    New shoes for my Monaco Cal. 11

    Took advantage of some accumulated points in an app and @mlcor’s suggestion of Barton straps to get a chocolate brown racing strap for my Monaco. I don’t mind the black OEM strap, but it’s a bit too short for my wrist and the way the clasp works made it a risk to wear. Ended up getting the extra long version; perhaps the regular would have been long enough, but something about the Monaco’s shape makes straps feel shorter than on other watches. So I didn’t want to risk it. I think it looks quite good and fits the aesthetic of the watch.

    Horween is neat, I can definitely see why it has the reputation that it does. Anyway, just wanted to share.

    Looks Great. Barton makes some pretty good straps for not a lot of money.

    That looks really good.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Really works well with the watch. I've been thinking of a blue racing strap for my Farer, I'm going to see what Barton has.

    How do you not have any brown straps!? Do you usually wear black shoes?
