GMT On Leather.

I just thought I'd try a little experiment with an old strap I had. I originally tried in on my YM but I preferred the brushed strap.

I think I quite like it on the GMT.






What do you think??

I think it goes rather well with either watch.

Looks fantastic on the GMT - great choice. Makes you wonder why Rolex don't sell leather straps similar to Breitling and Omega.
