Match the strap to lume... I'm not the only one, right?
Last time I showed a strap pairing to match the Berlac Fluor Orange of my Fortis Flieger F-39. This time, I wanted to try and match the other accent color of the applied Brixtrack lume blocks which has a bright or light greenish tint to them. As such, I bought another Erika's Original MN Strap in the Mirage (grey) color with "Lume Green" centerline., per custom made to order as usual. It's not a 100% perfect match, but I'd say a respectable 98% close enough match for me. Digging it and glad I went with this combination. I wanted to do it in the Black Ops color, but they don't have in 21mm.
And, no, the centerline doesn't actually glow in the dark. Erika does have a glow in the dark centerline option and I owned one once before. But, it looks more white in normal daytime than light greenish as this one does. I wanted the light greenish color to match as I see it in the daytime so this is how I went with it.
I couldn't seem to reply or add a comment to the Welcome post. So, I'll just do it here. Name is Wing. Just a simple watch enthusiast just like the rest of you here, I imagine. Figure I'd drop first w...
My Brew 8-bit has a custom Erika's Original Strap that I set to match all the colors I could, so I get it!
Yes I agree…
Really into that combination you've got... and of course the watch is stunning.

Man that Flieger looks Sic and as Morgan said fantastic snaps on show
Love that bezel!
Love that dip of the bezel. Sweetness right there.

Ooh, can you post a shot of that combination? I also have (and love) the Brew 8-bit, but I've never thought of changing the strap from the pretty-damn-good stock leather strap.

Nice match there with the nato really looks good! I have the F41 version and may look into getting that strap as well. Thanks for sharing that. Cheers
Thanks & thanks!

If you could feel the bezel action.. it's super crisp and precise.

I do like that look a lot, too. I haven't had a concave bezel in quite a long time. The last one maybe around 10 years ago. Reference Vostok-Europe Ekranoplan Caspian Sea Monster Watch 2432.01/5455107 if you want to see. Pretty cool looking watch, but, that was when I was into larger watches. But, it had a cool concave bezel, also.

Thanks. Check out my previous post if u haven't seen it already where I matched the orange instead. I thought that worked pretty well, also.
That, right there, is super cool! 😍
How's this? Lumed strap 😎
This is a lovely combination, I try to match at least on or more of the dial colours with the strap if possible.
