New strap

With the help of Mik I went ahead and managed to find this new Assolutamente 115/75, 24/22.

I think it wears really comfortably better than the calf that came with my 111. The size is the same but this strap seems more supple which somehow lends itself more to a better fit size wise. (I.e. more strap sticks through the floating keeper than the issued calf).

Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy the look of the calf but with my pale, typically English skin complexion this dark brown suits me far better.

Hope you like my photos and I hope this helps other with sizes?

Jon

Good looking strap Jon and I too have that familiar, crappy skin.
My freckles are well faded from the Aussie sun.

The Assolutamente suits the Luminors well, not sure about the Radiomirs.
