I'd like to hear your opinion on a new strap. I've always worn it with a bracelet, but want to give a strap a chance. Summer is right around the corner, but it should be appropriate for all-year wear as well. Perhaps I'd get 2, one for spring/summer, another for the rest of the year. Photos and links below.

Thanks in advance!

1. Café au Lait Leather Watch Strap
2. Olive Grey Nubuck Leather Watch Strap
3. The Mayfair Grey Leather Watch Strap - Jubilee Edition
4. Siena Brown Leather Watch Strap
5. Smoke Grey Leather Watch Strap
6. Rugged Grey Leather Watch Strap
7. Black Brown Silky Suede Watch Strap
8. Smoke Grey Retro Leather Watch Strap

I like the looks of number 4 and may procure one for my 36mm Aqua Terra.

Good selections though. It will be hard to go wrong with these.

Those all look really nice (especially the first three), but I gotta be honest, it's hard for me to get comfortable with an Explorer on anything other than the oyster bracelet. When you make a choice, post some follow-up photos to try and convince me otherwise.

It's a bracelet watch. But if it must be a strap, please not those horrible 2-stitch things.

Not sure if you are aware, but you will need curved spring bars to wear a strap on a 114270. Even with that, some of those straps may be a bit too thick to work.

You're not wrong; I've always loved the bracelet.

I'd vote 3 if you want to switch it up from the Oyster
