grey is a very difficult colour to match without opting for boring black
i think Geo has a grey dialled Star wheel with a grey stingray strap. that might work as it isnt a flat surface so will look different in different lighting as the dial does.
i'm a real strapaholic and think the right strap is almost as important as the watch.
good luck with your search.

some dials make it difficult...
... to find the right strap for the watch... Ever since I got my Senator perpetual with anthracit dial I struggle with this - the OEM light cognac strap with white stitching does not even qualify as a second or third choice, imho. I tried a dark cognac ga...
Henrik, that is a GREAT look.
Yes, as a Paneristi at heart, I am always interested in the right strap, but there are so many choices from really great strap makers that I rarely "struggle" with it. The hunt is half the fun! Best, Jed
Same here...
I enjoyed Panerais and the strap changing habit for many years - nowadays I play that game with my Fifty Fathoms and Air Command Best, Henrik
The dark brown ...
looks very nice to me. I also could imagine a dark grey. Recently I saw a pair of shoes from John Lobb (Paris) which would fit perferct with the dial Oliver ps: And yes, I know/understand this kind of "problems"
Dark brown....
seems to be the best choice.... at least for me Did you consider matte black- anthracite??? Cheers
I thought about it...
... and I tried a matte black with light grey stitching - acceptable, but not quite it ... cheers Henrik
The strap looks great!
The combo looks amazingly nice. Well done...and I think it is more challenge, more fun! Enjoy...
Grey Croc for me
The Brown Croc / Grey dial combo let me a bit perplex... With a grey Croc, you will maybe have more harmony? Best, Nicolas
grey croc
Nicolas, that would have been my first theoretic choice as well, but the dial is a little like a chameleon, depending on light conditions it varies between a darker clear grey and a lighter brownish grey - I had the same issue on a Blancpain with havanna ...
You're right about the impossibility of finding . . .
. . . a strap that looks like this . . . . . . because this shade of grey-green is the result of four years worth of oxidation! It looked much better when it was new; I'm thinking of a slightly darker shade of grey lizard for the replacement. Cordially, A...
This might be a precarious solution...
Hi, Art! Pumpkin soap works wonders for leather goods! Maybe a good cleaning is all your unique strap requires? I have never tried it on exotic leathers, but I assume the result will be quite similar from my experience with calfskin sneakers or casual sho...
I'll give pumpkin soap a shot when I'm ready to send it in for service . . .
. . . if it doesn't work, I'll need to order another strap anyways! Thanks, Alex . . . cordially, Art
Love it... and envy :-)
Love it. The brown really goes with the grey color. And if you are ever tired of it, you may want to try a grey leather strap. Breguet makes these nice leather straps in "sanded" matte finish. May go well too. All the best..!
