Yeah, I agree - I started to be rude about some a while back in the thread, but it's a poor sport, and not helpful.Originally Posted by tobywatches
Often, it's a great watch, and a great strap, but a poor pairing. But if you can't say anything nice... :)

I think anything that overpowers the watch head is a poor combination.
Overly thick, parallel cut leather straps on standard watches is something I just don’t get, on a Panerai they can look great, most others they don’t. Same for colours that clash with the face colour. e.g. black dial with a tan/ light brown strap.
Still I know nothing about good taste.
Most OEM Panerai straps are 24/22, and not too chubby. That's the way to go. I usually wear 24/24 Dirk's, and again, not too thick. But the strap arms race led to some chunky monkeys!
Remove ‘prefect’ from the thread title and all will be well.
For paragliding: Seiko Explorer with elastic natostrap.
I know two tone is a polarising style choice for many but I just love it on the Alpinist
I love this watch but since it arrived on a VERY shiny navy croc strap ive been on a mission to make it as casual as I am.
While I was pondering options I came across a burgundy bulang on eBay and thought that even though its not a colour I would usually go for it might look quite warm with a blue dial as I tend to go for cooler colours generally.
Anyway, I think its very successful, although I foresee it being on a more muted colour soon enough as some a grey suede plonked through the letterbox this morning.
^IMO a light tan strap would suit that nicely. Suede perhaps.
This shouldn’t work and doesn’t in the photos but I really like it in the flesh:
I really like that.With the sun making (eventually) an appearance this morning, I've swapped the Boldr onto an orange Ritche canvass...

My fkm fluoro waffle rubber from aliexpress is the same as watchgecko or strapcode (49.99$). Only it costs 7.99$. Interesting, the other models are also the same.Watch gecko fkm waffle is highly recommended
Looks like watchgecko and strapcode have a good profit on these...

Amazon have the same strap (different buckle) for £20 with next day delivery too
Not $8 but still cheaper
Maybe not perfect, but OK, I think! Vintage Nappey ...
YES ! This brown strap looks perfect!The second Hook Strap from Wednesdays arrival curtesy of Nick Mankey Designs
The brown suits the PRS-29AM IMO.

This modded Seiko 5 has got a suitable leatherstrap now.
Look at the finish along the edge of the yellow version, really rough compared to the black. Not the same at all!My fkm fluoro waffle rubber from aliexpress is the same as watchgecko or strapcode (49.99$). Only it costs 7.99$. Interesting, the other models are also the same.

Summer is finally here!
Well played sir!Pink is the new black!
Silicone 2-tone on Damasko DC80 today - very comfy and nicely made, and the quick-release clips are appreciated.
I like that, is it a Seiko OEM strap?Summer is finally here!
Finally found a nice genuine 16mm Hamilton buckle for the Hirsch which now completes my KPPM
New 16mm left, old 18mm right that came on the stock 18mm NATO which I never liked. If anyone is interested in the Canvas strap with the 18mm buckle let me know.
No, I bought it quite a while ago along with a blue version but can't remember where. Sorry.
Natural pairing
Diver and perlonstrap black&white.
Humble Seiko5. SNK371. Blue-yellow matching strap.
I think this works pretty nicely with the bezel. Cheapy "vintage blue" strap from Gekota.
Cheap 5 quid rubber just for a bit of fun. Not so sure

857 UTC on Watchgeko Zuludiver rubber nato. Brushed hardware is a good match to the case and slightly matt finish on the strap works well with the dial. Smells nice too.
A trio of Nick Mankey arrived this morning. Loving the first.

Golfstrap!
I love everything about this! What model is it?Pink is the new black!
I had three new straps arrive yesterday, all with a watch in mind
I think this one works well, a buffalo rally strap. It’s a nice counter to the shark skin I wear on my other 903.
I think this one also works well, a grey rally but in cow hide this time
I am not sure about this one, it’s a plastic / rubber type strap, I want something different to the Bund on my Heuer Bund, I am more than happy for suggestions on what people think would look good on this one?
I must say I have never seen you posting a watch I don't like to be honest, these two sinn are stunners! I have seen part of your collection on an SOTC thread, impressive!I had three new straps arrive yesterday, all with a watch in mind

Not a very original suggestion I suppose but I think a canvas strap of similar colour would pair perfectly with your sinn!
This strap is nice but the texture looks a bit odd imho
Love the black rallye on the 903!
Thank you
The green strap was (I thought) a rubberised canvas when I ordered it. I think a green canvas will be the way to go.
