I'm so in love

with my Sea-Dweller, XXX
Been together 20 months now, and has been on my wrist 24/7 but have been searching for a thick leather strap to change it's character. Been looking around the www but not the same as viewing for real, but at last this morning found a Hirsch strap from Ernest Jones that is just right for me and only £30 too. Feels & looks amazing, just had to share with fellow watch enthusiasts.

PM toshi on here, he makes straps like that (probably better) in any colour combo, many types of leather, and gives a pretty decent warranty

On the flip side, a NATO does stop your watch dropping off if a springbar fails, however often that happens...
A GGB looks a tad more sturdy than a NATO for a tool sort of watch:
(Ideally I'd redesign the buckle & match it to the watch finish - matt or low-lite - and put some sort of keeper on it too, but maybe later in the year).
I've put my Explorer on a Toshi but wouldn't bother with a NATO - it doesn't seem to go well.

Great watch but wronger than a wrong thing on that strap
I'd probably agree, but if the OP likes it, then nothing else really matters. But then again, I wouldn't put a watch you get free with 10 litres of petrol on a "NATO".
