like them both a lot, Rene, the honey ostrich is a great fit for the Datora, perfect.

the brown croc is great, have the same one on my wrist today, very comfortable, supple, like the soft leather lining, the perfect "vintage croc", honey is on its way, will post pics.

Both look very good, Rene. Don't usually picture that navi with a brown strap, but I have to say the croc is just right.

- insert drool icon here -

Beautiful, Fred. Thank you for sharing. The lighter tan croc/Chronomat combo is to die for! Hopefully I'll have a Navitimer in my future; and when it happens, I see a nice horned back gator on it. Probably black, but seeing the really dark brown is making we wonder.

I do like them as well Fred and great examples you have there, they seem to bring out the watch without drawing too much attention to the strap, and they have that vintage look as well

none as "grailish" as what Rene is showing here w/ the very early V72 Navi; between the two of us we might have quite the little Museum :)

maybe more (and definitely less questionable) than some other Museums ....

You could put a rubber band on an 806 and it'll still look good... Very nice both of you
