Glashütte Original

Glad that you're happy with the outcome, Gavin. Glashütte Original . . .

 

. . . has a penchant for producing models with grey dials, all of which are to my liking.  There's one in my collection . . .     










. . . which is now on its second grey lizard strap.  The strap originally supplied was black alligator, and also too long for comfort.  Rather than source a short black strap from G O, I decided to try a matching color with a geometrically harmonious scale pattern, and not regretted it for a moment since.

If and when the mood strikes, a strapmaker should be able to craft a design that precisely reflects your requirements and preferences.  Obtaining an optimal fit and appearance makes for an enhanced ownership experience, and well worth the expense and effort.

Sorry for the delay in replying, but my grey Karree was locked away in a safe deposit box until yesterday!

Cordially,

Art

Panomaticlunar XL with black strap

 
By: Gavster : June 2nd, 2012-09:08
I purchased a PML XL a few months ago which I am very pleased with. However, like some people, I found the standard strap too long. I asked my AD about getting a shorter grey nubuck strap, but unfortunately Glashutte told the AD that these did not exist. ...

What I did...

was to ask the AD to make one more hole into my PM leather strap. If you really like the nobuk strap this may work. Your PML looks no worse no better with the black strap but way more formal (dressier).

I like the new look.

Love the PML-XL, but I never did warm to the fuzzy grey strap. I much prefer the black that you have installed. The contrast makes the grey dial look more grey, if that makes any sense at all. Roger

I think Glashutte should change the length of their standard straps

Many thanks for the feedback. I guess I was a bit surprised at how much just a change of strap can change the look of a watch. The key thing for me is that the watch is now much more comfortable to wear since the metal part of the deployment clasp is unde...

I prefer the black strap.

My only suggestion would have been for a black strap with contrast dark grey stitchng to go with the dial if that were possible. Regards, Richard. PS Please reveal your AHCI watch on the AHCI forum when the time is right.

Will do

Richard, yes will post pics as soon as it arrives, hopefully not long now. A clue - it has a close link to where I live. Also I agree that some grey stitching would be good - my AD said there wasn't much of a choice from GO, so rather than get a custom ma...

Its only now I've realised that straps are important to the look of a watch...(maybe stating the obvious, but it hadn't been a factor when considering my previous purchases)

Here's a fresh wrist shot . . .

 
By: Dr No : June 7th, 2012-11:46
. . . for context. My take is the grey strap contributes to a sense of aesthetic continuity, while a black strap would accentuate the aesthetic 'weight' of the watch itself. Whether you tend towards a more casual (like myself) or more formal appearance ba...

Great shot...

Such a superb piece.

Hopefully GO brings forth a short length nubuck

I would be interested as well. Welcome to our forum, and great watch!
