They all go well with this watch, Johnny....but I think the very first one in black with the "croc" finish looks superb!!

Thanks JJ, but its alligator not crocodile. Croc is a tighter, rounder series of panels.

Now vote already.

Just checked my panel above. It says I've already voted and there's no way I can vote again!! LOL!

Love the black calf and the tan calf!

Personally I only like croc's and alligators on radiomirs.

Send me one of your Rads and I promise to stop wearing gator with my 01.

colemanitis · 20 July 2006, 05:09 AM

I voted for the black gator. Easy choice IMHO.

Biblebanger · 20 July 2006, 06:35 AM

Love the black Alligator!!!

SLRdude · 20 July 2006, 06:41 AM

The one you haven't bought yet. Always.

I went with the black gator, but I gotta say the black calf is nice too.

GMTIIPilot · 20 July 2006, 09:20 AM

Black Gator, makes me rethink my next watch purchase. Maybe a Pan in my future.

Rockrolex · 20 July 2006, 10:13 AM

Had to go with black gator. Best of breed.

Roverdave · 20 July 2006, 10:25 AM

Love that black calf-gives it that real "industrial" look. My vintage and cracked black leather straps are on the way from Aaron Tan and seeing your BC strap really makes me wish mine were here!

Dave, post some pix when you get them. I've heard a lot of great things about Aaron's straps.

My black calf is a Molina from Steve (Toronto). Really excellent quality leather and is very, very comfortable. The strap is 24-24 (with a screw-in thumbnail) and is 5mm thick all around.

Always good to have you back, Daren. Trust all's well with Andie and the kids. Keep well.

Cheers - JJ

I have to go with the Black Gator, followed by a very close OEM Rubber.
I seem to be keeping these in my regular lineup, however I prefer you black with white stitching better than the black stitching.
On the Rad's, I prefer the brown Gator.

dman · 20 July 2006, 01:33 PM

Tan calf all the way for me pal. I like all of them, but I am just a fan of the historically correct look.

I went with the black gator. I do like the black calf and the rubber also.

20 July 2006, 09:10 PM

Antique brown for me - lovely strap that is, and the blue right behind. I also like the Black Gator.......

20 July 2006, 10:46 PM

Thanks for the responses guys.

Always good for some fun. The black gator is my current fave not only cuz it looks awesome, but it's also incredibly supple too. I'd say the black calf, blue gator and the rubber get about equal wrist time, with the tan calf and the antique brown getting the least love... but I still really like them
