My ultimate 190 strap combo arrived!

The color and the scale.. just phenomenal..







The 26/26 with some padding is a great fit for Rads in general:







The look... great for fall or winter I think!












On the wrist... yeah baby! ABP does give the 190 a nice pop! Hope you enjoyed!

Wow, that really is stunning.
You're right about the combo.
That just oozes class. ABP, that says a lot!

Wow. The ABP looks stunning on the 190. Great pic! Their special tanning gators are the best.

Wow... Looks amazing. So maybe i should let the thought of drkbrown go and get gold instead...

By the way ... ABP ... Kind of difficult to place the order, no? Or is it just me?

Yesterday i went to Panerai and ask about a croc strap ... all are now 300 Euros ...close to 400 USD. ADP is not more expensive ...

Phenomenal is right. Compliments and makes the watch stand out without overpowering it.

The order period is about 2 weeks but always specify the length you want.. other wise, you will get a perfect fitting strap with no tail. Ever since I saw this skin (acw3) on a 203.. I have always wanted one and for me, this scale/color fit a rad better than a luminor.

Sorry, what i meant is, that it is kind of difficult to fill out all those questions online ... Their website is not very user-friendly. IMO.

Got it.

I wrote to ABP directly with Yann Parrin. We just worked out the strap order via email.

Best,

Fred

It's much easier to pick up the phone and speak with ABP... provided you're fluent in French.
