What a beautiful and classy looking Minerva Chronograph

 

Both straps work and look great but I much prefer the grey strap as that is possibly my favourite colour for both straps and dials. Another vote for Molequin straps as they are super soft and wearable straight out of the box also well made and reasonably priced for what you get.

Some new straps for my Minerva AVUS II

Friends, Trying out some new straps for my Minerva AVUS II with a Valjoux 71 calibre and had a few minutes to snap some pics. Next week, some Horween straps arrive. ☺️ I predominantly collect NEO-vintage (circa 1990-2010) pieces these days. A magical tran...  

Lovely new strap combinations 🙌🏻👌🏻

Will post pics as always. 🫶🏼

This is not a small watch so the strap also need to be holstered or thicker than what I usually go for. These two fit the bill. But still quite stiff. Will take time to soften.

Strap stiffness is one of the largest downsides for me…

And some strap makers manage a lot better to make straps that are wearable from the get go 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

Cool straps and watch Marc

Have you tried straps from Molequin? They are tops in that price range! Dont see many watches in sterling silver case. How often do you clean to prevent oxidation?

Thanks Jess 🫶🏼

I’ll check out Molequin … as long as no moles were used. I like moles. ☺️ So far no issues with tarnishing/oxidation from the sterling silver case. I use an anti-tarnish jewelry spray which seems to do the trick. 🤝

Lovely

I like the grey as well. IMHO, It’s actually fairly difficult to find nice leather straps with the “right” tone of grey. Thanks, I checking molequin. Just need to keep in mind that it get warm and humid in Singapore. 🤝
