This just arrived yesterday but with the bracelet it is just too heavy. Can someone recommend a navy blue strap to match the dial on this baby?  (with matching stitching, please.) THANKS GUYS!


 I have a fewideas myself that I'd like to run by you. What do you think of these straps?
(1) Hadley Roma Genuine Shark: (waterproof)

(2) Hadley Roma Aviator (Leather):

(3) Di-Modell Imperator:(blue one to the right - waterproof)

1 or 2 thee look good. Really like that shark though. If you could find Eel skin in navy blue that could be cool too. ;)

Have you looked at rubber as a possibility too?

Thanks Skipdawg.
I didn't want to go with rubber cuz it makes my wrist sweat. But that shark does look sharp and they have it on eBay for about $35.00 - not a bad price for genuine shark skin. The HR Aviator is one of their newest styles. It looks like rubber or silicone but is, in fact, leather. It's a little too "out there" for me. I like more traditional designs

Yeah, I might just do that - I like the shark and I like the Imperator - one for sports and one for dress. OK, now to just pay up....

Thanks for the help, guys. I bought two straps today - the navy shark skin pictured in my original post for sports and a Graf "Arizona" Croco-grain matter also in navy blue for business casual. It has 6mm padding and is like the Di-Modell Imperator in design and probably quality too - both German made. It was cheaper than the Imperator, though - $42.53 shipped vs. $54.95 - $69.99. I bought at a great German watch strap website: http://www.watchbandcenter.com. I've bought straps from them before and their prices are good, quality is excellent and shipping and service top notch too.
