Interested in the second edition of this watch ...( the one with the black dials .... not white ) Found one from a reputable dealer but it has a plain black strap . Every picture I can find of this watch has the orange stitching on the strap . Just replaced by the previous owner ?.. or should I turn it down . ?

 

It has been replaced, the OEM strap is a black croc strap with orange stitching. But many that I've seen for sale with the orange stitch croc straps are not the original OEM straps either. Not unusual at all, if the watch has been well worn over the last 15 years, the original strap will likely be showing its age. So many will slap on a fresh strap when putting them up for sale.
