That is lovely - BIG step-up from the usual rivetted fare

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.

Two can, in-fact, play at this game -
Watch Steward 'Original Series' Marine Nationale- style strap - I really like the contrast.
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!
A bugger to photograph, and after I'd tried, I really wish I hadn't bothered!
Black GGB Velcro on a recently acquired DA47.
Predictably for me an erikas - well several actually. I guess I’m a fan
Mustard premium NATO from The Strap Tailor working well with the blued handset.

Not sure it’s perfect, but quite a fan of this

Barton lookalike aliexpress; a perfect match for a dark blue dial and pepsi bezel imho
Not sure if its perfect (a little to long), but enjoying the GS Diver on a new GS rubber strap and buckle.
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
The best Omega ever produced. Beautiful!

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

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.

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…

Looks great, have you got a bronze buckle on it too?

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...
