Not bad...the brown leather kinda goes with the orange-ish index markers.

Tough to see the strap in that pic, but from what I can see I like.

Looks like a fat strap? IMHO don't care for those.

Mmm...pass. I appreciate that it's not your average run-of-the-mill strap, but I'm not fond of that particular look.

I think that watch would look much better on a conventional strap.

I generally don't like non-Rolex leather bands on them. But this is great! I would actually prefer to wear it that way over the original band.

Just stunning!

Not a fan of the thick strap. The color of the strap does go well.

I'm not a fan of the fat strap look, but I think the Milgauss would look good on a regular strap.

I think it looks better on bracelet.
I put a leather strap on my Sub, I didn't like it either.
But when I put a leather strap on my DJ, I thought it looked stunning!

..the watch is fantastic; the strap is great; together ... nope!

Now a high quality tan or brown tapered two piece alligator strap would be IMO superb...
