I'm in the process of getting a custom made croc strap for my Navi world and wanted to get some input regarding the colour . . .

What do you guys think would look better? A dark brown croc strap or black croc? This would be on a white dial.

Any suggestions on tang or deployment with respect to aesthetics and functionality?

Thanks!

Kevin

Brown croc is very traditional, while the black (while still being traditional) is probably a little more wearable on a daily basis as it goes with everything. Both look absolutely superb with the silver dial Navis.

In terms of clasp, then I'd say deployant every single time for both aesthetics and function. Absolutely no competition in my opinion compared to the standard tang and buckle.

You can get away with virtually anything on a white dial.

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to go with a dark brown almost black croc on deployent. I'll post pics once I get it.

Does anyone happen to know the OEM measurments of the deployment strap?

Good choice.

As said, you can fit almost any color to the white/silver dial and it will still look good. The deployant is much more comfortable in my opinion and also extends the life of the strap - and it looks better too.

The measurements should be 24/20 (24 mm wide at the watch case, 20 mm at the deployant/tang)
