Barton strap; much more comfortable and pliable than the original and looks rather nice as well.
Arrived home to find some Tudor style NATO straps had landed from AliExpress…
Pretty good for the price IMHO.

Very nice. Also reminds me that I haven't worn my Alpinist for a while now, need to dig it out!Originally Posted by RAT2410
A nice bit of tweed for the Alpinist

Enjoying this FKM-rubber / leather hybrid on the Traser P99 very much: surprised me how slim and supple it is, rare for hybrid straps IME:
£18 on ebay.
Dial was screaming out for matching strap.
I have a croc on the way too.

A real mix of styles/utility, but I like this combo - I've put my 7806 on an Erica's strap.
Octopod.
Multi elasticated strap.

I like this combo - chocolate brown Bulang & Sons on my 105-012 65.

Ahem:
Ha. To be fair, I think it's black, but the black/navy difference on these straps is very slight!
That's a nice one, Paul, but I've already done enough up Erica for bits of expensive elastic! As it were.
- yep, fair-enough, their prices are surely some kind of assault on the wallet region!
Dammit it IS navy. Ah well, I only noticed when I put it next to a truly black one!
This arrived last week and imo suits the “ Tool” watch look.

GAH! Now I feel guilty for pointing it out
I enjoy this combo for some time now ;)

My Squale has gone from this
To this today
It might have to grow on me as a combination

Bremont Bamford now on Military Green Isofrane with DLC RC buckle - much better!

PVD 44mm Panerai faux luminova numerals, white branding and a khaki shark skin strap with PVD OEM hardware!!!!! Doesn't get much better!!!
That does look like a great combo. I have history for buying black watches, realising that I like them in the hand but not on my wrist and selling them for a loss but the urge to buy a black/DLC Luminor is strong.
I’m liking the Delugs rubber CTS strap.
Simple but very pleasant.. Hammie on a Horween Derby 2 stitch strap.

U50 Hydro & Cuda Isofrane copy.
Just received my new Toshi made from a limited edition goat leather. Beautifully soft straight from the off, and the usual brilliant craftsmanship and service from Rich.
I think it’s a great match for the anthracite dial and silver sub-dials…

Been living with a couple of grey rubber straps on my recently-acquired gen 2 Monster:
ND slicone -
Plain silicone -
Both are really nice quality for silicone, good colour density and neither act as lint magnets. I gave both a good scrub in hot water to remove any mould-release oil and chemical residue.
The ND accommodates Seiko 'fat boy' springbars, has better ventilation and tucks in closer to the watch head for a seamless fit. It's also arguably a slightly more authentic choice.
The plain strap is better shaped for the Monster having a wider 'flare' (to 26mm from 18mm), has a much better quality buckle, flexes better in the corrugated part and was half the price of the ND (and is now reduced again to just over £5!).
Very pleased with both, but also have a black FKM in broadly the same style on its way, so we'll see what wins-out in the end.
The black FKM arrived yesterday, lovely quality, heavier and thicker than either of the silicone straps, so also a mite stiffer and less comfortable, but not by any means uncomfortable. Feels like it'll survive the next ice age...
Just over £15 from here.
I think all of these work:

You could get that same one in blue, use one part from each and have a pepsi trap too.I think all of these work:

Very nice combination. It’s a strap profile, leather finish and colour that I really like. Do you mind sharing what it is? Thanks.Thanks Raj, although I've now defaulted back to this...
That has actually crossed my mind!
I’d love to see it!
Seconded.
In my opinion it’s better than the OEM.
Very comfortable.

Very happy with this strap on the PO
I thought I’d try this on a newly arrived grey suede (for a bit of a change) …
Not bad IMHO

A trouser-matching NATO from… I forget. One of the American suppliers. The Watch Steward or something.
Lovely quality, but NOT the perfect combo.
To be honest, I am really after the perfect rubber strap but frustratingly I cannot quite find it for this piece.
Tried a seiko waffle and tropic, but did not wow me. Would love a fitted but nobody makes one that fits (some of the Zealande and high end makes might, bit to expensive to just have a punt!) or one of the NDs like Earl’s above - but the wider-than-the-lugs thing wouldn’t work on this I don’t think.

I've not tried one myself (yet), but have you looked at YellowDog straps for rubber natos? Does nato/zulu styles as well as tropic, rally and standard natos. Customisable too as each one's made individually I believe.

Have you tried Sinn?
I recently treated myself to a Doxa rubber strap, got around to fitting this aft. and having a play around.
Black rubber on 600t
IWC style rubber on my Oris.
Both look spot on to me, Doxa rubber is very chunky though.
Love that Oris! ^
Thanks earl, I don't wear it a great deal but when I do it puts a smile on my face, I'm liking this combination
Took a while to arrive, but the new Erika's is a winning combination!
After a few years(!) searching - I finally found the GS rubber dive strap of legend.
Made mostly of unobtainium, plus some silicon rubber, with the same brushed and polished Ti clasp as the watch case
