Red Grape OP39 - Too much purple?

There was a thread earlier last week about the red grape op39. I didn't want to highjack it but I just wanted to share my latest bastardization. It might be a little cringe worthy and definitely not for most people, but I kinda like it. What're your thoughts?

Bit too much for me, but you do you

Certainly not under the radar

I think it could be too much, but if you like it - rock it.

The colors are too similar. A contrasting strap would be my choice.

Worn with the right clothes it would be great. Skin tone would also play a factor IMO

It looks good! I like how similar the colors are.

I wouldn’t wear it personally, but I dig it.
