Been wearing my Damasko DC56 on a cheap black Tropic-style strap and enjoying the look and feel during the damp winter months. This put me on the hunt for a higher-quality take - hearing good things about FKM rubber I decided to try one of these from ebay seller 'alpine-watch-supply':
Very pleases with the results - done a fuller writeup on the Leather, Rubber & Nylon forum here.
I’d had this boxed up for months with the intention of selling/trading it… but couldn’t think of what I’d replace it with.
So I’ve popped it back on the Haveston & given it another chance.
Like having an extra Christmas present !

It was perfect for today’s dreary overcast and wet day…

Newly received custom made leather strap for the SeaQ. To me it really suits the vintage vibes the watch gives off.
Newly received Omega Nato

Took a long time, and I had to taste a lot of porridge, but today I finally got the Goldilocks grey I’ve been searching for to go with the Credor. What do you think?

Think this works pretty well, these CWC Natostretch straps are super comfy!

I recently sourced a lug on here for this... and sourced this nato as I wanted something black or grey but with the trim colour to actually match the aged lume on it.
I think they do also.

Posted in the MN FXD thread too but I like this EO strap combo

I’m not a fan of the original Speedmaster bracelet, so have fitted this for now.

The Seiko Speedtimer looks suitably '69 on this doesn't it? It's a ralle strap the fella who owns Straton gave me a couple of years ago. Not used it before but I think it's found a good home on this.

Green on green action?
I can’t decide if I love it or hate it :/

Where people getting the in vogue ribbed natos from?
I bought a couple from CWC - single pass too (if that's your preference). A bit stiff on arrival (ooh 'err missus!) but as per the recommendation of a couple of the chaps here, a few minutes spent twisting them softened them up noticeably. Including shipping they were £26 for two, which I thought pretty reasonable and the quality & hardware seems good (although I've actually not worn them apart from fitting them to see how they looked on the watch).
Thanks Andy
I was just thinking, it's been a while since I've been obnoxious. And there are some stinkers on this page.
I have a visitor until Sun pm - Sun evening, I'll drink some beer and have a pop.
And just to show that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to straps,
