The story is that I viewed some pictures of a Milgauss being worn by a lady with a set of black croco straps during an event made by ABP shop in Paris. I liked the looks of that watch combo so much...
... that it kept haunting my head for some time. A few months after that viewing I had the chance to buy the Milgauss at a local AD and I bought it and the black straps look came to my mind.
When I arrived home I searched my straps box and I found these straps. The stitching was of another color but I tinted them with a green water color pencil. Lol! And I fitted them to my Milgauss right then. Voila! (By coincidence these leather straps were bought in Paris ABP store some years before!)
The Cartiers: though I loved these watches I felt something was needed to replace the dull formal looking straps they came with. I guessed a touch of color would turn them in a less formal timepieces and ordered these straps form the Boutique. I really loved the change for a more casual and sporty look.
Glad you liked these combos! Cheers! Abel.

Very elegant and rakish. I must dress like this sometimes, even in the lockdown. Dressing lifts the spirits.

Superb combos dear Yacomino!
Exploring different straps (colors, materials, textures) can enhance the enjoyment of our watches and totally change the character of a timepiece to fit our personal tastes. The shots presented by the host are elegible too I feel, except in the category y...

Stunning
The Panerai with no logo got me flipping back and back to see it again. This is a piece to revive my jaded mind.
All fantastic but…
Have an especially soft spot for the last picture - and for cashmere straps 😁👍🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
I like a Tropic style strap on a sports watch

Came with brown and black alligator straps from KV. I also ordered this one for the summer months….. ...
Awesome watches and straps Timeout!
I never seen before the Himalaya Croco straps. Very nice and unusual. Also liked so much the blue straps on your Speedy. Great shots! Hagwe! Abel
All the straps came from Genteel Handmade
based in Romania. I started with straps for my Speedmaster and then spoke with them about options for my Lange Annual Calendar as well as the Voutilainen GMT. I wasn’t wearing the Lange in the summer with its brown alligator strap - but the Himalaya croco...

Meditations on green with a bit of funk…
Here are 2 shots of my favorite straps. The first is a lime toad leather strap with gray stitching made for my Reverso Duoface. I dig it with the cobalt blue suit. The second is a dark green over a red leather strap with hand painted and carved out Xa Flo...
You are rocking green my friend! Two very powerful combos.
I knew a PAM can rock green, but I did not expect the reverso to be so cool on green!
The up and coming strap color…
To match the already here dials 😊 Two great combinations 🙌🏻
Thank you so much…
Yours as well…the green strap is killer…I love purist…what a great thing to have in common! ☺️
Thank you so much
I shot it this way because I actually purchased it with the idea of making it a dress watch. 🙏🏻
Yes apparently both sides
are now using Versace as the standard infiltration tux😆…thank you my friend!
Going with silver and grey as a sub-theme of the 'Favourite Combo' theme
Two watches - one modern, one vintage, one on bracelet, one on leather. Despite these ostensible differences, both are similarly time-only, manual-wind watches, my favourite type. The 1st one is a vintage King Seiko 4420-9990 chronometer, combined with a ...
thanks for hosting this weekend's Wristscan, Chronometer!
i hope my submission for this weekend is not getting boring, as it's my vintage Omega Bullhead again i've recently put on a modern Omega Bullhead strap on the watch. here are the photos... thanks for looking, everyone! have a great weekend! ...
Wow more than meets the eye
I thought i spotted a nice combo of different threadings.
That’s cool that the straps fit 👍🏻
And it really changes the personality of the Bullhead 👌🏻
Congrats again to our friend Chronometer for hosting this Wrist Scan session, and for coming up with such a perfect theme --- the best one to see lots of great watches, bracelets, and clothes in one thread! ;-))
I'm not much into straps (and I'm still waiting on my friends at Patek to send me the one I ordered in June for the 5088! ;-)), but here are for you a few combos that I have on file involving some of my favorite gear! Have a great weekend Everyone -- and ...
My dear Fabrizio, thank god we did not make the theme about shoes because we all know you have a killer selection! Outfit clearly qualify here and you certainly show us some spectacular match!
I cant wait to see that Patek on a yellow strap but you sure show us how the full outfit can complement your nice Patek(s) and Rolex(s)! Thanks for joining in the fun this week-end! Chronometer
Wow, in a signature Fab dandy style
Love the etro prints, love the 10 days PAM, and the Kermit. And the Pateks, and most of all, the flamboyance.
