Watch strap suggestions please

[AndyKH]

Hi guys, I have an old seiko divers watch. Blue face and blue and red outer ring. I've already been through 2 original rubber straps and the watch is currently sitting on a horrible bracelet. I'm looking at getting a new strap to liven it up a bit. I've been looking at red straps, black straps with red stitching etc but simply cannot decide what to choose. I'm looking for suggestions please guys!

A colourful Nato?

[AndyKH]

Is the Nato the fabric jobbie? Not my cup of tea at all.

[Hoofy]

I dunno, eh. Mister Smartypants with his 2 year old Omega coming here thinking he knows all about watch straps and what is his cup of tea and isn't.

You swine you!

On a rather random note, ive just won an ebay auction for 8 spare/repair watches. 6 of the watches look like crap but 2 caught my eye. they appear to say rolex on the face. I know ive probably just bought a couple of fakes but thought it was worth a punt for what I paid. £8.50. Will post pics when I receive them .

Cool! You really have it bad.

Link to auction page?

I do have it bad, really bad. I'm fully expecting them to be fake, especially the square one but the blue faced one looks like a Rolex day/date jobbie. The woman came accross as an old woman on the email exchanges.

The blue faced one looks like this to me.

I suppose you can use the bracelets on other watches.

[AndyKH]

Very True, I'll probably just re-list them if they turn out to be dodgy. Fingers crossed though.

[Hoofy]

I reckon you could get £2-3 for the leather straps and £4-6 for the bracelets.

Yeah little old lady with 1689 recommendations on her eBay account!

Good luck though!

Ha ha TAS1981, she may be an old steptoe type.

Well the watches came, believe me they are comically bad. They are so bad i don't even regret buying them as they made me smile. Ho hum.

On a plus note i managed to source 2 genuine Seiko bracelets for my watch, one brand new with tags and the other used but perfect for £13.50. New strap is on the watch and it's transformed it, so so pleased.
