Colin t - nice 176.007 - post a pic of it with the black strap please - blue stitching should match v well

I've eventually found the perfect strap for my 70's Seiko 7000-8000. It's a Di-Modell Bali alligator grain:

Seiko Cocktail Time, old version, on a Dark Blue leather strap from Breitling. The strap has a matt finish, and it is usually paired with 20mm lug titanium models like the old aerospace but I think it works beautifully here.

Little shot trying to capture the matt finish.

Love your Explorer. Where did you get your straps from?

I don't imagine this is the 'perfect' strap, but it nicely replaces the original. Alligator, chestnut brown, thin and subtle. I would have had to wait months for a replacement from Omega.

From the Belgium firm 'Lic'.

I really like this! Is there a name for the outer track of the dial? Not seen one with such numbering before, restarting at every hour marker.

I was looking at this model earlier today. And a dark blue leather is exactly the strap I’d choose for it. That’s pretty much perfect for me. Must resist buying yet another watch...

I'd been looking for a leather strap for my Black Bay when I managed to obtain this hand made leather strap from Triumph coupe.....lovely

Yeah, that works

**electorn** · 13th March 2018, 17:55

I think this works? It makes it look more utilitarian and takes the emphasis off the lugs, in my eyes anyway!

Once the thought's in your head... resistance is futile!
Seriously great watch for the money though. I don't think you'd regret it.

Re-waxed an old Horween Toshi and decided to fit it to my '74 5513. iPhone camera doesn't pick up the brown and makes it look almost black!

**bigweb** · 15th March 2018, 15:48

Will be controversial but I love this at the moment.

I like it - but I'm a sucker for grey suede straps anyway

**RustyBin5** · 16th March 2018, 10:19

Thought this was perfect

but tried this on and I think it's also perfect

Not usually a fan of the camo style straps, but strangely that one works perfectly to my eyes.
