I am noticing more and more in the WRUW thread that more people are getting adventurous with strap materials and colors.
Some of mine..

My middle name is daring and my spirit is adventurous😁:



Don't know if the grey alcantara is considered different but I don't think it's a very common choice.

...which is great, as long as the wearer has good taste. You @Barking mad have good taste indeed, and your adventurous choices are always fun to see.

I'm always out-of-style. I have a couple of watches around here with what could be considered brighter colored straps. I've been thinking of toning them down with different straps.

Leave it to me to misjudge fashion.

Nothing like yours, however, my Eternas, standard materials but I think the colours are a little adventurous 😀

I mostly am a bracelet, and NATO guy. However, I have a few gorgeous 19mm lug width watches that need some exotic leather.

Will probably have a few custom made from hdstraps.com in the future. Just need to research a lot on the pros/cons of ostrich/alligator/shark/lizard/string ray leather to see which is more durable, comfortable, etc. for my needs. So many materials to choose from, ha.

One thing I know that straps are great,they create great opportunities to tell friends and people even ourselves that who we are.

I have this habit of keeping dozens of spare straps,some might not get the opportunity to spin in short term,but their characters are always there.

I like to get straps that are traditional on top but it’s party time on the back. I have this one with a red leather under.

also I have ordered a brown cordovan high polished strap with a bright purple backing. When it’s done I’ll share.

I would be barking mad to wear those colours.

And the "mullet" strap was born. On a Reverso, no less. So, appropriate, I guess.

You obviously aren’ta strong advocate for having fun. May I suggest a thread about wallpaper instead?

I wasn't judging, I was making a joke. You're projecting, but let's both drop it.
