Hello guys,


Not too long ago I purchased a Hublot King Power 4000M Oceanographic and wanted a leather strap with stitching to match the green lume. In order to do so I had to sacrifice the secondary diver strap that came with the watch. Anyway here's the pictures of before and after. (First picture courtesy of KIH)

Looks great, I'm not a big fan of rubber straps on high end watches. Enjoy

I like it too much as was so don't think I'd be a fan of any change, but I don't see that as a negative.

Hi Boogie,


The watch is about 19mm thick. Gbuerg I agree it would be cool if it glowed green as well. However in normal conditions it does look that way. TimeBandit when I get bored I just switch it out with the diver. The quick strap change system is really convenient.
