I do have the PVD buckle to match and certainly would make the switch when worn on the C11
Good man. Like to see attention to detail.

I purchased a Steveo strap it was Brown with a Bund. I then put the signed buckle from the watch that I used it for on the strap. Then after using it for some weeks I dyed the strap a dark navy blue and also used it on my watch minus the bund. It is a lovely strap that will last many years. Steveo straps make a very good quality strap at a very reasonable price.

watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

I purchased some leather dye from a shoe repairer. And dyed the strap myself. It worked and the strap looks lovely. So if you want to try it just purchase the leather dye and follow the instructions.
