First Few Months with the SBGX349
After a few months on the wrist, I figured it was time to finally post about this beauty, the SBGX349. I bought it from u/jdaclutch (easily the best seller I've ever worked with) after spending several years hunting around for one in my price range. The 34mm size is perfect for my dainty wrists. I tend to prefer a smaller presence on the wrist anyway, and I feel like this size is my sweet spot. I wanted a everyday work watch that could be dressed up or down, and this lil guy fits the bill for me.
The only challenge I'm running into is the strap - I tried to show the range of colors from the dial in different lights, but it has a definite purpleish tinge to it that I haven't quite nailed down a satisfactory strap color for. I want a brown strap, but I don't love how the typical blue dial choice of "chocolate" brown looks on it. I like the more orange/honey sea snake strap (pics 2, 4, and 5) I have but I'm still not totally sold. I really enjoy the gray nubuck on it, but it has more of a winter feel to it than I want for the summer/fall, and the light tan sailcloth just isn't high quality enough to be worn to work (it frays from the holes)
Does anyone have any advice (and pictures) of browns straps that pair well with a more purpley-blue dial?
