·Changing brands frequently here, no loyalty from me as these jeans don't fit next year, always shrinking. Yeah, that's what it is, they shrink! 👎
No other possible way to splain it.

·I bought couple of pair of Levi’s recently, getting tight on tolerances around the waist - needed the next size up, again-but the leg length tape measure must be broke, always been a 30” inside leg for a perfect fit, these, no.
Girl in the shop thought I was kidding when I told her of the days of ‘shrink to fit’ Levi’s, get them home and then sit in a hot bath for an hour to get them snug, and blue tinted legs for a week.
Daughter tells me turn ups are just for hipsters, well I’m* just not going to the effort of putting them on the inside.
* Well the boss isn’t.

·Selvedge down the right side of the strap obviously, with the stripes from that following through the crown, for the win

·Ever since the Moonswatch came out, I've been talking about how a customisable F1 quartz series could do well - easy enough to have the option to mix and match your case, bezel and strap colours. Dials too, realistically - it would be easy enough to have a selection of all 4 options with the dials/movements ready to be fitted in the selected case and then bezels and straps attached. This could even be done in-store, and you could have pre-selected combinations for things like a country's flag or Formula 1 track locations etc.
Personally I don't like the original F1 nor the later designs with the hard rubber inserts/crown guards (I do like the modern designs, especially the Senna edition with the Legend bracelet) but a customisable colourful option could certainly be a gateway to more watches for many people.

Been done .
I distinctly remember my brothers and I had just such a system of watches in the early 80s.
I don't remember the maker, or brand, but definitely remember the interchangable elements. IIRC they did resemble the early F1 style of "plastic diver-look-a-like".
It wasn't a high-value system, of that I'm sure, and all plastic based.
