Del 4,463 Posted December 18, 2012 So I picked up this espresso brown croc leg Orloff strap from "grb" - what a beauty! (The strap that is, I'm not sure about grb. ) Anyway, I put it on the 253i with a deployant to see how it looked - comments welcome!

scubalvr87 0 Posted December 19, 2012 I am very new to this forum. The watch and strap look amazing. May I ask who you purchased each of these from? How would I go about buying one of these for myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tits McGee 7 Posted December 19, 2012 Strap looks awesome although I'm not sure it goes with a 253. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4GTR 0 Posted December 19, 2012 The leg area has some really cool tile patterns to make straps from. Just use a tender touch as the scales on that portion of the hide will lift and can become dog eared & damaged. Not an Orloff design issue, just the nature of that portion of hide.

Del 4,463 Posted December 19, 2012 Is it wrong to be sexually attracted to a watch strap? No, but it's wrong to do something about it. Regarding the watch/strap combo - I think it goes ok on the 253 but perhaps a more dressy PAM would be a better match. Trouble is, I like the gen straps already on my other PAMs so perhaps this means I need to buy a new one for this strap...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Higs 73 Posted December 19, 2012 White faced Not sure.... I like white/cream faced watches - I've got 'white' Steelfish, Ebel and AP - and I like PAMs but I can;t think of a white PAM I like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grb 1 Posted December 19, 2012 Not the same strap but very similar colour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thedoccwc 0 Posted December 19, 2012 That looks delicious. The 253 has been stalking me lately - I think I need to buy one...although the 288 is also craving my attention after I tried one on in an AD a little while back. So many watches, so little money.
