For me the answer is VERY! A great strap can enormously improve the look and indeed character of any watch, high end, low end, Patek or other brand. In general, Patek supplied men's straps are black or brown (most common), dark gray or dark blue. Patek do...
Interestingly when I ordered the strap for the J I thought it would be a darker blue just like the one on the G. At first I was disappointed, but only until I put it on the J. Then I was extremely happy.

Patekova, you emphasized a subject we feel in every related thread is something people appreciate very much. In the mean time, I must say we don't see that much and I didn't go that way either yet! I have one with a bracelet and one with rubber thus not r...
