strap choice HELP

people! some friendly assistance needed.

I have decided to buy a couple of leather straps for my Grand Seiko SBGM235. I feel like mixing it up a little and as per the pic's it comes with a nice dark blue/navy croc strap on a 3 fold. A second leather strap in white, but that's not a colour I can pull off.

Obviously Blue is the likely match, but I want something different. I will likely grab a grey / dark grey suede strap which I think will look the part, but is there any other colour you guys think will set this GS off.

also any quality strap makers I should consider buying from ? I am happy to pay over the 100 mark for this piece.

thanks

Medium to dark grey for sure. Alternatively I think a dark green leather strap with some texture like alligator or ostrich would work extremely well. I've purchased nicer straps at Strap Tailor and Delugs with success. Good luck!

Since you have spent top dollar on the watch, you should probably not scrimp on the strap. I think that a Royal Blue Ostrich strap would look very, very nice on that watch.

Delugs is worth checking out. They've got a good selection of different leather types and strap styles to choose from. I own a few and can attest to their quality. All of their straps come standard with quick release spring bars too.

I'm sucker for a distressed dark chocolate kinda strap 👌 I think it would go good with this aswell
