Just my attempt of being crazy and more of a summer color palette. The khaki grey strap is a better daily driver IMHO as it goes well and brings out the grey hue in the tantalum case 😉

Very “eye-catching,” Supreme Jedi...

Maybe not as understated as I would go for, but, hey, why not?

I see your point Ted. The khaki grey nubuck alligator is more for every day. This aged special tanning red nubuck alligator was made to be a fun spring/summer strap for the CB 😁

Thanks Andreas. The weather has been great for the past week and I think it is the time of year where the weather continues to be great, at least in the south of France 😁👍
