Can I ask how much that costs and is the orange a slightly pastel orange or a real vibrant punchy orange. Hard to trust a photo image. Wondered what your real life take was on the hue .

That's a really nice match!

I had this one twice, pairs very well with blue natos indeed!

I'm pretty happy with this one. It's not quite the perfect size at 1mm too narrow but the overall look is exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need some posh do's to wear it at!

This goes pretty well with an Erica’s.

Happy with my EZM1 on a Bulang Rallye.

Looks great. Am kicking myself for not buying one from Francis and Gaye. Tried one before Xmas and ended up returning it, but think I’ve talked myself into giving it another go

Well bizarrely when I put it on SC I had no interest. Decided to keep.

Mmm, now uploaded it looks more bronzey but it's deffo red.

That combination is perfect, and the photography is sharp, too. Thanks for posting!

Robbie your watch photos are as impressive as your other work (on Instagram)! Nice watch as well

[robbiekhan]

Thanks folks! I've always practised photographing everything from objects to people rather than just focusing on one area. For me I find it helps as each genre skill aids in another one way or other.

Great watch, strap and pics!! I’d love a strap like that but can’t find one that tapers 22/18.

Tapered does seem to be hard to come by, I have yet to see one either!

My new Tuna was supplied on a rubber strap. I bought an MN elastic strap for it, which is light and so practical. But I always seem to gravitate towards a bracelet. So just received in the post is this straight-ended Miltat that does the job perfectly :)

That looks like a fitted strap the way the shroud hides it, looks good

[Robsmck]

Fitted a Micah canvas to my 720. I think it works, and is super comfortable.

Im obviously biased...! I think this looks great though?!

Thanks Neil - I was a bit unsure whether it would work, but it's well covered by the shroud.

Nice combo, where did you get it from

Question to those who hopefully will know the answer

I would like to try a curved end rubber strap for my Datejust 126234 which has a 20mm lug width.
Now I have only found one that would fit the older 116234 model.

What makes a strap unique to a particular watch. If the lug width are all the same?

Many thanks

The height of the case between the lugs, whether the case angles up towards the dial or not, and of course location of spring bar holes differs and is on a fixed location on a rubber strap often. Hard to explain. Easiest way to understand it is to try to fit one that won’t fit. You would soon figure out why

I guessed that there would be some logic to it. LOL
I have been tempted to get one of these, but don't want to pay the price up front without knowing!

Finally got this back on the Forstner flat link bracelet. I detailed in another thread an issue I had with the stretchy links becoming stretched out after two months. Forstner USA were kind enough to send out a whole new replacement bracelet! I could never get a good fit on the OEM strap, but this one fits perfectly, and I think suits the watch perfectly.

Bit boring to show an OEM strap but it just looks great to me

There is literally nothing boring about that watch, nor are you going to find a strap that suits it better: killer combo

Thanks. Indeed they are great VFM - even if they take a while to arrive.

Turns out the lugs in the Citizen are 23mm (why 23mm ?) & no amount of jiggery-pokery would convince the quick release spring bars to play ball. They were a bit fiddly to remove, but the strap fits nicely with the OEM 24mm spring bars.
