Vintage meets Modern....

In theory this should be a super cool combo...






But I am not very happy with the outcome.

The black is better but not really what I had in mind....





Oh, well..... The search for the perfect combo continues!

But I am not overly happy of the feel of the Tropical.... Best Blomman

And I thought you were a Viking. ;) More seriously...

I am not convinced by the Tropic for the Railmaster, but for the Seamaster, no issues... Best, Nicolas

For your eyes only, my friend! ;)

Best Blomman ...  

You have some serious stock, my friend. This 2913/7 is a pure beauty.

. . . that bring out the best in both. Apologies for the poor lighting; this image was taken yesterday at an alehouse* within walking distance of my place yesterday. And no, I had only one, so it wasn't the photographer's fault! :-) * Institution Brewery:...  

Yes, and you have found yours! :)

You have a perfect match, dear Art! :) Me, I am still searching.... Best Blomman

That Cordovan, dark brown, is the strap for this one. Cheers, Nilo

Best so far....

with mine I prefer sticking to its original metal bracelet and to a period original Swiss made rubber tropic strap with inner curved ends. 19mm if I recall properly. I understand why you are trying to experiment with fabric straps. Leather as mentioned by... 

+1, especially on the original tropic strap, curved between the lugs, indeed.

But the bracelet was not bad, either... Even if I prefer the tropic. Best, Nicolas

Thank you for your input, Z!

From a historical perspective, yes, correct. But I don't find the bracelet nor the Tropical comfortable to wear on a daily basis. So, they will have to stay in the box while I search for something more comfortable.... Best Blomman

Here is a suggestion:

Yes, maybe I should try that... Best Blomman
