·I mean this is your watch, but this gets a hard no in my opinion.

·As a guy who wears his Speedmasters on 16mm straps, I say: If it makes you happy, it’s right as rain.
Enjoy,

·I love these posts as they cover interesting issues. There is the group that says, “whatever you like, wear it, it’s yours.” Well, of course that’s true - you own it, you can do what you want with it.
But what about the aesthetics? Again, one can argue that it doesn’t matter if the owner likes it. But then there’s the rub of whether it’s appealing to the eye, the historical context, the design intent.
I think the OP’s watch on the strap looks good.
GW: do you do this for the look, the comfort of a smaller strap. Why?

·I think it looks good. The black strap echoes nicely with the dial and brings out the case nicely.

Thank you for the compliment. I was being facetious with the original question because I’m a believer that beauty is in the eye........
I do like the dialogue it has opened. I also like that G-Web has been exposed for wearing 16mm straps on his watches. Haha.

·A few years ago I took the strap from a little Marathon military watch and put it on a Speedmaster and that was it.
It reminded me of Bond's Submariner, and also of Brando's GMT, where the absence of a bezel somehow makes the watch more interesting. In other words, it's the imperfections that I find more appealing than things that are just so.
Cheers,

·I personally would not wear that combo--but *who cares* what I think?! Of course, you wear what you want, whatever fits your style. Would be pretty boring if we all agreed.

·In thirty or more years of wearing decent watches, only one person has ever noticed. And it was an orange Seiko Monster on an orange zulu. Doubtful that anyone will notice, or care. Kind of sad that folks have rules for watch bands...

· Yep it's wrong. I'm now coming to think the MKII is better on a bracelet. 😀
