Hi gmg_3,  I don't have pics to provide but I wear dark brown leather on my 769. Its a De Modell and reasonable for a gold plate version of that model. Black would have been good too. If its a light faced 769 in a stainless case, then you might be surprised by dark brown for a strap. If its an 808, with white on the dial, then why not play with coloured bands. Red carbon fibre anyone? Depends on your taste and if you want to keep it trad or not. |

red carbon and an 808 ..... de gustibus. both models are iconic classics, both work extremely well with brown and tan calf (or period correct but hard to find tan pigskin), croc looks great; black is fine too, of course. some examples:

Looks great. I was thinking of getting black for my 769 (white with black ring) but im now leaning toward another brown/red. What manufactors are you guys using? |

De gustibus non est disputandum, or maybe De gustibus et coloribus... I did say it was a matter of taste.
