Traded out my usual dark brown, authentic imitation lizard strap today for this Speidel Genuine Teju, "honey brown" on my 218. What do you think?

I'm having trouble picking the difference but I think the new one. It's more shiny.

I agree with PeterHBne. The second one looks the same, except newer...and better. Looks like the exact same pattern! :cool1:

Sorry, I should have clarified. These are both pics of the new strap. I think a pic of my old one (darker) is up on the "2 of my latest Accutrons" thread. This is a lighter shade of brown than I've ever had on this watch, but it kinds of sits well with the hue of the gold case and matches somewhat with a mild contrast of the visible red of the coils. I like...

I think a nice golden brown strap always looks good with a gold watch.

I like it but it is taking a while to get used to. I've only ever had dark brown (some almost cordovan) lizard or croc straps on this watch. My Dad used to wear it with a black strap occasionally. I was looking for something different...

I agree. Thank God for cows and snakes and crocodiles. And fake stuff.

You know, I have always wanted to see the animal Corfam comes from. Must be really unique and rare. Who knows, maybe extinct by now.

Possibly a unicorn
