Hmmm... I think the croco strap looks better. I think the shape of the case and the lugs just flow better with the strap. Kinda reminiscent of the IWC Ingeniour.

White gold? Platinum?

That's an heirloom watch there.

Hi Andrew - The Patrimony is white gold & the Overseas is SS.

I agree. I also prefer the strap look.

Hi Sal, thanks for the warm welcome! And Fred as well... looks like a great site.

Sal, I love that watch on the strap. The bracelet is gorgeous, but on the strap the unique lugs and case are highlighted. Beautiful piece!

Cheers guys.

Ross

I'll take the dissenting view. That strap is pretty but I love the style and construction of that bracelet. Tried on that very piece when I was last in NYC and the boutique had opened just a few days before. Bracelets with uniqueness and style can be hard to find, and that's a very nice one.

I'm with Scott - the Overseas is a bracelet watch. It's extraordinary.

Hi sal

Its a hard to choose as the metal strap is like the shape of the vatcheron logo, But it would be the brown leather strap for me looks very good. Love the watch.
