James it's a great looking watch. I like how the strap highlights the dial's pop of orange

I like it James. 👌. The orange stitching pairs well with the orange seconds hand👍

Great watch and strap combo.

Love that watch James! Is that an Elgin?

Thanks Doug. I thought the orange on the strap would do. I'm starting to warm to the strap. It's nice to get some other opinions. 😃

Thanks Ritchie!

Thank you Luke

Thanks John. Yes it is a Lord Elgin from the 70's I was told.

Thanks, Bill

Very nice. I have my grandmother's 1926 Elgin Art Deco watch.

It looks great James. A strap like this is a fun match that works certain days, and situations.

On other days a different strap is the choice. What's not to like about orange! 😎🍊🍊

It's a lovely watch and undoubtedly the strap matches brilliantly. If you're like me straps can look a little narrow with 'turtlesque' shaped cases and to me that's the only negative. My answer has been to purchase a strap with a wider lug width and carefully cut notches to match the watch's lug width. Usually successful, but not always! It helps that I never buy too expensive straps so to me it's worth the gamble.

I hope you are becoming more happy your choice. 👍🤝

Really great dial/hand color set up, looks fantastic!

Wow, that's beautiful!

Thanks, Al. They did a fantastic job. 😃

I think the strap fits in with the overall theme of the watch, James. But more importantly if you like it, that's all that matters my friend. Enjoy the hell out of it. It looks amazing 🤓

That’s a super piece James!

I like the strap as it accentuates the orange in the dial with the corresponding stitching however…….. brace yourself a bright orange strap would be knockout! 👏🏻👏🏻

Very cool case design. The strap works - colour coordination is there but it also lets the watch shine.

Thanks for your thoughts John. You are right, the main thing is I like it. 👍

Thanks Andy. I might have to work up to a bright orange strap. 😳

Thanks Trevor. You are right. 😀

The orange ring agains the dark dial and silver markers makes this watch look so cool! Beautiful James!

They are made for each other, James.

Thank you Alfredo

Thanks, Ming

Looks great, love that dial!

Maybe try a suede orange strap - that would look fantastic and the material seems period correct!👌

Thanks Willard. I may do that in the future.

For God's sake, we need this brand back to life. Someone, please buy the rights from the current owners and make America horology great again. 😂🤣
