I voted Burgundy Croc. That strap and dial just look like they go together really well. The black calf looks good, but leaves me a little blah. I think the bracelet would be a much better contender if it had closed end links that fit snug with the case.

Just my $.02

That's a really tricky one Sharkman,

To give a truly 'unbiased' opinion the pics should all be nearly identical - ideally, they should all be shown with the same shirt and background so that the only change you are seeing is the strap itself IMHO.

Normally, I am a bracelet man however I am starting to like the straps more and more. The watch does look really nice on the bracelet (what you can see of it) but I really liked the burgundy strap (that could be down to the fact that I liked the pic with that very nice shirt too). So there is my very humble opinion

Wow, I didn't mean to stir that one up :oops:

.

I was just remarking on the fact that it's difficult to tell the true difference between the straps. I think the burgundy one is really nice and I do really like that shirt too

and I do really like that shirt too

I have an idea which I like best, but would like to hear your opinions. (Candidly some are camera and other iPhone pics in unequal lighting ) 1. On a Navi Bracelet – 2. On a Black Calf – 3. On a Brown Calf – 4. On a Burgundy Croco –

Just my $.02 I tend to agree about the black calf and the brown is a better look between the two IMO. Normally I'd agree on the bracelet, but for a small wristed dude like me, the drape is nice - gives me an inkling what normal wristed guys experience with a Navi bracelet. Still not saying my choice.

Thanks for your opinion.

Also, it appears that the temperature and relative humidity are way off from picture to picture. Please redo this experiment with less variables.... I love the croc and navi bracelet. Anyway you look at it, that's a keeper!

This is one of my favorite watches. I think it looks best on a calf. I voted black because it makes the subdials pop. I like the brown calf also but in your photos the black looks awesome. I must say, all your combos look great and I like the burgundy calf much more than I thought I would.

Oh, come on guys, this is not a professional photo contest. Tom has spent much of his precious time posting these pics to give us a pretty good picture of most of the options available and I thank him for that. For my part, I would opt for the burgundy. And only because it appears from your pics that it is less red and more brown than it appears on the official site. Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

I think the black calf looks the most natural, but that croco looks really nice. Actually, can I change my vote to croco, that's what I'd pick if I had a choice.
