    Wow, to my eye that's the best strap for this particular watch, looks great.

    Is that a Hirsch Pure? I’ve just got one of those but in black, currently on my 18A.

    I need to replace the buckle though, it’s polished, which doesn’t match the watch at all.

    It’s a Barton from the states. I swapped out the buckle for a beadblasted Seiko one I had in the box.

    I love these Ralphy and have been after one for ages but never seem to be able to order one from Carl as I keep missing the five minute a month window he’s open.

    Only ever received great product from GGB. That strap works really well.

    Here's mine earning it's keep in the Dominican Republic. Wore it constantly, including messing about on the beach and getting dragged around by the waves. Wasn't really tested for depth, but it certainly took the knocks and water well. No signs of wear on it at all. Great test for a watch like this and it came out with flying colours.
