I couldn't agree more. I don't like the bracelet at all, but on a strap I think it looks great. What is the lug width? Can you only use curved end straps?

kol · 12 April 2016, 12:19 AM

If I remember right, it's 21.2 mm. Check from the Press Release in Patek's home pages.

Yes, the strap needs to be curved and extra long after the spring bars.

Best, Kari

cervantes · 12 April 2016, 01:45 AM

I could see it on a nato too :-)

kol · 12 April 2016, 02:13 AM

That might be a bit tricky. The idea of the strap is to cover the holes of the case made for the bracelet.

Best, Kari

Lordofrolex · 12 April 2016, 02:13 AM

very nice

martinr · 12 April 2016, 02:20 AM

Looks good with the curved strap to cover the unfinished part of the case. I know I'm in the minority but when I owned that watch I thought the bracelet was good looking also and it was extremely comfortable.

Which strap is that?

Fiery · 12 April 2016, 05:30 AM

IMHO much better than on the bracelet. The 5960/1A bracelet is just too shiny. It makes the watch remind me of Breitlings -- and as much as I love Breitling due to their flight connection, I wouldn't want a Patek to look like a Breitling in any ways.

imcarnuts · 12 April 2016, 07:38 AM

I love it and tomorrow I'm going to see about ordering one. Thanks Kari.

Racerdj · 12 April 2016, 07:42 AM

Looks fantastic!

Had a Breitling on bracelet and the resemblance between both bracelets is striking would say 80-90% don't like it in pics and in real! but the strap masks It really nice! I love the dial and the windows! the kind of 3D thing is very well made, but the bracelet no...

Hairdude1 · 12 April 2016, 12:15 PM

Looks great!

Saw this at AD in Vegas, nice watch.

martinr · 12 April 2016, 01:01 PM

Here it is on bracelet.

GB-man · 12 April 2016, 01:28 PM

Looking smart on that strap!

imcarnuts · 22 August 2016, 03:02 AM

Well it took me a while to get off my butt & order this but did it the other day. Thanks to Sebastien with Camille Fournet in Paris. He is great to work with and made the process very easy. Also want to especially thank Kari for the inspiration. It's great to have somebody go before you. All the work was done and in the file so they just had to duplicate Kari's with a little extra length. I should have it the middle of September. Can't wait. Again thanks Kari and remember "Imitation is the sincerest for of flattery."

Tay821 · 22 August 2016, 07:09 AM

Can you guys post more pics of that beauty on straps? That dial is on point!

Certainly will when I receive it. Have to defer to Kari in the mean time.

Tay821 · 22 August 2016, 12:28 PM

I've seen one with a red white blue nato and it's great. Also think a navy with the red stitching would be amazing...similar to Karis. Thanks for posting...there's not enough of these out there and doesn't get the love it deserves

enjoythemusic · 22 August 2016, 11:39 PM

Looks great on that strap! As i recall it seems to be the same strap as the One Watch auction as i recall a year or two ago.

JorgeCCW · 22 August 2016, 11:59 PM

looking good bro

AckAck · 23 August 2016, 01:30 AM

Nice!

Conant · 23 August 2016, 01:35 AM

That strap just completely changed my mind about that reference. I think that's quickly become my next target.

mikeceee · 23 August 2016, 02:19 AM

I agree with martin in that the bracelet is incredibly comfortable and looks much better in person. That being said, the watch became a true masterpiece when paired with a nice strap.
