Hmm. I rather like the black strap!
I rather like the black strap that it comes with.

Something about black makes it very timeless; both classic and modern at the same time.
Patek 5000 on a Staib

From the 5000 came a whole Patek model line. Quattro summarized it so well: www.watchprosite.com
Your 5000 has a
clean dial ! Love the different bracelet/strap , especially the Staib ! How does the “”mesh” feel on the wrist ?
Thank you sir
The milanese mesh feels like a fabric strap. I can see why jlc chose this type to update this years reverso. I have tried the thicker staib butterfly mesh which is a completely different feel. That one really a watch feel more substantial/beefy www.wa...
once you see it, you can't unsee it
=) I think the only remedy is to add colour with straps... or even a nato!
