Never say never. A few years ago when I first saw the Bell & Ross Airborne (now called Skull) I found the watch to be unique but unattractive... Why would anyone want to wear a watch with a huge skull on it? Some people are surely crazy... Well, here is my newest watch, the limited edition Bell & Ross BR 01 Skull Bronze ;-). Proof again that tastes do change with time, so never say never.

My Favorite Bell & Ross Aftermarket Straps: BandRbands.com
When it comes to aftermarket straps, the choices are endless. I have tried everything, from $15 eBay straps to $500 Atelier du Bracelet Parisien (ABP) straps. If given a choice, I prefer to buy pre-made straps versus custom ordered ones due to their much lower price and immediate availability. Often times the wait for the custom order straps are over 4 weeks! Unfortunately, because of my thinner wrist size (<6.5"), most of the pre-made straps that I found online were just too long for me... until I found BandRbands.com (they are also on Instagram).
