Happy New Year to all. To kick off the New Year I bought a new strap for my LV. It's a 22/20mm but it was such a good deal on TC Straps that I couldn't pass it up. Here are a few photos.

cheers

Ugh!!! Not my taste, but to each is own.

Whoops, not a compliment to that fine timepiece.

Sorry.

Looks like you took your belt buckle off your belt.

Sorry but looks better on bracelet or a NATO IMO.

Jocke · 2 January 2008, 07:09 AM

In my opinion a Panerai wannabe.

Sorry just my 2 cents.

If you like it it´s good to me, I have watches that people hate.

Happy new year.

ok cool...now lets get that bracelet back on for the remainder of the year

Welshwatchman · 2 January 2008, 07:16 AM

Nice strap !

It doesn't show the watch off to its best effect though, IMO.

Now an olive green Nato with that lovely LV.

GoldenBear · 2 January 2008, 07:16 AM

Ouch. Sorry, time to go on the make-over show.

waeleldasher · 2 January 2008, 07:19 AM

I need color with my Rolex...but not a big (no pun intended) Panerai fan...except the Radiomir. I tend to wear shades of green and brown, so it matches nicely. I can't help tinkering...I am a designer darn it!

cheers

Looks like your dog wants it back.

To each his own for sure.....

Sorry, not a fan of that combo

mlb · 2 January 2008, 08:06 AM

I like it!

waeleldasher · 2 January 2008, 11:13 AM

Well, my wife says she thinks the LV looks better in this strap.

Maybe I should listen to her

cheers

I'd have to agree with this.

The strap isn't so much the problem as that buckle. The leather is nice, and I daresay it goes well with the green bezel of the LV. That huge buckle though... man.

Lol! That buckle is huge. Not my cup of tea.

Transient · 2 January 2008, 04:00 PM

I definately prefer the SS bracelet...

cbsmohai · 2 January 2008, 04:24 PM

I like the color of brown in the first pic. Subs look great on leather straps, but tbch that buckle just too damn big.

vman · 2 January 2008, 04:48 PM

Love the strap and hate the buckle.

For the cost of a Rolex watch, we should get a bracelet + a choice of straps. No offense, but I'd rather have a strap than a scratched up bracelet. There is nothing wrong with NATO straps and nice leather bracelets. I saw a guy wearing a Pepsi GMT with a blue leather strap that matched the color of the watch. That was freaking awesome!

I would keep looking for a strap. The buckle destroys the looks and it does not match geometry of the watch. It is not rugged enough and the shape on the end does not fit the shape of the watch. Sorry, just my opinion.

JJ Irani · 2 January 2008, 05:21 PM

Sprry guys, but anything other than the original Oyster Fliplock bracelet on that green bezel/black dial combo.....looks terrible!!

Well, I don't think it looks outright "terrible", but I for my part never would use non original straps or bracelets on my Rolex watches.

But if it floats your boat, our opinions are not really relevant.
