Looks very much like a Bradley Sailcloth, but I'm guessing it isn't. Looks pretty natty though :D

Mind you, I think you could stick a plastic bag handle on this and it would still look good :lol:

Cheers. It's a RIOS1931 BASS. I got it from ebay - about £20... I like RIOS straps.

I feel that the black-grey strap makes the dial look washed out. Definitely prefer this on a dark brown or better yet, a distressed or suede-y brown strap like the one that comes with the rose-gold bezel version.

I think the 'washed out' look may be the fault of the photographer, rather than the strap. :)

I tried it on the nubuck (suede-y brown) in the past...

Anyhow, for today, I'll give the RIOS another go. :)

I love these, and it's a toss up whether this or a vintage Omega Deville Chronograph joins my collection. 8)
