Show me your orange straps!

[Man of Kent]

I'm off on a work trip abroad, taking a Citizen GMT eco-drive, and my G-Shock for the inevitable rougher stuff. I normally wear black straps, or at a pinch, grey nato. Not quite sure what came over me this morning but I bought a bright orange rubber strap to put on the citizen on a bit of an impulse. Am I mad?
It's going on this......

You must be remembering enthusing over this 😉



I love it, like a little ray of sunshine

I was wondering how long it would take you before flaunting your citrus swatch 😁

No longer own the watch or the strap... but I quite liked this combo... it's an Obris Morgan strap.

I bet that gets noticed, and complimented

That's a beauty. I really like those racing straps on certain timepieces.

Isofrane,

I'm not this biggest fan of Rolex, but I have to say this is a perfect combo for my taste. Beautifully matched.

I like an orange strap on the right watch.

I'm putting my Explorer 1 on an orange Rubber B today. I'll post some photos.

I reckon that's gonna look pretty cool :)

[ghosty]

just to match the outer bezel!

I was going to say the same thing using the same words!

I've never actually had an orange strap, but many moons ago I owned this...



Simon

PS I am really tempted to put something on an orange ISOfrane, I must say...

[Caruso]

The orange strap version comes with a lovely sand coloured display.

I have an orange theme going at the moment...

I've said it before but that is one special looking piece right there, very nice!

At the risk of being castigated for putting a leather strap on a diver, this is what I'm currently wearing...

I'd forgotten that when I bought my new Lum-Tec the other week, it came with a strap to match the lume...

I don't think the strap is the problem:-)

That's stunning. What's the model reference of that, Colin?

I know... the bezel's not lined up, is it

It's the 176.007 I believe. Not many examples as clean as this on the market.

Thanks Simon. Yes, it's the 176.007.

Crikey that's lovely. I have the same watch but it's on a blue rally. What strap is that?

Sorry the bezel is not lined up - not at home so will have to recycle an old photo.

Hey - if I'd wanted a watch with the bezel lined up, then I wouldn't have bought one with a rotating bezel, would I?!

(I also sometimes leave the sweep seconds hand running on my chronographs purely to annoy my fellow watch lovers...) :-)

[Der Amf]

That strap certainly has taken the edge off the size of the Citizen. So much so, that I'm almost wondering if I misestimated the size of the watch in the first place.....except you wouldn't be buying a small watch in the first place, would you?

It's not a large watch. It's 40mm at most. I think for a watch without a rotating bezel, that's a nice size. I have fairly oval wrists and can get away with big watches but in this case it's fine being relatively small.
