Resurrecting this thread, after wandering off into other things, I've been browsing old GS again and think I might have found a winner:

It looks like they've got some of the spirit there.
I know people want bigger than 34mm...but at 43mm I think that's going to look huge?!

Thanks Shaney, I haven't seen one with a textured dial like that. The all steel(?) colour scheme is a nice find too.

Ignore - posted I think wrong thread - sorry.
The date subdial is the one that I'm not sure about, feels like it would be slow to read. Not owned one though, so happy to be proved wrong!

Fan of the black dial too.
14.3mm thick, seems a lot? https://www.seikowatches.com/uk-en/products/presage/ssa449j1

Great minds: always my first stop and the source of the matte brown calf above. Just couldn't quite find *the one*.

I have a kit from Amazon, with similar tools to some of the others linked.

Thanks, I'm loving it.
Something unpadded would be good, especially with the (lack of) height! 17mm doesn't give the most options.

Thanks JGJG,
It's 33mm and 36mm lug-to-lug. At only 5mm thick I think it wears slightly smaller though.
I will definitely keep an eye on the performance, the movement was one of the main...

Pantheralla are worth a try: English made, hard-wearing and gentle on athletic calves.
Often in TK Maxx too.

Thanks Saxon007 and Cyclone.
I was thinking pig or goatskin, so that's particularly great to hear.
Longines looks wonderful!

I'd forgotten Watchband Centre, thanks, a few runners there :)

Thanks, good point. I think I'll wait until I can measure it / try it with 18mm straps I have. I dabble in leathercraft so have thought I could easily trim a strap down before...didn't turn put well!...
