I understand you’re a well regarded member and have contributed a lot with your in depth reviews, but this is one of several posts where you link your watches that are for sale along with a generic comment and photo.

Respectfully, advertise in the sales section as the forum rules state.

You are right. I apologize.

@jm_brc_7057 oh mate, if only you'd put this up a few weeks ago as I just pulled the trigger on the 5227r and a few others. This exact watch/ strap combo is on my wish list!!

It's sold now. It's a nice combi so i understand you. But it's not over for you yet buddy.

These are the specs of the strap as would be for a 5227r:

Material: Alligator, shiny, square scaled
Color: 024 177 (grey, light)
Buckle: No buckle
Width: 19mm (at the case)/16 mm (buckle)
*Length: 6 o'clock: 110mm, 12 o'clock: 70mm
Fit at the lug: Straight
Form of the tip: Ogive
Holes: Round holes
Profile: Round
Thickness: 3.5mm
Finish: Tone-on-tone waxed edges
**Type of stitching: Hand stitched.
Thread color: Ecru
Type of lining: Chamoisine

*Length depends on your wrist size.
**Hand stitched costs 40 euro extra. You can choose "Machine stitched standard thread" alternatively and avoid paying 40 euro for that.

You'll have to e-mail them to request a custom made strap. And payment can be by paypal. And don't mention reps or anything!

No mate. It’s a yellow gold Vacheron Constantin 34 mm vintage dress watch. It’s on it’s way to me. And I’ll put the same strap on it. Just a round profile instead of the flat I had on the 5296R. Because the 5296 is a flat looking watch it suited better. This one has a shape that is more like the 5227.
I can post some pictures later when it’s paired with the strap.

But here’s a photoshop where I’ve copy pasted it into the strap on the 5296 haha

It is a nice combo indeed.

The rep plated gold might be lighter in color than solid gold and fade over time, so a pair of straps of lighter color does pair well.

Also in generally the rose gold is better for cold skin tones.

Yeah. Gold plated is a bit lighter and not so deep in color as solid gold. No doubt about it.

jm_brc_7057 Congrats she's beautiful, and she'll look even better with the grey strap.

Can I ask you how long you owned the 5296r for and how well the rose gold plating held up?? This will be my first experience with RG, so your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Can‘t believe the magnificence of your taste. I tip my hat - very balanced collection over all and this is just the right addition.

keep them „real“ wrist shots coming hehe ;)

What is the rough price for this bracelet?

Have a nice day.

thickness: 3mm

i paid 350€ for mine.
