I'm not sure about the crocodile, the skin has very solid 'plates' and I think it is going to take a bit of time to conform to my wrist. I do like the colour of it, and with the big detail of the skin patterns would probably look worse on a smaller watch.

The lizard on the C5 I'm really pleased with, it accentuates the cream face of the watch really well. I bought the C5 off eBay with a very boring dark brown strap. This has really lifted it.

I bought both straps from: http://www.ukwatchstrap.co.uk
VERY fast service and look like good prices to me.
There's always time for one more.

I've not liked the idea of blue but...it would highlight the blue chrono hands, so:

Lizard on C5. 8) It gives it a very vintage look.
