As promised some pics of the kudu (East African antelope) below. It is a lot like the Panerai assolutemente strap. Has a velvety feel and comes with a 'patina' from the antelopes harsh living environment. Pretty comfy from first wear.
I think it works (even with my pale skin) as it provides an alternatives to the dark coloured rubber and croc/gator strap that would usually go on it. As a result focus goes on the dial which is the core of the whole watch. Just wish I had the green backed version, unfortunately this one is plain brown.
On a separate point Moser contacted me this afternoon on the fabric strap. Apparently it will be available in the summer as a direct purchase form them.
The dome !
Slightly thicker than the rubber/croc on the buckle side.
