    This is what I have on-hand in 20mm. They are not shiny, the light is causing that look.

    It really isn't a sport watch so the 3 Chronissimmo/Pilot are placing last. The Pilot in the middle is a dark chocolate brown.

    It is Summer in Florida and the rain has returned so the rubber option has appeal but the curved end on these two do not match up to the lug holes so they are out.

    I could turn the world on edge and at least try the tan or brown strap.

    The gator print is a good look because it adds some style and has a flat/matte finish. But kiss my ass I can't find the other half of it.

    The matte black strap is padded so it has a nice profile.

    I may just try each one of the 6 (counting from the right side) for a week each and see what my brain eventually likes.

    I need to find a matte black padded gator and a rubber and maybe a black canvas/sail cloth to try.

    The hands really are blued.

    Pretty good. I could certainly live with it that way.
