So lets see some more on leather!

I'll start.
Despite my addiction like of NATO's on most of my watches, I was wondering what the Monopusher would look like on a leather strap.
Ferreting around in my 20mm box I found that most of the leather straps were rather thin, but I did find one thicker one and having fitted it I liked the look and feel of it on my wrist.
Unusually for SWMBO, she commented on the strap combo but suggested the leather would look nicer if it were a lighter colour. But not having anything lighter in my collection I decided to get myself something suitable.b Having had a Toshi strap way back on a Breitling B1 I remembered being impressed with the supple leather and general quality, so off I went to have a look at the latest offerings on his website.

Lots of lovely leather straps to choose from, but I finally settled for a Horween Essex.

As much as I'm enjoying my MP one thing I have quite clear: you don't want to put it on a NATO. It looks superb on that leather strap
That looks great!
That Toshi looks perfect
I have mine on this but thinking it might look better on either a chunky strap like yours or maybe a Shell Cordovan- haven’t decided yet

I was hoping my strap would arrive today but pics to follow when it does.
Looks like it suits a fat slab of hide. It’s great with a chunky jumper, a real winter watch.
Suits a darker/black leather strap best, I think. Mid brown -doesn’t contrast enough.
You know what it would look very good on ! My wrist.

Fitted with a CWC leather strap for fixed bars which originally came with one of their dive watches I acquired used.
Yet to find it but somewhere I have a dark blue Geckota leather wrist strap which I'd like to try, as I cannot get the perfect fit with the CWC, slightly loose, or too tight.

These looks great, all of them
I see I am going to have to get some leather straps for mine which arrives tomorrow. I have very few leather ones being a NATO or Tropic fan.

It looks very good on leather, but the white dial's crying out for Haveston canvas ;-) . Either a Flightdeck or a Bakelite-F. The dark blue of the Flightdeck would work well with the blued hands and blue dial markings. IMHO. I don't have one, but here are the straps with a white dial for an idea of the look . . .
F.T.F.A.
Awaiting my return home. Chuffed to bits. Love it.

Mine arrived today and I have put it on this leather Rally style strap.
It’s a wonderful watch. The chrono pusher is positive with out being too stiff. The dial is a thing of beauty. I was lucky to just get mine before they sold out, serial 46 of the 50.

This, from John Keiller:
Handmade to order by John in Scotland. He takes your wrist measurements, choice of leather and choice of thread for stitching (in this case the colour is a perfect patch for the "old radium" lume on the dial) so it really is bespoke. Ł45 posted and worth every penny. john.keiller@gmail.com or 07786273190
To say I'm delighted with the strap would be an understatement. My poor pics don't do it justice.
Arrived today. Not sure but will give it ago. I have been wearing it on a NATO which surprisingly does work.

Early Christmas present for myself. Petrol Toshi strap with natural stitching to compliment the dial. My first from Toshi and won't be my last. A quality piece of leather.

No leather, but steel. Quite like it!

Looks great on steel bracelet. Can you tell me what kind of bracelet it is and where I could get one?

Nice combination, the strap really works with the blue on the dial. Looks genuinely vintage in that strap

^^^Such a lovely looking watch. And that bracelet really suits it.
Such a shame I wasn't in a position to get one when they were available.
