She was originally "dressed up" with a very formal band (oiled calf) and very dressy:

Very sporty I know. But as we all know the Red 12 is pretty versatile, so this is how she's transformed:


I like the difference myself, it wears quite soft and the polished buckle matches the case. As to whether I would be looking for another "dress" for the Red 12, probably yes

I also purchased this from the re-seller a PVD mesh for my IPB:

Its fitted now, and here's the transformation (apology for the over-exposed crappy phone pics)




Will wait and see how the PVD coated spring bars hold up to the scratches... fingers xx
