TT 16613 Blue On A Blue Alligator Strap

Flame away purists, going to Nantucket this weekend and needed something summery, but wanted it to be a bit different. I think this fits that!

Negative comment here I'm afraid...cannot see anything attractive about it and for summer would'nt a bracelet be better?

Enjoy your trip...

No worries John, I fully anticipate yours will not be the only thumbs down.

Just wanted something a little different, I'm going to be hanging out with a "yacht-y" crowd so I wanted a splash of color. Couldn't find a NATO I liked with the TT so I went with this.

That's a match, Marc! Enjoy your weekend. Hope it involves some libation from The Commonwealth.

Pity one if those rare and I am sure endangered blue alligators had to die to make that...

However, it's not a bad look actually.

I've read the blue gator eats kitty's and bunny's so we're all well rid of them.

I do too; but it's really not too bad of a look. I think I would like the leather better if it was a shiny leather instead of the flat (that could just be the photo however) and if it had a deployment clasp like on the Rolex leather bands found on the Daytona. My .02 cents.

It is fun to change straps and what not but the glamour of the 16613
comes primarily from the bracelet...

But of course, just wanted a little change of pace is all.

An inexpensive way to change things up a bit, I assume no one will notice and if they do they'll probably say nothing which is what I prefer.

Agreed, but it's also nice to change the glamour sometimes, can't always wear gold

I'd prefer the bracelet but that doesn't look too bad. Have a good time!

I love the look but why would you wear something you couldn't wear into the water if so moved, it's a dive watch after all...

Enjoy

Looks really sharp with that strap and I like the all-blue look. Great for summer indeed.
