Alternate straps for X-33 Marstimer?

Anyone have any good suggestions for alternate straps for the X-33 Marstimer beyond the color matches NATO it comes with?

I tried a NATO with orange stripes but the 'regular' orange on the strap didn't harmonize well with the more subdued/iron oxide like orange on the bezel.

I suspect the chunky case of The X33 just wont look balanced on anything other than a bracelet, I had a similar problem with my even chunkier flightmaster, I tried it with various straps but the just didn't look right it always stood out like a third ball on a greyhound! It wasn't until I went back to a bracelet, that it looked balanced. I think Ii visually needs the metal of the bracelet to draw some of the eye's attention from the bulk of the case.
Or maybe that's just me!

One of these options might be suitable. I have a few Sinn straps. They are very well made and in my opinion, worth the price. They restock fairly often, so if something is not currently available (and it strikes your fancy), check back:

If you like the strap, but the buckle is wrong, they have some deployant options available. I've never needed a standard buckle, but if the strap comes with polished and you want something more subdued, a call to Watchbuys might prove beneficial. I've had excellent customer service over the years by contacting them directly.
