Options, options, options…. Left out the black calf which certainly works –

Gray after-market alligator

Brown croco

I have a favorite and a clear second place. Thoughts?

They're all equally ugly. Please list this watch for sale so I can buy it! Have Jenna make you a blue croc with white stitching. Perfecto!

I'll be the first one to be sincere. It's one of my favorite Lings, on one of my favorite bracelets. What a winning combo. Did you just pick it up, or have you had it for a while?

Edit, just to note: :drool:

1. Stainless
2. I agree with Serge. Maybe a blue croco. It's just a question of whether you would wear a blue croc often enough.

I love that watch :drool: .

1st choice will always be on bracelet.
2nd choice is that grey croc - very nice.

I am clearly in the minority here. I love blue dials and brown/tan crocs. The bracelet is really nice, but is a little flashy for me. The grey/blue croc also looks great.

That was a great pick up Tom...love the blue dial and roman numerals.

The gray looks best IMO. The dial brings out some blue in the strap!!

Well I'm totally with you on this one John123. It'd be brown croco all the way if it was mine.

Nice as they are I'm finding polished bracelets a little too bling these days, and I don't think the grey croco goes very well with the dial. The brown looks different enough to be, well... different, but at the same time not too flashy. Also as a previous owner of blue croco, I personally wouldn't advocate that as an option - just not wearble enough IMO - so the brown croco would be my choice.

A couple of my friends own that same crosswind. I love it. Looks great on the straps, too. I've only seen that particular one on a bracelet. Definately tough choices. ;-)
