Nomos Orion 33 White on D9 Straps

I have been always very fond of the story, quality and style of Nomos. This past summer I decided to add their Orion 33 White to my small collection. I am most delighted with the watch, and I wear it quite often.
I felt that it could be fun to start a strap collection, and so I turned to John, and his Dangerous9straps company of Munich.
I could not be happier with the whole process and results, and so I would like to share few pictures with TRF.
For the first strap we chose Azure Bleu - France Croco Alligator, and smoke grey eel skin for lining.
The second strap John built using dark blue Teju lizard with red eel skin lining.
Because of the required "thinness" of the straps John used kangaroo leather as a mid-layer to provide additional strength, so they are very durable.
Please enjoy with me, and thank you for reading:

Yes, combination of John's skills and Nomos can be "dangerously" great

Nice watch. I like the Nomos line, their designs are clean, simple and slim in profile. I'm conservative by nature, so a black strap is my preference, although my E46 M3 still runs beautifully ! Enjoy yours.

Thank you very much. Black strap on Nomos is so stylish and classy.
E46 is fantastic model, I had many opportunities to drive it. It certainly was an inspiration for me :-)

Beautiful, wear it in good health
I was looking at their Ahoi line and I really like them. Do you have any links on those straps and the clasp?

Thank you Sir and congrats again

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am very much enjoying the watch, Orion 33 is a perfect size for the ladies, and John's straps are treating me very well, too.

Here is the link you requested:

Thank you again, and best wishes

Looks great, I'm still thinking about whether I should go for the 33mm or 35mm.

With my barely 6 inch wrist I had to go with 33 mm, because the watch wears on slightly bigger side.
Good luck with your choice; I am sure you will be happy
