Very nice. I think the color choices make it work. The red accent is pretty close to the GMT hand. The black and gray compliment the SS really well.

Or the strap works great on the watch. Either way, it's a great combo.

I am not usually a fan of NATO straps. Bracelets have always been my preference. I have to say that strap looks fantastic though! I love it! Colors couldn't have matched more perfectly.

That strap looks great on there! I'm not a big fan of straps like that (prefer steel bands), but the color combination looks awesome.

Exquisite, Jocke! As ever! Is that a service dial and handset I spy in there? I think yours must be the first 1655 I have seen with a service dial — Steven approves!

That watch would work great on a rubber band, or a 80's candy bracelet, or a cheap hair tie. It's like saying that dress would work great on a young Elle McPherson..

Great pic!
