Surprisingly least attractive for me are the black versions; in a way they seem to "drown" the dial, but that is very subjective, of course.

Indeed. Although I like all the different combinations very much, I still prefer OEM black calf or black croco. Straight out of the piston airliner days. Beautiful... Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Ron

I got mine on black croco. Not super original, I know, the brown/gold croco is calling my name for both the navi and the CSO. Here's a quick pic I took today at the office

Tradema straps are offered on ebay, primarily one company from Spain and one from Italy, both ship internationally.

Late to the party, but I am going with Gold Tradema croc. While I do like the gold croc a lot the Tradema has a nice "different" look over what you typically see and it seems to have a nice aged look. Green to change things up from time to time as well.

The new strap looks great Fred. I really like that color combination. My first custom strap is incoming from Stone Creek -- hope to have it by the end of the week. Almost as much fun as, and a lot cheaper than, buying a watch.

Ohhhh Fred these are really nice combinations!

For me, from the pics supplied, the brown calf and gold croc are absolute favorites!

But my favorite strap except for the bracelet which Navitimer-models have the best, is of course the BROWN CROC!! Sweeeeeeeet!
