    Which one did you get? I've bought a few of the Di-Modell ones from UKwatchstrap and been very pleased. Suit the LLD perfectly imo.

    It's a "Barrington" but quite thick, gone from the shop site now as it was last in stock so no links or pics.

    Yes, It's the Hirsch Rivetta. (http://www.hirschag.com/en/hirsch-brace ... tment/#/16)

    A very beautiful strap, my favorite from the Hirsch range (although I've the deep blue Modena...)

    [quote="frp422"]My Modena Tropic arrived and is now on the watch. It works very well (even the Longines buckle fits) and I'm now happy with this combo to stay :)

    Hi

    i just got some new straps for my LLD i would share with you, i usely wear it on a black NATO because i did not like the kevelar one.

    I bought 2 new natos and a leather strap on a clasp which i don't fancy that much.

    Brown NATO

    Re: Longines legend diver, straps.

    A NATO certainly suits it well, but just for the record (again!) it never came on a kevlar strap. A synthetic strap called a "Trieste" (Longines provided much of the instrumentation on the Trieste record setting bathysphere, while Rolex had their watch strapped to the outside) which at best can be described as "sailcloth".

    Cheers

    It is one of my favorites, and your LLD will look like this :


    what do you think?

    A leather nato would be an interesting option too.

    The Longines Legend Diver is one of those watches that lends it's self to various strap options. I recently bought this one and I think the supplied sailcoth strap is great and has changed a little, it is certainly longer than the earlier watches than I tried when it was first available.

    I have now paired it up with this Hirsch Lucca strap, but I'm still on the lookout for a rubber strap option.

    This Green Kevlar style strap gives it a more military look.

    I need to know this too now... Have found an orange one but that's not going to cut it.

    Picked up this lovely quality strap from Bulang & Sons.



    The stitching matches the lume perfectly.

    One thing about this watch is that almost ANY strap goes with it.

    Even if you slap on a pink strap...it will still rock.

    Almost anything goes with a big black dial. The off-white lettering matches with contrast strap stitching too.

    Most versatile watch I've seen.
