incidental

Any strap would look good on that watch.

I think it makes it more sporty just in time for summer.

I like it a lot. The gray goes well with the markers. It gives the watch a slightly more casual look compared to the black strap.

I like the subtle gray. But like others have noted, with that phenomenal watch, the strap hardly matters.

Maybe a Dark Blue strap will look even nicer? Dark blue goes very well with Platinum or White Gold.

I like it too, black is very boring. I am even thinking about putting brown strap on my 5970P.
