I just don’t like QR bars and can’t be fussed trying to remove them.
I do fancy a green fabric strap on it though
I've bought a couple of these Croyde two piece canvas straps, very impressed with the quality and colours, the army green would suit that Sinn.

You might have seen this video, it's a very quick and simple procedure.

Cheers, yep I know how to remove them, it’s just I have an irrational dislike of them, plus they tend not to sit deep in the lugs and with the 155 this will mean there are annoying holes which would bug me.
I appreciate the time taken to suggest an option though
Thank you.
You're welcome 👍
Cream dial, beige strap. Seiko SNK803 mod "Expedition" (aka Smiths PRS25 Everest Expedition)
Finally worked up the courage to size the rubber strap. Looks pretty good I reckon
Here's a couple of photos of one of my Seiko 7A38-7260's I took last week. Teju Lizard strap. The perfect match ?
You couldn't choose a better matching strap! Congratulations!Here's a couple of photos of one of my Seiko 7A38-7260's I took last week. Teju Lizard strap. The perfect match ?
Mako II. Maybe not perfect, but combines very well...
I'm enjoying this combo

Couple of recent tropic arrivals
Seiko SNK371 and perlon blue Eulit strap!
Maybe not perfect, ... but with tropical Eulit-strap, due to high temperatures, here in Greece!
PRS29 and black-beige strap.
SNKL07 blue and beige. Matching colours.
You can put this in the perfect or not so perfect category. It’s a brand new Whisky Toshi in 22mm that I ordered and now don’t have a use for. I think the colour match with the watch is perfect but is too narrow for the wire lug width.
Might be a little Marmite to some but this combo is giving me a lot of joy...

I’d say it’s not marmite… just alright - But it’s your watch …do as you please

I think this one is from Vietnam....

Recently bought some new straps for my BB58
First a Vanguard curve ended rubber strap.
Secondly, 3 straps from Luff Straps
Two are the same colour - vintage James Bond, though they connect differently to the watch. And also one which colours, too mind are similar to the original BB58 NATO strap

I had a strap made for my 'Toki' with thread matching the dial - rather pleased with the outcome.

That is quite lovely; 'perfect' in fact
Indeed. One of the rare ‘perfect’ combos.That is quite lovely; 'perfect' in fact

Thanks guys
That was unexpected. The Rolex dealer gave me a new gold link for an Oyster bracelet , it was a bit tight. Anyway, no charge..,and they cost £500 so that was decent.
Austen’s in Chichester,
may I ask where did you get that strap from? waiting for my Toki as well... this looks greatI had a strap made for my 'Toki' with thread matching the dial - rather pleased with the outcome.
Perfect and apt
Apologies Tommy, only just spotted your question. It was Veblenist in the US.
I forgot I ordered a Jean Rousseau strap. It arrived yesterday (holidays got in the way). Thought it was black but it turned out I’d ordered the blue. Fitted it to a BB58 blue. Shade of strap matches the dial pretty much exactly. Stitching (white) reflects the sharp contrast of the white markers and text on the watch head. Really comfortable too.
Only downside is I don’t have an 18mm Tudor clasp so it has an omega buckle for now. Will see if I can fix that later (if anyone has suggestions please let me know).

Bergeon spring bar tweezers (expensive) or simple spring bar tool (6767-f I think). Use electrical tape on the lugs and be patient!

Looks very nice
Tudor BB58 is the #2 strap whore behind the Speedy. So many possibilities.
One of the nicest combos we'll see in this thread.
This looks good to my untrained eye
Excellent combination

Not sure it’s perfect but it is definitely a strong look…

Lol 😂
I know you would pair it with a 26 mm pull through from Italian Army:-)
FTFY!
