    Just to re-establish my credentials as a critical, here - a new arrival Ultra-Chron on an EO.

    That's a mighty fine looking watch strap combo, congratulations.

    I have just bought more watch straps I dont need.

    A whole batch of CNS paratrooper straps which are ideal for my 3 fixed bar hand winds.

    I like these staps a lot the security of a NATO with a single pass,they are comfortable and you can easy cut them down if a bit to long to tuck under.

    On my Smiths a 18mm anthracite colour which suits the militay style,as its 100m WR its ideal combination near water.

    On the Precista a khaki/green with a bit of not to bright colour.

    Not necessarily my favorite watch, but I think it's my favorite combination.

    Is the lume as good as they claim?

    I only have this watch to speak of, but I think it's pretty darn good and goes for a fair bit into the evening. By morning, it's typically still there, dim but visible.

    I'm fairly certain the Lum-Tec name came from their original company when they were reluming watches and then that turning into watch design/assembly.

    Parking this in the sun for about a minute and then stepped into the hallway.

    Could do with a little inspiration...
    Picked up this Rotary on a BF sale. I intend to wear it in rotation with my other pieces, and was thinking of changing the strap to something a little less "formal"
    maybe a different colour or pattern...

    Cheers
    Steve.

    Can't tell if the strap that's on it is black or dark blue, but a lighter, brighter blue could look nice.

    It's a glossy black. It's not bad, just a little too formal. Blue sounds good.

    Now happier with this one.

    Always thought the original strap, though very nice, was far too thin in relation to the case thickness.

    In brown and a thicker strap really seems to work.

    Proof once again that there’s not a sports watch in existence that doesn’t look ace on an EO!

    Sorry people, but a bracelet I must include.
    This Uncle Jubilee has totally transformed my Tudor BB GMT.
    Can't remove from the wrist these days.
    Awesome.
    No more rivets, ever.

    That's not a bad combo at all,
    as you have Preemptively apologised you may get away with the bracelet
    I had a BB GMT and struggled to find something 'perfect' and it's now long gone.
    I still have this Hirsch curved end strap which is no longer needed in my box, if you fancy trying it? I'll happily sent it on

    Ian, what a lovely gesture, much appreciated.
    However, the jubilee will be staying with the watch as I love it so much.
    Many thanks for the offer though, and enjoy the rest of the festive season.

    I do like this combo, BB Harrods (despite historic issues with that name) and Erica’s MN classic…

    A couple of custom straps arrived for my LW,
    Possibly not for everyone but perfect for me. Orange python and blue stitching.... I'm dubbing it 'The Lando' and a brown Ostrich for smarter occasions

    I think this Barton gingerbread nato is a good match up with my Seiko Flightmaster.

    I'll reserve the (excellent) rubber for the holidays.

    Yep! I nearly so many times bought that strap for that watch! I think if I did it still be in my collection!

    Works perfect

  49. #3099
    Thank you, Lewis! It's a lovely watch, and the strap is a good match. Annoyingly, the strap (being a used purchase) is a little short! I'll get over it, I'm sure!

    I have an orange EO with a white stripe which is a better fit. I should root it out!

    I think this sailcloth strap with tan stitching compliments the Meraud Antigua perfectly.
