Anyone recommend a strap for my £30 ebay buy?

[V8Wagon]

I picked up this slim old thing on eBay recently.

I've got an old watch that belonged to my Grandad that's an 'Excalibur' that no longer works. When I saw this one for some misguided sentimental reason I clicked to purchase it. Now it's arrived, I'm actually quite liking it. It is in absolutely 'as new' condition and has kept good time so far.

The strap is a bit iffy however (style wise), and I'd quite like something that is going to suit the watch but that won't be too slim (it is a very slim, smallish watch) or overbearing.

Any suggestions? Or thoughts on the watch?

It's a good looking watch........you could do worse......you might have bought a TAG...more importantly, it reminds you of yr Grandfather.....family is everything

Plenty of small watch shops who will out a nice leather strap on it for £10. Ish

Thanks Michael. Yes, I'm liking the simplicity of it. I'll take a look in my local watch shop....just conditioned to looking to the internet for everything these days :0

My similarly styled Jacquet Dros looks great (I think) on a black lizard strap.



or maybe a brown one?
