Why not leave it on so you guys can make a decision about a strap together? Its a personal choice...

This is what I did with my OH's GP. In the end she went with a darker colour than I would have chosen, and a different one from her initial thought. Overall the final one was the correct choice.
Plus she enjoyed the process.

I hadn't thought about it like that, I initially assumed she'd want a silver one but after I strategically showed her an episode of antiques roadshow with someone getting a some Cartiers valued, she said "ohh the gold, it would look much better with my skin tone!".
Best not to assume, everyone is correct, thanks.
Re: Boxes.
There seems to be two main styles, that I'll call cushion and mount for want of correct terms ;
cushion
and mount
There seems to be a lot of fakes from china, and mostly they are cushion style (presumably as their easier to make) So I think mount is a safer bet...

Looks more like an 18mm to me.
I've just been through a pile of straps and while I have a lot of 18mm that would fit perfectly, they're all extra long straps for my wrist so I have a feeling that they'll be way to long for your gf.
I actually agree with @freddo. That strap looks good. Why not leave it on so you guys can make a decision about a strap together? Its a personal choice...
