Strap Suggestion for red orient
Got this for the wife as she wanted a cheap beater with red dial.



Nice sun burst dial, classic styling and sapphire crystal.. great value.. but as with all orient in this price range, the bracelet feels cheap, so I need some strap suggestions in leather, what color will match the dial best?

A dark brown leather strap, with croc prints and same color stitching. ;)



Hope it helps.



Good evening SCS. :mrgreen:

Slapped a black croc pattern strap that I had... somehow looks a little off?

The RED, in certain angle looks very close to MAROON color. Metallic as well.





Not easy to pair imo... if the strap is dark colored, like Mocha, or Black will tend to look too loud and make the dial look toned down, and the over all look of the watch can be un-balanced.

I wonder does the lighter, TAN, with laquered(or gloss?) coating, crocodile pattern strap will balance the whole look out abit or not...?

Too light will look weird.

Dark textured brown or mocha as bro edyeo suggested.

Grey croc leather?

Something not as harsh and contrasting as black.



Or... Just embrace it.

It's red. Go all out and get a red smooth calf leather.

It'll be fine on ladies.

Example (taken fm the web):



(it looks nicer ofcourse in gold case... but just try it)
