Visit to Avebury for the 857 today. Trying it on a vintage brown strap - autumn vibes - brown, orange etc…. What do we think? Happy halloween if that’s your thing!

Beautiful. The perfect fall watch. I haven't tried a brown strap as of yet but you've convinced me.

If you manage to get to 'the new inn' in Winterbourne Monckton (just down the road) have one for me 🍻

That’s a beauty. Very nice for tramping around the countryside. 📶

Oh, sorry! About the strap: I think the brown leather gives the watch more personality, which makes it even better when you look at the dial. A strap is like a frame around a painting. The strap (or bracelet) defines the space that the watch lives in, to a degree. It can highlight certain aspects of the case or particularly the dial that can redefine your view of the watch.

In this case I think the brown strap offers warmth and reassurance to the firmness of tone - the clear, articulated concision in beautiful symmetry that the dial provides. The combination is very nice. Appreciation from over in my corner!
