Junghans on honey strap?

Took a bit of a gamble - put a honey-colored Hirsch camelgrain strap on the recently arrived 1930's Junghans. Originally planned for a dark brown alligatorgrain strap, but my other leather straps are either black or dark brown so I thought to liven up things a bit. What do you think, good call or should've stuck to the original plan (or something else entirely - pls note it must fit a fixed bar watch)?

(not this insecure with watches proper - but find strap/watch combinations challenging :-))

Cheers! I am liking it more and more the longer I wear ir (never had a strap this light / quite conservative in leather strap choice)

Thank you! Scratched the itch of a Tank/Reverso type watch for a fraction of the cost 😃

That Junghans is amazing! So classic and full of character from its clear use over the years!

Looks awesome in that strap- wear in good health!

Thx! Can't wait to get some patina on that strap as wel :)

Pure class! 👏👏

This is absolute money with similar color strap. Makes the hour track and steel pop a bit.

·

I’d rock that

·

It's not a good call; it's a GREAT call. Class personified

·

Nice find my friend,case shape and dial configuration along with the unusual colours 👌set this off stands out from other tanks,special 🔥

Cheers m8. That was indeed the gamble - a strap with similar colour could also go horribly wrong :) But sentiments are very positive so far and I’m more and more convinced it does work 💪🏻

Great call. Beautiful dial and strap combination.

·

Nice choice, looks very nice, elegant and not borrying

·

Oh, that’s the right choice. Well done.

·

It looks awesome. I put black leather strap on my Casio a158w and it looks nice to me

Love the honey coloured strap and a stunning watch in general! 💪
