Cool info - strap looks sweet!

Love the watch too!

Grey works well and leather classes it up real nice. Black hornback looks good too but my fav with RG is brown.

We've had some sunshine in the UK, so you've got no excuse to post more pics of this watch, now!

I thought this was the best strap I'd seen on this piece until I saw Ash's:

Ash's combo is cool, but this hornback option is awesome...

For my taste the black hornback with gold stitching is too much. The gold stitching advertises even more the fact that this is a gold watch, thats not for me. The whole reason why the grey strap works for me is that it pulls out the grey dial more and makes the watch look more casual.



I never was a big fan of the rubber either as I found that it went shiny quickly, fortunately the bezel hasn't.
