Any ideas for straps for my new 359? I have a Z-Matten on order from Micah and am thinking gator or croc.

Also, ran across a two-tone ostrich leg from Kain which I thought might pick up both the indices and the dial. Any thoughts?

Well basically it will look good with almost any kind of brown, tan, dark coloured strap. Or any coloured strap with dark beige/cream stitching to match the lume..

Get something in the same color as the patina!

How about the new Assolutamente?

mfer · 19 June 2011, 10:28 AM

Or a patina'ed JV

Thanks - I was wondering if anyone who owned a 359 had a specific strap they liked.

Last night I wore a pair of linen pants that picked up the patina.

Get the new vintage style strap that comes with all the Boutique Editions...........I believe around $200

jhcam8 · 21 June 2011, 06:21 AM

^ Great idea - thanks!

I have only purchased one so far. It's a Ray strap. It matches the markers -perfectly- but really gives it a different look.

Thanks for tip. Can you tell me a website for the strap? It looks great (your mailbox is full).

I think your initial instinct was correct. I have heard that the Assolutamente is around $300 to order at the AD or the Boutique; which makes sense considering their basic OEM Vintage Calf is around $200.
