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?

They do make the OEM strap. Whether or not they will do that I have no idea. Give them a call.

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.
