Custom canvas strap from Diaboliq straps for FXD. They come numbered. Mine is #1. Quite pleased with it. Don’t have the FXD at hand. So tried it out on this. Personalised FXD coasters as well:-)

Unimatic U4 with an Erika clone.
It's such a comfortable combination, sometimes i forget i'm wearing a watch!

Finally got an Erika’s Original for my PO. Very comfy and secure. There are 2 orange shades available for the centre line, orange and hot orange and I went for the hot orange which suits it well I think.

That does look good - I think you went for the right shade, too - it's not exactly a shy-and-retiring kind of watch!Originally Posted by Strebor

That’s a feast of orange. Must look into those straps. Love the orange border on your photo as well! It’s a cracking watch.Two can, in-fact, play at this game -

Liking this two-part 'seatbelt' woven strap on my Sinn U1 - £7.04 from ebay.
It's a neater, sleeker look than my crappy pics make it look!

Ta. It's my favourite strap match for the U1 since I got the thing - 3 years and rather a lot of straps ago...!
A bugger to photograph, and after I'd tried, I really wish I hadn't bothered!

Pav leather and canvas strap on my SLA021J1, maybe not to everyone's taste but I love it.
Wolbrook on a ‘Brutal’ Toshi:
Not sure if its perfect (a little to long), but enjoying the GS Diver on a new GS rubber strap and buckle.
In times of crisis, does that thing also turn into some kind of giant killer-robot?*

Arrived today from the very excellent 'ukwatchstrap.co.uk' - 19mm DiModell 'Imperator' WAPRO (waterproof in DM-sprecht).
I really like the supplied dark-blue rubber strap that comes with the SLA043 - it looks fantastic, and is top quality, but it's gratuitously long, gratuitously thick and gratuitously stiff, plus the steel keeper is annoying.
So I bought this - it looks fantastic, and is top quality, but it's a bit too long, gratuitously thick and gratuitously stiff, plus the fixed keeper is annoying...
When I say "stiff", it could probably stop bullets, and is so stiff I was worried it might snap rather than bend - despite me giving it an extra coat of soft wax and warming it up gently with a hairdryer!
Still, it looks ace and is very sanely priced for something so beautifully put-together, and it will ease-up in time.
I think this Aqua Terra goes well with the Speedy Snoopy Cordura strap in blue
I agree, that looks ace. I’m thinking about getting an artem sailcloth for mine now that they do 19mm.I think this Aqua Terra goes well with the Speedy Snoopy Cordura strap in blue
Got the crafter blue strap in yesterday and love it on the AT. The one above looks spot on too.
The best Omega ever produced. Beautiful!I think this Aqua Terra goes well with the Speedy Snoopy Cordura strap in blue

I think that white / silver dials look great with a blue strap. And with the blue indices and hands, that’s lovely
Note to self: I must get an AT

That looks stunning - I have the silver dialled AT with grey indices at 38mm diameter and would like to get either an Omega rubber strap or leather strap but seeing this strap makes me wonder if it’s available in dark grey etc too?I think this Aqua Terra goes well with the Speedy Snoopy Cordura strap in blue

At risk of sounding silly, what strap is this one as if it’s in 19mm, I can use it for my 38mm AT?Got the crafter blue strap in yesterday and love it on the AT. The one above looks spot on too.

Trying the ND sub on a spare 62510H jubilee. Im digging the look! Sacrilege? Probably.
A few more practice runs before I attempt to switch out the oyster on my BLNR with this.

Dear god no!
Don’t worry ; like I said, practice run before I do the same on the BLNR

As much as I love a Jubilee, that made me feel a little nauseous.

Here's something to settle the stomach
That Jubilee on a Sub made me experience the same feeling I get from thinking there's one more step at the top of a flight of stairs. The orange nylon is a great improvement!
I picked up this nato recently, very pleased with this combo.

Sinead was just singing on the radio as I took this, and confirming that no-THING compares to
a decent rubber strap on the GS.
(But not the massive weird genuine one - as it looks like Godzilla’s nob)

Looks rather good on a nato I think.
Apologies, I haven't been back to the thread since posting the pic but thank you for the kind comments. I think the cordura strap is only available in blue or black but couldn't say definitively. Omega boutiques are helpful with this sort of thing - I like the OEM rubber strap too but I just thought I'd try it on the Snoopy strap (I don't have a Snoopy, sadly!) and for me it works well.
Just removed the Speedy for the weekend & it occurred to me that the NATO might look OK on the X33…
Not sure about the green on the Speedy though…

Lovely looking watch and strap.
I'm not a fan of terms like GADA or 'everyday watch' but my first thought seeing this watch was, when I get out of my gshock for work phase, something like this nomos would be perfect.
Good review here:

These two are weird lug sizes so bespoke was the only option.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
This Toshi / Pinion combo works well IMHO…

Thanks - Yes I re-used the Pinion OEM bronze buckle.

Posted elsewhere just now so excuse me but surely this watch on an admiralty grey Phoenix NATO is the epitome of a perfect combo (though I must admit, despite nearly throwing up at the idea on a Rolex, somehow an 18mm strap with a lug gap looks kind of ‘right’ too)

Finallt found the perfect replacent bracelet for the sarb035! Uncleseiko president.
I bought.it for the baby alpinist but it doesnot convince me there, but on the sarb it.just goes really hand in hand and also fits perfectly on the original sel!
It just oozes properness.
I have to find the milled clasp mow...
