frederique constant?

does anyone own or is familiar with this brand of watches? have attached some pics for reference. i was looking at the cartier ballon bleu in the store and the SA brought out these watches to show me as they're automatic unlike the small-sized cartier i was considering which is quartz.

i don't like the white strap so am considering the SS with a grey strap. would love to know what everyone thinks!

I am familiar with them but I don't own one. They make some really nice timepieces. I agree with you - the grey strap looks nicer.

grey!

thanks for opinions! the SS picture i uploaded shows the blue alligator strap which is not as pale IRL as in the picture. i like that too. my only concern with the grey strap is that it is satin and not leather. i quite like the rose gold case but can't get over the white strap.

any other thoughts?

You can't get different straps for these watches? I would worry about a satin strap getting dirty...

I do like the other strap, though

if you want i would also recommend zenith the watchmaker who first presented the cut out heart watches (and they have interchangeable straps)
