Blue TT on a Blue Strap?

Hi guys,

So has anybody tried to put a blue strap on a blue TT? I have seen blue kevlar and leather straps with white stitching. Has anybody tried that? If not, is anybody good with PhotoShop?

Thanks!

Actually, I am digging it. I wonder if TT Black sub will look nice on a black strap. For some reason I hate bracelets. SS subs look awesome on NATO straps. I was wondering if anybody has thought of the same for the TT.

It would look much nicer if the blue strap were darker.

The GMT doesn't look terrible, but still not for me.
The TT Blue sub looks like vomit.

I might put a SS sports on a strap but never a TT Sub. Half it's glory is the bracelet

The charm of Bluesy is only amplified by the TT bracelet. Don't amputate it!
