If I have learned anything from decades of watch collecting, it is this…. A change of strap can almost totally change the aesthetics of a watch and can drastically
change one’s appreciation of and joy from wearing a watch. Now don’t get me wrong I loved this watch dearly before changing the strap, but I was never thrilled with the prior brown strap. It suited the character of the watch perfectly, but I found it to b...
It's an unexpected pairing, but I can easily imagine how
it made the watch shine and become even more appealing than it is naturally. Because of my conservative taste, on photos, the brown strap still seems more appropriate to me, but of course that's just a feeling based on photos and with absolutely no experi...
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 …
sure that you are 100% right. It absolutely is more appropriate. I however tend to “go to the beat of my own drummer” and that drummer has sent me in a different direction😂
Beautiful !!!
Fantastic combo ! I was a sport watch / bracelet kind of watch collector. Until I stated buying more “classic” pieces and started getting bolder with strap selections and found a new love and appreciation in watch collecting. Now I’m all in on straps…lol ...
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.
Perhaps that is part of the appeal of these straps for you?
Blue strap looks excellent 🔥
On a watch that would look great with pretty much anything 👌
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
rose case but then when I saw the yellow stitiching, the whole package was a WOW for me ! Keep it up !
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
3448s and worth however many millions $. Perhaps you can use your great powers as our esteemed moderator to make the case magically turn from yellow to rose 😂
You made the right choice for sure my friend…
…since you were not enthusiastic with the classic brown one and you seem quite excited with this one. This watch is a pure marvel (that’s why I call it my “Wonder Watch” 😉) and the strap is only an accessory to enhance the beauty of the watch itself. But ...
Thank you for sharing your kind words, wise viewpoint and best wishes! I look forward to seeing the straps you mention and I always
enjoy see watches from your well curated collection!
