Love that ^ . Somehow double orange isn't too much on that, and I love rubber that fits the case with no gap. I tried an orange ISOfrane on my Doxa, but it was just too much orange!

Looks good, and i’m not normally keen on orange straps.

I’m really tempted by a Samurai, I like the case shape in particular.

Thankyou.
I have 3 Samurai. All great watches for the price. Also have 3 CrafterBlue. Very nice rubber straps.

Opinions? I have never worn a leather strap but ordered this drunk, after reading a review about it.

Some nice choices in the thread. And to contribute, I recently picked up this Haverston canvas in 22mm for my Damasko. Thoughts? (Sorry for the awkward angle in one of the pics - it's the back of my wrist!)

Sorry for the blurred pics!

If you remember your post sale comments (Thanks, BTW) on TtC's SC thread for this, I've got a vested interest in this looking lousy on your Damasko. But, I have to admit that I think it looks even better than I predicted it would on that --- Looks Genuinely Great to my eye. I think it might even look better over time with the inevitable fading to a lighter shade of Khaki Tan and edge wear, etc., so you might just find yourself liking it more, not less, the longer you own it ..............DAMN IT

I'll add that, even though I've never actually had the chance to examine one, from the pictures these Havestons seem of very high quality manufacture and in that sense fully commensurate and fitting paired with a premium tool watch like the Damasko

**Lostgear** · 24th July 2019, 17:50

I have tried this strap on a few watches but think it works with this IWC best.

Thanks for the comments! Yeah, sorry - I think it's about perfect.

It's heavy, thick, and well made - good metal work, too! Hated it until I realised that the tail could fold under easily!

Rather liking this P&C combination at the moment.

**Sinnlover** · 25th July 2019, 11:27

I was never much of a fan of the original strap that came on the Cruxible which resulted in me not wearing it much.

However this strap suits it perfectly, but it would do as it’s a similar strap to the strap the original A11 came on.

This is a good combination with fixed bars.

**ollipekka** · 3rd August 2019, 12:51

this should go to the perfect jacket + strap + watch thread i guess

The strap is one of those cheap noname leather straps that dealers put on a watch after stealing the original buckle.

**markyboy.1967** · 6th August 2019, 21:01

I started wearing this again on rotation after fitting the Pavstraps Kudu strap, so much more comfy and different enough to make it more interesting.

Thanks - I wasn't sure if going for such a bright stitch would be too much, as I wouldn't usually contrast the strap & stitch too much.
But the matt black leather & stitch colour really match the dial & bezel.

A guy I found on ebay - he makes incredible straps from vegetable-tanned Italian leather, for very little money.
He has custom made me quite a few straps this year.
PM me if you want his details.

I'm really liking this aged tan ostrich strap on my JLC. The ageing has given a lovely dark tone, and the contrast white stitch is really suited to this piece.

IMHO, customs straps, which dont need to cost a fortune, is the way I am going recently. I can choose color, texture, thickness, pattern,...simply the best. Better to order few the having 50+ different models some of which I dont even wear...

Here s one for vintage Alpina
