OEM Black Croc

I love the contrast of the brown croc strap with my 88 but decided I needed a black croc strap to dress it up when I'm wearing a suit. What do you guys think. OEM black.

Looks great on your 88 !!

Funny thing, I have a few nice black straps,but rarely use them.I always use the tans,browns and the colours(Red,bues etc.) on the 111.Used to use them on the 104 too,but the 104 now has a love affair with a Panerai bracelet.

Looks great I have a both a black and a brown OEM alligator and like you use the black to dress my 312 up. I've yet to try the brown as I like the look of the black and have other 3rd party brown straps that I like for a more casual look.

I wonder if a black crock would look good on the 292?

The standard issue is a little low rent

I don't know why, but the gator straps look just soooo much nicer than the original calf straps.

Good one!

I believe that "ecru" is the colour of the stiching (greyish-light brown).

My OEM black croc with white/beige stitching always looks sharp with my Panerai.

I love croc skin strap - I wear the brown if I'm semi-casual and if it matches the colour of my shirt..

I wear the dark blue for blue shirts or when I'm wearing dark blue jeans..

I wear my black when I'm suited up, or wearing shirts that doesn't match my dark blue or brown haha..
