Where are you guys getting the black/orange stitches? I really think it suits the dreadnought. I've been looking for a rubber/pu one in this combo, any pointers?

Just put # 101 on a black/orange rubber combo from "the strap shop" after a few days of wear the combo is comfortable and not collecting as much DNA a most silicon straps.

That sort of works MartJust put # 101 on a black/orange rubber combo from "the strap shop" after a few days of wear the combo is comfortable and not collecting as much DNA a most silicon straps.
That works really well :-)
It's very similar to what I have on mine and works really well.
I've got a black/orange Toshi coming that I think is going to be an outstanding combination.
I love mine -
Bon Voyage! :D
Finkaudio - that looks great. What is that strap please?
Popped mine on to a shark skin strap last night. I think I like this a lot.

Love the orange strap. Make me want to get one for my Voyager.
I think it looks great on a black strap with orange stitching.
The perfect combination, I think, although there are a lot I like here!

Just had a play with an old deck shoe and added a bundesque back to the ammo strap, I like. It has rustic and rudimentary charm as well as comfort, despite its Heath Robinson design

Black/orange stitch try Cousins or watchbandcenter.com
Very nice leather-black/orange stitching with orange leather under made by diloy (espania) sold by geckota
Its great fun watching you fella's try out different straps for the DN
The original DN has been through most of the above if you look back at the threads over the last decade.
IMHO you have to decide whats looks good and what is practical.
Having worn the watch all over the world, I have to say that the bracelet does do the job, although it does make the DN very heavy, I believe the PRS 2 is heavier than the Voyager?
Ok in my experience what works as an all rounder for the watch.
1/ The original bracelet, but carefully adjusted, too tight and it will be a killer in warmer climes.
2/ Super thick Zulu/Rhino. Maratac are the best I've found.
3/ Leather, Toshi/DB10/any Paneria like straps do look good and are comfortable, but no good with water or sweat. (No to a Bund sorry)
4/ Sailcloth, I had one on another big watch and it worked well but only lasted a summer.
5/ Rubber I think this has to be best for travelling. Either of Eddies will do I have 2 different ones. Isofrane must be the most suitable IMHO, but have only seen and touched them on other watches. The Sinn rubber deployment looks good but not sure of quality.
One tip if you go for a Zulu/Rhino (Natos are to flimsy IMHO) take a spare for when its wet if your using it in the water, where this watch should go.
Great to see the watches being used and not becoming safe queens.
Enjoy

That seems like really good advice. I think I'm going to try one of Eddies rhinos and get a Toshi too.
Those black&white photos are just a classic!
New strap, Hirsch Medici, the curved ends fit well and make all the difference I think
Mine is still wrapped up in the box. When I've sold all the other similar watches I own I may wt it out.
Samurai anyone??
I decided to try again and use the old leather rucksack to make the back strap, have to say although it is amateur, it is very comfortable

For now, although the Voyager's not a limited edition, but only Eddie will have any clear idea of when and if more will be made.Cool

I do like that,I'm wondering how an Orange MM300 rubber would look,got one in my bits n bobs drawer ;)And on a Frankie Tso orange croc:
I think he should stop making them now ;)
Moved it on to a Toshi Storm Grey.
Picked up a cheapish black leather Meyhofer with orange stitching from Watchbandcenter to see if I can live with colour in a strap. Good value for €22.60 posted from Germany to the UK, and with a titanium deployant too!

Planning on giving the orange Isofrane a shot once it warms up.

Brown leather looks so good, retro
I do have to give up watching this post, I am sure I do need a Voyager, and the leather strap gives it a nice-reto look
Little overcast in the shires today so thought I would add some colour and since the postie delivered this from Marcus at Waccex I thought why not.

Orange looks great Mart.
Are you missing your lume triangle or is it sat further in. Looking at the other pics it seems the triangle sits flush with the bezel but yours is noticeably deeper (or not there).
That looks very nice :thumbup:Little overcast in the shires today so thought I would add some colour and since the postie delivered this from Marcus at Waccex I thought why not.
To much "time" on my hands so another new strap combo
