PRS29b strap suggestions

[dicky8588]

This sounds like the kind of thread that could well be in existence but I can't find it so apologies if one is out here. Anyway as the title says I am after strap suggestions for this fantastic new aquisition. I like the nato but I wam after something a little smarter like a vintage leather of some kind (the one it comes with although great quality is a little bulky for me). For some reason I can't seem to find the right combination. Any ideas? Thanks

I have been wearing a Db10 corfam style strap for the last few days after picking it up on Tuesday. One of these might fit the bill available in loads of different textures and colours and the taper from 20mm to 16mm would work well on this watch I think.

thanks they do look very nice. Not too thick? I was looking at something like this or a di modell rallye. Something a bit worn in.

Here's a shot I took a while back of my 29B and his cousin on DiModell jumbo straps. While I really like the tan or light brown colour, the jumbo was slightly too thick for my liking. So I'm now wearing in a Rios shell cordovan light brown strap which is much thinner but almost identically coloured.



When not on leather, I use Eddie's olive drab canvas straps which have the comfort of a NATO but without all the extra flappy bits. :-)

That 29b does look rather fine.

Not something I wanted to admit because I am trying to talk myself out of not buying one; under the pretext that I really, really would prefer the 6105 inspired model that is due out.

No, it makes no sense to me either. Fancy them both really.

I'm at home, waiting for a delivery, that's already many hours late.
To stave off the boredom (and mounting anger) I thought I would entertain myself
and hopefully some others by taking a quick video of my 29B on the RIOS shell cordovan.

Liking the Rios. Is that the Springfield or Chicago?

That's the Springfield. I also have the dark brown, which is awaiting the return of my Speedy from it's service.

This thread contains some pics.

Cheers!

Most kind, they do make nice wee cameras.

I wear mine on a simple, one-piece Horween shell cordovan in the Natural color that I made myself.

Kind Regards,

sorry but not sure what's locally available in the UK... but i had a chance to try on some db10 straps (they are UK i think) and the straps are very nice! their designs, especially with minimal stitching, and the taper gives off a very vintage feel!!!!
