Simple article, but at least it gives some awareness on the appreciation of horology to the younger folks.  Otherwise I will just keep hearing that an Apple watch can do more and far cheaper. 🙄

Hi bros, nong time no see.  Happy fliday!

Ask a quick question, do you match your watch’s leather strap colour with your belt and shoes?

Like black belt black leather shoes = Watch strap must be black? 
 

brown strap with black leather shoes and black belt tak boleh?

I know it’s a matter of personal preference so I wanna know what you bros opinions are.

kamxia!

For me, I am a bracelet guy, so I don't really do straps.  I feel that bracelets are versatile enough to go with anything.

BUT, my watches must match the event or function that I am attending.  So I use different watches for say leisure travel, business travel, casual meet-ups, formal events and so on.

At least a similar shade.  For eg.   Dark brown with dark brown, medium brown with medium brown.  

[Throttle2]

I have many solid gold Rolex heads, which i pair with Different straps.

mostly exotic skin (croc alligator or lizard) in various colors, med brown, dark brown, dark blue, black, green, grey, red.

quite fun.  Especially for my ex girl friend, to also match her handbag/shoes

😆I only have one leather strap Longines Master (with 4 retrograde) brow, I seldom wear it and only once in a while for office wear. The rest is bracelets and one black rubber strap.

So I do not match anything at all. Wear as I like

[Theoldjaffa]

Thx bros.

cos I’m looking at an entry level watch and it comes with a brown leather strap… but my belt and shoes are all black.

don’t feel like customising a black strap for it also.

so.. look see first ba

When I tried to get a belt same shade as my shoes, I almost gave up as most don’t have that particular shade of aubergine 

 

In the end settled for closest one.
