    As you know, in January I was lucky enough to become proud owner of a BP Ali. It was an impulsive buy.

    Now, about two month later, I am still completely in love with the Ali, especially that great red. But I thought that the red could somehow be more dominant, so I decided to pimp it.

    Found a french strap maker who replaced on the original strap the stitching. And here is the result:

    When I picked up my new car on Thursday, I also got as a gift a gadget which fits perfectly the new strap. So I decided to experiment a bit with the camera - please forgive me for the results, I am not a good photographer:

    Now, my Ali is perfect.

    Those red accents work great Giovanni! I like the Porsche iPhone case too. May I ask what your new car is? I really loved your previous one :-)

    Kind regards,

    Hi Clemens, it's the same as before, just the new model and this time in white. As soon as the weather gets better I will post some pictures of it along with watches.

    Nice customizing...I guess not everyone likes the pressed leather.
    But the red accent stitching looks terrific.

    I am red with envy - not many pimpin's are good, but this one is! I'd even say it looks even better now!

    It looks perfect, Giovanni! Restitching the original strap was an inspired way to get the color combo you wanted!

    Hi Giovanni,

    Does your Ali big pilot comes with a book when you purchase the watch?

    Anyway, I love the red stitch you add on to your strap, may be you can try the brown strap as I found it to be great with the red marker.
