    Odd question... But has anyone here done a submariner on a rubber strap? Or is that like not a thing?

    I have a 16610 I was thinking I'd like to try on rubber.

    (Sorry if already posted, haven't seen and can't be bothered to look back through every post!)

    Classic Speedy on a Dornbluth alligator strap with contrast stitching. I think it really works.

    A great combo for the bronze case (is it bronze?)!

    Few more photos

    Second one is lovely but the first one looks like it was designed for exactly that watch - lovely match

    Very nice combination, maybe just the lighting but suits so well.

    Sunday strap musings

    Rain stopped play on my outdoor jobs today so I took the time to play with some straps. My B42 has been on a fair few over the years.

    Following a WTB, forum member Slevin Kelevra pointed me at CN Straps where I picked up a couple of NATOs, a Tropic and a couple of MN style straps including this one:

    These two Cordes David straps both work well.

    Bonzodog prompted me to try a black Finstrap on my Nomos. I think it works well.

    I’ve had a genuine Eulit Perlon sitting in the watch drawer for ages. So I tried it on my modded Seiko



    By Jove ! I think I’ve found a great combo here.

    No idea why I hadn’t tried it before.

    Same strap, but courtesy of shop window summer sun, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

    Adds something prehistoric to the strap. Like it’s unconventionality in a relatively conventional model.

    Could have been made for that watch - great combo

    FWIW, I think that's a great combo - the grey tones really well with the overall watch aesthetic, less corny than matching blue

    Thanks. I did like the unplanned rad nature of alligator, which is arguably prehistoric, and something looking even more so on the other wrist.

    This is the Glacier Blue, so came with a greyish-brown suede strap, which will look better with a tan.

    So good that I'm cullling about 85% of the other pieces.

    I do like that. Vintage Panama or the newer Palma Pacific?

    According to my email archive it’s the EULIT Palma Perlon Strap - bought from WatchGecko … in 2017 !

    I didn’t realise I’d had it that long !

    Usually I think it doesn't matter what others think of a watch (if the owner loves it, that's it), but this one thread I think would be great with a 'Like' button as some other forums have.

    Since the person posting the pic thinks the combination is perfect, it would be interesting to see how many others think so. (It would also save me cluttering up the thread with lots of comments of 'really nice!'). There are some great combos on here, but also ones that I think 'huh' - and wonder if that's only me and others really like it.

    Do enjoy this thread though, one I often look at and get some ideas.

    Was in London this weekend so went into Chopard for a strap change. Id ordered the strap for the black titanium time traveller one as its bit more casual than the alligator that comes with the steel variant.
    Im really pleased with the result.
    It looked like kevlar online but it's actually a patterned rubber with a calfskin back and the grey stitch matches the night-time part of the 24hr bezel perfectly.

    I'll get drunk again soon and tell people off for their objectively wrong strap choices.
