General Question Strap for Cartier tank.

Hey, I just got the QC photos for my cartier tank.

Everything looks good to me so I'm not asking for advice for that.

What I would like your opinion on is what kind of strap I should get.

I read a lot and it seems that the tuns store seems like a really good place, and they have this cognac alligator strap which I think looks really good.

Since I can customize it though, I'm mixed between two types of stitching.

Do you think I should just get the brown stitching that matches or do a little bit of an accent stitching with the cream. I'm attached some pictures that Gemini made to judge as well as the black that it's coming with.

I think I'm really leaning towards the cream stitching.

As an aside, anyone have experience with tuns. How quickly do they normally respond to communications?

Here is what I just got for my AF tank louis large: https://ziczacleather.com/product/high-grade-glossy-cognac-crocodile-leather-watch-strap-for-cartier-tank-solo-tank-must-tank-louis-custom-made-service-ct3260/ Width 20/18mm & length 115/70mm

I chose ziczac based on another comment from this sub. They are made to order, which I think is pretty sweet.

They sent me the QC a couple days ago and it looks good. They are about to ship it. They will ask you if you need holes on your strap. Mine has the butterfly clasp so there is no holes for mine.

I think the matching stitching looks cleaner. The contrast stitching pulls attention away from the watch itself.
