the strap addiction only grows stronger after getting this one in the mail.

since the budget doesn't allow for a Hulk these days, i went hunting for a dark green croc to satisfy the need for green.

realized i wasn't up for anything too formal, so, when i came across the baby hornback style from teddy su, i went for it. went with the matching green stitching to both let the hornback look stand out and to match with the green lume on the 164.

the quality is top-notch and i'm quite happy with the result. casual while being interesting and subtle enough to dress up for work.

another thing i'm liking is how the vertical lines of the baby hornback play off the angles of the case. i hadn't thought to look for that until mik mentioned that in the mesh bracelet thread. thanks, mik!

great experience ordering from teddy su, too. always quick to answer questions and got the ready-made strap in about a week.

here are a few shots in sunlight and natural light.....

thanks for looking.

Nice!!

Thanks for the kind words.

The bright sun tends to lighten the look, as, in most situations, it wears a bit darker.

Glad I took a bit of a risk (for me) ordering it, as I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
