Alternative strap options
Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying an aftermarket strap for my 5146g(cream dial). I was looking at ABP's website and playing with the idea of black with blue stitching to go with the text and moon phase; it got me to thinking to ask if any of you guys have any photos of your alternative straps on Patek's to share? Anyone? |

do you know if CF makes truly custom straps or just the custom options from their web site strap maker tool with a finite number of options? Ill probably contact them but just checking if you know.
Basically i want the exact 5524G strap with all the same stitching pattern, just the strap color in grey. They make the Patek strap in the first place right? |

These CF straps look great. Do they make straps for deployant buckles. I understand these straps are a different length.

Like Jorge, I went with the bluish gray strap for mine and really like it. I would personally be a little reluctant to go too sporty with contrast stitching or other funky colors as I primarily wear mine as a dress watch. But I think with the moon phase and and complexity of the face, it can work in a more casual way as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
