[tkyong1]

Hi all sifu,

Need your expert advice.

I have the following Longines Lungomare chrono for couple years. Lately, it has less wrist time cause it is so heavy on wrist due to the barcelet i guess. I am thinking to swap the steel barcelet to leather strap, so it make it lighter and easier to wear. Problem comes liao....i am not good in leather strap selection, and i understand there are quite a number of type, style and color to choice from. If i make a wrong choice, it will spoilt the look of the watch. So i sincerely seeking your advice on the type, style and especially "color" of leather strap which may suit the following Longines Lungomare which has polished silver bazel: -



Q1: Type and style of leather strap?
Q2: Color of leather strap to match the polished silver look?
Q3: Place that offer good choice and reasonably price? What about RAW at Tropicxxa Mall?
Q4: Estimated cost?

Thanks in advance, guys.
