Hello all!

I recently purchased a black navi world on brown croco and love everything about the watch except one thing...

I see on the forum pics and discussion there is a brown 740P (that is lighter than my 757P and darker than gold). I never knew this information before I purchased, I just asked for brown croco.

My question is when you ask for brown croco, can you demand different shades of brown? or they only sell 757P ATM?

I still think 757P color is great now, but in a couple of years it'll be too dark to appreciate.

Thanks in advance guys!

When you buy a watch new you can ask for any colour strap you like from the range. All croco straps cost the same so there's no additional outlay.

So that means I could have asked for 740P Brown Croco? (this is the lighter brown i prefer)

Because the store didn't even ask me "from what range of brown would you like?"

Correct. Many sales people will assume that buyers know that straps / bracelets can be swapped and won't offer the choice - I guess it must be too much work for them to offer :roll:

@ MR_ASTON_MARTIN :uselesspics:

Not the straps. How about pics of your Aston? :drool:

And, of course, :welcome:

Back OT, get yourself a couple of alternative straps as it's nice to change over every now and then.

And saves your main strap from wearing out so quickly.
