Mixed Strap Colors - The Dual Look
Last summer I have tried something fun, that is not everyone‘s cup of tea. The idea is very easy. Take a watch and match it with two different strap colors at the same time. You can see here my Citizen in green / white that matches with the bezel ring and my Tissot PR100, that has a versatile dial color and matches with a lot of different straps.
My question to you: am I the only guy who does this? I hope not! What are your creations??

I've never seen it before and I've never thought of it. I can see how this could be a fun summer look!
Please refrain from such behaviour. Looking at this has my OCD working over time and I can't function. You'll be wearing watches on your right wrist next 🤯
There's a good reason we don't see anyone else doing it 😂😂
But if it brightens up your day even a little bit then go for it. Wouldn't do it myself, but it would make me smile if I saw someone else. 👍🏻
I once undressed my Casioak...
It works surprisingly well. 👌
My Silberstain has two different color leather straps! I love quirky.
OK, that's different! Never thought about doing so. 👍
Super cool!😎 I have mixed it up before and get tons of compliments! So much fun can be had with straps! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Take it a step further!
I had a strap from bulang & sons with itentionally two colours. They sold it that way in brown and taupe
we used to do this in the 80's with Swatch... We didn't buy straps we just traded 1/2 with a friend.. then each of us would have this set-up...

The Swatch Golden Era. I was probably too young for this. But changing straps sometimes feels like having a new watch. 💪

As long as the colors match to each other and both colors match with the watch itself, it becomes a very special watch.

Wow now thats crazy. Looks like that VW Polo 😀

Indeed you recognize the difference the second you have changed the straps!

Very nice and I love the backside where both straps get mixed with each other.

Yeah it was very nice last summer. I was wearing it with shorts tshirt and matching straps. It is not the everyday wear and not the daily style. But sometimes having something different can be so refreshing. Different experience for sure.
This is a great idea! Especially for the summer, this is fun 🙌
Actually never tried it but you did a wonderful job with these two particular timepieces and you've made them your own. I think they look just great!!
