Here - my most difficult to photograph strap - a black Nick Mankey on my DC66 (available now on the SC!) For me, it works as there's no extra layer behind the the watch.
I can continue with that theme, Walter.Oof, I'll get my poison pen out ready!

You can’t bitch about this, surely
Tudor Ceramic on EO Black Ops with black hardware
Nope, no complaints about that at all! A very good combination!
Bumblebee alert!
Haveston canvas, anyone?

Well. I am going to say it is very very nice. I will be looking at interesting colours now. Thank you.Can't wait to read what Walter has to say about this one
You have probably scared Walter off for a while :)

Nice. It really brings out the aged lume, which I’m not usually a fan of but as a complete look, this works really well.Haveston canvas, anyone?

Hmmmmmnot sure about this, I think the Speedy is too big for a Bund.
Yep I like that.
My sort of combo.
Hmmmmm
Black and with the pad shaped would work better, IMHO -

Dressed down the 5205G onto the marineblue ostrich, and couldn’t be happier. Matches the dark blue gradient dial well, and picks up the white highlights nicely. Increases wearability significantly over the black croc.

I agree with what Mad14 said :-)
That strap is - a rare thing for this thread - is actually perfect with the PP
Many thanks guys. Here is a better pic taken this evening near sunset. Was a little surprised by how it turned out as the strap colour on the website (The Strap Tailor) was not quite the same colour as it turned out in reality! But perhaps for the better. Quite hard to capture the very subtle blue/black gradient and how it matches with the leather dye variations.That strap is - a rare thing for this thread - is actually perfect with the PP

I like this new arrival a lot. The 103 suits a strap, and having had it on a DiModell Rallye for a bit, I have swapped to the Sinn sand coloured canvas / leather. Like this combo a lot, although trying to work out if a deployant is a good idea or not.

I bought this strap for something that hasn’t fully landed yet but I am enjoying this combination.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Does this work? Ignoring the fact I have stuck a 21 mm strap on a 22mm lug, I quite like the matching warm golden greenness of the BB Harrods with an Erika's vintage strap. It can be adjusted to hold the rather top-heavy head firmly in place too. But is it trying too hard to match?

I think that EO/Tudor combo is OK.
Love the Sinn on the (distressed?) canvas and the worn out Rolex/NATO.

I like the stripe, actually.

Big thumbs up for all 3 above from me - especially like the Harrods on the Erikas

You would have nailed it if it were the correct width. Because it's not, it's a no from me.

Also switching around some fabrics today
Monster on a Hamilton Pan Europ leather is a nice combo
Ali express (Barton lookalike; great bang for buck...wouldn't be surprised this is where Barton makes them)
I did promise this Walter ;-)
The colour hasnt been edited, its THAT bright.
A full fledged attack on the senses:-)
Don’t mind pink or bright colours but that should not be allowed:-)
I who dares wake me from my slumber?
The Good
Filterlab's Seestern. I mean, the whole thing is a lot to take, but if you're going to have a yellow watch, you might as well have a yellow strap.
notenoughwrists's IWC chrono. It's on the edge of overpowering the watch but the whole deal is saved by the colour of the strap matching the fauxtina. I like it. I might ape it with my newly acquired Spitfire, as I like Haveston canvas straps a lot.
Toshi's pink strap on. You know what? I'm going to allow it. It's a very strong flavour, but there's no clashing, and it's a well-judged thickness. Any beefier, and it would have been too much.
paneristi372's GMT-II on a beat-up NATO. 10/10 no notes.
scooby's Panerai. I like the colour - it's bordering on being too thick, and I'm not sure about the raw edges but a nice colour, especially for the slightly aged lume on that model.
zelig's X-33. Fine. I had one of those, and the OEM NATO is great. I always wanted the bracelet, but that's just me.
spareparts' PP. I think that this is the best strap for your PP that you've posted recently. Good colour match - the stitching is a little industrial, but it's a good look.
helidoc's Sinn - super. What's the buckle?
bmpf's Tudor - doesn't look that big to me, I can still see a little gap. Great strap.
notenoughwrists again with the IWC chrono. Great. A good look.
j111dja's Longines. That looks great, I think. I would prefer a retro strap on a retro watch but that rubber brings a modern touch.
Jon Kenney again. Tudor>Omega>Breitling. The Breitling loses points for the non-mating hardware.
Hello, Jon Kenney, and you Monster. I mean, I don't quite know what to say. An attempt was made? There are some elements of the watch that are picked out by the strap, but overall, leather on a diver? (A diver that's not a Panerai?) Nope.
martyloveswatches's Seiko. Interesting, and good.
verv's Seiko - I love it. Back to my comments about Toshi's NATO - it's a clean sharp look, and the strap doesn't overpower the watch. Good.
The Ugly
bigvic at least has the decent to admit that he's not sure about his BUND. I am sure. earlofsodbury - better, but not good.
Carlton-Browne's Tudor. Hmm. Nope. There's nothing about the strap that relates to the watch. It feels like one of those kid's books where the boots. the legs, the body, the head, can be swapped out, so you can have a diver's helmet, a nurse's uniform, a soldier's trews, etc.
All in all, thread - a much better page. You really put some effort into thinking about your straps, and overall, you've made some big improvements. I'm proud of you all. Almost all of you.
Brilliant! You’re not wrong.

Finally managed to get the bracelet off my Zenith, strap came with the watch
Thanks!
It's a Sinn strap, so it s a Sinn buckle.

Yes, I think I have most of those costumes.

This is going to divide opinion, and that’s if I’m lucky!
I pity the fool that doesn't like that combo
left field choice but I regularly default to white rubberb on my 590. It shouldn't work but I do like it.
Indeed, I'm certainly in the 'like' camp.I pity the fool that doesn't like that combo
What strap is it?

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I had it made to order by Jacobstraps. Originally for the watch below. It has a heavy taper from 22 to 16mm which I think works well with more modestly sized and tonneau-shaped cases.
Looks fine to me. Actually, quite like it.This is going to divide opinion, and that’s if I’m lucky!
One Nato can give a good combination to my Seiko turtle!
