Turning into a PANattic - Ti strap decision

[vantri]

Hi all;
After about a year of Sub and GMT II addiction I've come over to the PAM club with my 177H scheduled to arrive Monday. Actually, I ordered an 036 Tobacco for a buddy who doesn't care which he gets. Maybe once I open the package I'll change this post to reflect my decision to opt for the 036.

Anyway, I need help deciding on a strap for a Ti. As the watch is Titanium, I am wondering if a complimenting dull leather (ie suede, brushed, vintage, or oiled) would look better than a contrasting glosssy croc/lizzard strap.

I got dizzy looking at all the choices at Panatime http://www.panatime.com/24mm.html so I thought I'd toss it out for the pros.

I know there are $100.00 + straps out there that are incredible, but some of these are darn nice and I could buy two!!

Thanks for the opinions.

I would vote the Oxblood calf for the 177 and a dark brown calf (vintage or not, your choice) for the 036.

I've seen the Oxblood calf from Panatime in person and it is really quite nice.

The oxblood +1

I have an HK tan which I like a lot for the 177H

Very nice HK Jurg!! It'd be cool to have straps made from baseball mit leather. I have a LV Slugger mit that has the same shade of brown as this HK.
