The strap looks great, I have a few different coloured ones myself, I think most watches suit them.

This green nato strap that the Seagull came on is just about perfect I think...

Put an olive green Joseph Bonnie Tropic on Mil-Spec and really like it.
Tried putting a synchron tropic on but the flat cut ends looked really poor with the case shape. The JB tropic rounds as per a "normal" strap. I recommend them highly.

I really like this combo. I have been after one of these straps for a while but they have been sold out for a bit.
I think it’s the perfect match for this lump.

Its a Retro Zulu Diver from watch gecko https://www.watchgecko.com/zuludiver...er-watch-strap
They are made by Bonetto Cinturini so very good quality and very soft.

I also really like these straps - look great on skindiver style divers.
They are pretty soft / flexible & not sure how they would feel on a chunky watch.

Looks nice that:) I put one of those straps on my Alsta Jaws watch looks cool.

I've got the Bonetto Cinturini 295 on my 6105-8000. The tail is a little long... I've trimmed mine down....but it's perfect for the case shape.

I've not really done them justice with the pics but I ordered a couple of Tudor 'style' fabric straps that arrived today. I'm pretty happy with the look of them on the BB58

Ok, so, as of now I really enjoy the everest on the alphawatch oyster and the sarb35 on the uncleseiko jubilee.
I feel they quite transform the watches and suit very well.

Very much enjoying the mildly-ironically-named "Spitfire" strap from Cheapest NATO Straps on the Dekla flieger. Some huge reductions on their site when I last looked (and even sale items qualify for the 20% off code if you buy 5 or more). The packet of half a dozen straps I bought was ignored by Customs. Which is nice.

**RustyBin5** · 15th January 2021, 15:58

The omega nato really suits the railmaster

It's always difficult to find after market straps for odd size lugs. Stapcode now do rubber dive straps in 19 and 21mm. Got a blue 21mm one for my Oris Carl Brashear bronze, the bronze buckle fits too.

That I like! Off to google now to find a 19mm one for my SLA039.

Been looking for the best NATO, to suit my old SMP. I think the Haveston A2 Invasion is a good fit.

Posted this on the Sinn thread but I think my 103 Klassik looks perfect on this Bulang strap.

**boring_sandwich** · 21st January 2021, 14:39

For anyone interested the Rubber B Subc (gridlock version) fits the Explorer 214270 perfectly and allows full use of the easy link.

Big fan of the zenith Colin, though I can see you putting it back on the bracelet soon!

That Zenith is beautiful. Top quality watchmaking. The strap looks sharp too. Can I ask the make?
