    Strap experiments and fun (pic heavy)

    Ok guys had time last night while enjoying a G&T and watching various football matches to look over my collection and play around with some different straps on some of my watches.

    Would love you opinions!

    So watch one is the Seiko I have had problems getting on with this but now I am liking it more and more.

    Option 1



    Option 2



    Option 3



    1 & 2 are made by Adi on here. 3 is a cheap leather from watch Gecko

    Next up was the SMP Quartz

    Only the 2 options here

    Option 1



    Option 2





    Then it was onto the Speedy

    Option 1



    Option 2



    Option 3



    Option 4



    Option 5



    So pictures are poor I know but I am only blessed with a phone for these pictures.

    What's your opinions which options would you choose?

    I've had that problem. Most pics show in the browser version, others don't show in Tapatalk.

    For me, option 2 on the Seiko.

    Option 1 in the SMP - personal choice, but I think they are one of those watches that only really work on the original bracelet.

    For the speedy I like option 2. I've always been a sucker for brown leather with contrast stitch!

    Only just seen your PM, glad you got it sorted.

    Seiko - Option 1, love the vintage leather look
    SMP - Option 1 again, think it looks best on the bracelet
    Speedy - Not sure.. Don't think it works so well with brown. Black leather or go bold red rubber

    Speedy option 4 or 5.

    Where did you get 5 from? Unusual look, but works.

    I love changing straps - too much probably! But when you find one you love it's great. Got this tan one from Adirian on here
