The blue is a real attention getter,

Thanks for the compliment.

Bluetiful.

😂 thanks!

And it’s a lot cheaper than buying a new watch. Great strap.

Thank you. So true if one has tired a bit of a watch, instead of selling and replacing it, all that may be required is a new strap. That said I loved this watch

It's an unexpected pairing, but I can easily imagine how

Thank you Emmanuel for all the very nice things you say. You feel the brown strap may be more appropriate. Well you may not be sure😊, but I am sure …

Going “to the beat of your own drummer” is absolutely the way to go! Enjoy! 🤩

This reference is haunting me. Great combo

Thank you and I hope someday it no longer haunts because you will own one😊

what a beautiful watch! And straps of course.

Thank you very much!

Er, yes, indeed. A strap can make a watch look better… or not. 🫣

Very true. And I think many would say a more conservative eg brown or black would be a better match. And I would say to them

🤣👍✌️

I agree with you that it totally changes the character and looks of the watch, in a stunningly beautiful and eye-catching way! Congrats and I think your taste is right on the mark! Brings a rather staid, classic watch into the 2020's!

Thank you very much for the very nice things you say, particularly what you write in the first sentence of your reply, which captures how I feel but far better than I could express it!

Beautiful !!!

Thanks for the nice things you say and very happy to hear about your current path in collecting. For me the colorful straps tend to make “dress watches” appear to be more sporty.

Blue strap looks excellent 🔥

Extremely nice of you to say that!

Hi Patekova, This strap spiced up your watch so well ! At first when I saw the bright blue, I thought that I did not go well with

Thank you Gordon, however, sadly I must correct an error you made😢 You referred to the case as being rose. If only that were true. It would be one of fewer than a handful of RG

Patekova, FYI, I am

I know what you mean about straps!

Thanks! Kinda like a beautiful woman who will look great no matter what the hair style😊

This beauty would look amazing on any strap.

Gary, my watch and I thank you for the compliment 😊

You made the right choice for sure my friend…

Thank you for sharing your kind words, wise viewpoint and best wishes! I look forward to seeing the straps you mention and I always
