So I wanted to give the original black ostrich Minerva some rest. It’s been humid here.

The journey continues with something different. I don’t believe I have seen a Minerva on a rubber strap before.

Could this be a first ? πŸ˜„

I don’t mind if they would like to send me one to test and review though. πŸ˜ƒ This one I’m wearing is silicone so it’s very soft. 🀝

I spoke to the seller about it and they are sending me a new one. Sharp eyes you have. Looks pretty good otherwise yeah? Seems to give the watch a nice sporty feel. 🀝

Especially like the brushed look of the silver. Gives it class and warmth.
