Hello,
I am going through a phase of the STRAP!.... yes the bracelet is off and the strap is on.....

Can I please have opinions of the following straps with my 2 favorite chronographs.

AM I CRAZY OR IS THIS JUST A SHORT TERM THING?

I think the straps are great. What's the issue? Are you thinking you want black only?

Hello,
The issue is the fact that the 2 watches in question originally came on a STEEL BRACELET.

I have taken off the original (Factory fitted) bracelet and installed a 3rd party leather strap!

I have kept the STEEL BRACELETS (they are in my safe) .... so I can always change back when wanted.

Photos of these watches on their original steel bracelets:-

Oh gees archie you are killing me. Not only do you have such a fabulous handbag collection..I am in awe over you jewelry and watches!

To be honest, I love the straps so much more than the steel. The blue and yellow really add some pop to the already amazing face.

You can always change back to original once you're over your strap phase

Agree with Jennifer, the straps look great with the watches, I actually prefer straps over bracelet with my own watches

I love the color in the straps. It makes the watches pop!

Those colors look absolutely delicious! Keep them for awhile and when you're tired of them just switch back to the steel bracelets.

I think the straps add a nice pop of color. What kind of skin is the blue strap? And i agree with bRs, when you get tired of the straps, just switch back to the bracelets. By the bye, what kind of camera do you have? The image quality is fantastic!
