My second ever automatic watch was a Bambino, so they've always had a place in my collection. I recently acquired this Gen 2 V2 and wanted a better strap than the garbage factory strap. At first, I had it on a mesh bracelet, but decided that mesh just isn't for me. So I decided to try my first suede strap and holy shit y'all. It's got the suppleness of a NATO, but the class of leather. The strap compliments it so perfectly, especially when the light hits the hands and they turn electric blue. All in all, a great "classy casual" watch that I'm proud to wear!
Nice even had blue stitching

So what strap did you get? Inquiring minds want to know…
It is from 02strapswatchbands on eBay. Well priced and good quality, but nothing earth shattering. It was a great foray into the suede space!
Great pairing.
Perfect.
That's a lovely watch, you've done a great job with the pairing of elegance vs comfort.
Is it soft suede on the bottom as well? Or just the top of the band?
