These little dress watches are more impressive in the metal than they may appear on your computer screens.
I was motivated to do the very same thing back in 2009, purchase a Verona to releive it of its strap.
In my case the corfam strap that came with the watch was a 20mm strap crammed inbetween the 19mm lugs. It also came with a gold plated buckle.
Here's my write up from back then : http://www.chronocentric.com/forums/heuer/index.cgi?page=1;md=read;id=31769
