Congrats on the 000.
I would recommend Toshi straps too. Some of Toshi straps are soft and very comfortable on the wrist

HUGE CONGRATS.. may you find joy in the zero and all the strap combination you will discover in time.. such a clean and classic piece.

Best,

Great choice, take a look at the brown or black aligator straps with white stitching, really enhances the beauty of the watch if you want to dress it up. Good luck..

just let go of my base to help fund my next acquisition. it's a gorgeous piece! I'll miss the simplicity of my 000. at least I have my 312 to console me.

Can you tell I'm conflicted?

Same thing might happen with your hometime! Don't think I didn't see it. But with my recent wife present and the upcoming 372.....ugh. I really need to win the lotto.
