condemore Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I have the Skyland with grey dial. I've wearing it in ss bracelet. I've try sometimes the leather rep straps, but I always return to install the ss. I received 2 croco rep straps with deployant, one black I asked for and one brown I received by error. I've tried both in the Skyland and I like them both. But I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0r Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'd say black croc.. Thats my vote.. I just got this watch and I just ordered the same black..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis123 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 If You ask me, the brown one adds a "touch of class" to it. Best regards, Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I like the brown...But much like By-tor's affection for blue dials (or maybe it just seems that way to me.), I am partial toward brown straps...whether it be croc, gator, or just plain cow...I love the brown!!

chillininla Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 The black one for sure. It makes the watch look a lot classier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerthat Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I like both, which suprises myself. Change based on your shoes I say both look good. Nice photos too. If they were gen Breitling croc straps I would prefer the Brown. With the rep options, if forced to choose,I would go black and never go back.

Toadtorrent Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Well...the answer is clear...either black or brown work. However...if you are Lani...you could go for the divers. Lanikai's Skyland on Rubber I think the brown looks awesome for the standard every day wear...and the black when you need to dress it up a bit. Rubber is good for saying "don't !#%% with me"...and the bracelet is great for heft and bling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 looks like the brown is thicker - i go for Gerth i'm waiting on my damn strap from hktan so i can wear mine already !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I say the black but i think a very dark blue would look very good also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozziebear Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I vote for Brown ! - Black strap fits a black dial, but doesn't match so good with an grey dial. - Brown strap gives a nicer "contrast" and isn't so "hard" as black.

Lugnegard Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Really like both, the brown has really caught my attention though, very thick and with some great padding. I think it complements the beautiful grey dial perfectly. But it all comes down to personal taste and, perhaps even more important, what you are wearing that day! A suit, a nice shirt or a sweater...take whatever matches! I woud however really like to know where you bought your straps, I need that brown one.
