Guys, I need some help.

I keep thinking about selling my 253, but then I put it on and I still love the look. I just don't wear it...ever.

I have concluded that I need a new strap to awake the relationship with my 253.

Can anyone post some pics of 253s with strap options or give me some suggestions?

I was thinking more brown/honey than a black, and I am not too fond of that carbon fiber look, but I am open to anything. The rubber just isn't cutting it.

Open to suggestions!

Thanks RWI. (my rep support group)

How about some blue stitching? I like this look...

A carbon fiber strap with black, blue, white, or even red stitching would also look good on this watch.

Hey,

Actually Gunny's leather is not like my A2 at all. Furthermore, my straps are finished and executed to a much higher degree. You be the judge though:

There are not too many straps finished like TooTalls. Especially at these price points.

TT, I stand absolutely corrected for the comparison... In the photos the color looked similar is all.
I must have TT A2 strap on the brain because I get my very first TT strap soon… TooTall is making me an A2 right now and I can hardly wait till it comes in the mail! I plan to put it on my Pam 253 and/or my Pam 195. I will take many photos for all RWI to see the genuine TooTall A2 stichless. :wink:
