    Are you saying both of those straps were from Laco's Spring Special? Wow, now that's diversity. I think you matched them up perfectly; the lighter of the two on the A-Muster and the darker on the B-Muster (at least that's what I would have done). I'm really digging both of them and it would kill me to have to choose one over the other.

    ....correct, (i bought the A a day or two after sale end but they were kind enough to include another spring se strap ), so yeah, i was expecting variation in surface appearance texture etc, but not that drastic of a difference in actual leather color, i like tan leathers more so it works for me, if it's a darker straps then the one at top of thread.....the darker spring se strap i doubt i'll wear much i bet. In the end i couldn't decide either, so i got both, haha. Good thing there was never a C-dial or i'd be in trouble i think.

    ...thx. it's made by 'k-straps'.....they pre-weather these straps in a barrel of metal junk (aka 'shrapnel') and then soak the leather with oils under vacuum iirc....never had such a thick strap that was this soft.....premium price but worth it imo. i think these watches look even better on a thicker leather of some sort imho.

    That's also a nice strap (the lighter tan) , and I like the darker one from the spring special. Mine is a bit light. You really make me want to buy the A dial ASAP...I have to put aside some money starting from now
