I clearly prefer a non black leather with the C1 moonglow.

Following last Friday's successful outing of my C5 Battle of Britain LE on a bund strap

I've been meaning to try the same strap on my other Aviator of a similar size for ages and finally got the bund swapped over this afternoon.

Here therefore for this week's #FliegerFriday is my 6B Mk3 'Scramble' (dedicated also to the battle of Britain).

There is though something about the style of the watch that doesn't quite work on this particular vintage strap and I'm thinking a bund in grey might be better.
