Taupe pig skin for SGBK005

When it comes to custom straps for Grand Seiko's, I usually advise clients to go with a tight and simple grain leather as it's difficult to find an equally complex leather texture that matches their dials.

However I’d thought I’d give this pig skin a try because of the way the dilute solution of dye has settled in the leather grain. I think it compliments the dial quite nicely and gives the watch more of a vintage vibe. What do you think? I'd love to hear some comments.
