The difference a good strap can make! (pics inside)

Recommended Posts

Some time ago I got a WONDERFUL Chopard by our mate Corsa, and it came with the rep gen-like rubber strap.

This one (pics of gen one)

Well, that rubber strap is indeed horrible in my view and makes the otherwise wonderful watch head to lose a lot of appeal.

 

So I asked the forum for suggestions and ended up asking Andrea (MartuStraps) to create something for me based on the look of Chavezzito's strap but in ostrich instead of crocodile.

She did it (for a fair price of around 50$ shipped) and...

 

Well this is the (stunning in my view) result:

Thanks Corsa, Chavezzito, Andrea and the other guys that helped me to obtain this keeper :)

Then I have to thank you too :) Yours is truly amazing but for the type of the watch (and my budget...) I preferred something more sporty and less expensive than the croc ;)

Wow. I'm speechless. It truly is beautiful. That combination has jumped up in my 'to buy' list.

Did you install the 'Chopard' buckle yourself, or sent it to Martu, etc.?

Looks amazing btw.
