Strap ideas please...

[JaseB]

I'm quite new to this strap swapping idea, I'm liking what I have so far but they do kinda look a little tame maybe!
Any suggestions to brighten up my options?

Nothing specific for those, but this place is a good:

Straps in all colours and materials at all budgets. Used them a few times and they're quick and reliable.

Also have a look at Watcgecko for some ideas:

Much appreciated, over and above the watch strap ideas I now really like the green Geckota G-01...

Longines on the green canvas looks ace!

Had a phase of wanting one of those a few weeks back , just think it would have been too big on me.

I had a chance to handle their watches at a fair last summer and was underwhelmed. They look good in the pictures, but were a bit budget in hand.

That's good to know, saving for a special birth year watch so trying to be good...

You have a good mix of bracelets and straps but no natos... That Longines would look great on a black canvas nato and a leather nato would be nice on the chunkier watches. Have a look at Zuludiver.

I’d recommend a Perlon strap, that’s my favourite at the moment.

Love a bit of Stingray, really comfortable to wear too.

[JaseB]

They both look really good and definitely out of the ordinary!

I'm liking these, quite fancy red for the Longines and tag and maybe blue for the Omega 👍

Can you recommend a quality Perlon?

I’ve got a couple of these http://isofrane.com/straps/
Black on a planet Ocean and orange on a Seiko dive watch, really comfy and smell lovely!

Yes I’d recommend EULIT which are a German company and the original makers of the perlon strap. They are on various websites but I acquired mine from Amazon (Holbens watch bands.)

Only downside you could say is that because it’s a one piece strap, there is a little extra tension on the spring bars. Not had any issues though and looks pretty cool. I have then palma grey one.

Fitted a red NATO to my little Tag, really suits a smaller watch I think, good shout
