Montblanc

MB orbis terrarum with alternative straps

I just tried 2 alternative straps instead of the metal bracelet.

What do you think about these 2:

First: brown strap with red stoppers

second: Navy blue alligator strap

I think both could fit, don't they?

Any other combination idea?

Cheers,

Patrickh

I would love the first one, without stitching, but in navy blue. [nt]

I find brown a bit disturbing with a blue dial, to tell all. [nt]

Looks really nice with a navy blue strap!

That is a good idea. I think I will order a custom navy blue strap from Montblanc too I should be getting my own Orbis Terrarum next week or so! Soon we can do a roll call. Glad to see you loving yours so far. Cheers robin

The moving day/night sub disc is just eye catching. I love mine ++++

very visual and useful complication and I am quite sure, Robin, you will also enjoy yours on a custom navy blue strap (+/- bracelet ;-))). Cheers, patrickh

I can't wait Patrickh!!

I really can\'t wait!!!! Been waiting since May Thank you and I will join you very soon Cheers Robin

Well, this is a very personal opinion you're asking for :)

By: Mark in Paris : October 19th, 2015-10:06

Personally, I'm not really fan of dark or middle brown straps because of the old looking impression, and I don't feel the brown goes with the dial's 2 kinds of blue, but this is just me. So, the first one is not my thing, even if the "stopper" is a nice i...

Thanks Mark for your detailed answers

These straps were in my box, and then, thoughts for the real one dedicated to this MB. I did not like the original MB black strap. The blue strap is of course the most conventional and classical combination. I already have blue straps with grey stitches a...

blue !

I'd opt for a mat navy blue croc or even a dark grey with blue stitching / or light grey stitching ....

Good point P@trick. A Mat Navy Blue strap, with slight thickness without stiches could be my choice.

It will fit nice with the night blue sub dial color. patrickh

Love the blue croc

By: Mike H : October 19th, 2015-13:47

It looks just great imho. I look forward to seeing it soon. Best, Mike

Hello Mike

By: patrickh : October 19th, 2015-14:10

my pleasure to see you soon too. Cheers, Patrickh

I vote for the blue...

By: patrick_y : October 26th, 2015-09:53

I vote for the blue with stitching. That'll look good. Maybe a matte finish instead of a glossy one though.

Blue matte finish, I agree.

By: patrickh : October 26th, 2015-09:58

Stiches or not, that is the question? Thanks Patrick_y Cheers, Patrickh

Second one without any doubt but with a matte finish

By: foversta : November 8th, 2015-01:31

First one is a bit too flat due to the case. Moreover, the color doesn't work with the watch. Matte (and not glossy) navy blue offers a great combo with the dial. Fx
