Beauties! where did you get those? Deployment?
From FINWATCHSTRAPS.COM based in Helsinki, good price and came on good quality deployment buckles.

Not a rally strap, but it still has speed holes to help me optimize performance?



Grade: A
The holes will make your wrist more aerodynamic and shave precious 100ths off your lap times

Your comments welcome about these two straps.
1. add overall warmth without detracting from moon disc, lume, hands...

2. complement colours on the dial ...





... and your sniper comment reminded me of the strap on Stallone 🤦:

Grade: D
Crocodile on a chronograph? Did you even read the original post? And where on your color wheel does it say tan is the complement of gray?

Time to revive this thread. Do my latest choices check out?

Surely you jest… 😲😁

Here’s a nice 22/16 in black calf leather from Matteo (TorreStraps).

This one hasn’t arrived yet, and I passed on a BOR :\ Can I be forgiven?


Love the Seamaster, but as for the strap...hmmmm...not too sure if there should be soup for you with a padded monster strap. I'd grade it 6/10, that being a solid C - so, yep, no soup for you, but you can try again in a year.

I'll take that C and try again tomorrow under the alias "Elaine".

Major faux pas. A leather strap on a DIVE watch. Oh, the horror. 😲 But I LIKE it. 😀
