Thanks Walter, high praise indeed & has made my day, even my wife understands!
Nice one
Time this thread was renamed to "Occasional Good Strap Matches vs. Walter's Meltdowns" - the latter being the best content, by far :encouragement:
Cheers Walter, just squeaked in, and it's boring, but I made it to the good list so more than happy with that😁
That’s twice I’ve had an honourable mention by Walter, I’ll have a good root around the strap boxes for the hatrick…
The Doxa is a Caribbean and the Breitling blue strap is actually a pretty close match to the blue dial and thankfully it only say Breitling on the inside, unlike the black version I have.

Omega nato arrived today for the golf edition AT. Very pleased.

That would be fab :glee:
Totally agree about the speedy pollock Walter, ive taken it off and replaced it with a relatively bland but starting to fray nicely jpm canvas.
In the meantime ive snagged an oem cracked leather pam strap for the 190.
It's a pig to photograph but I like the strap on it.

It was previously on a Corrigia suede which I LOVE but think the double thickness at the lugs bulks it out a little and is probably better suited to a luminor case.

I do everything I can to accommodate your odd tastes, C, and this is how you repay me?
A leather strap made from tramp's shoes, a suede that's thicker than the watch, and an Omega wearing the colours of St Vals from the Munster Ladies' Senior Club Football Championship.
...not just the leather that's distressed!
Pretty straightforward combination. Speedy on a snoopy. Works!

That's a good match - like it.
Wearing this tonight, just to show that my tastes are impeccable.

The thread continues to improve - two excellent choices there, Andy!
I think this this is the first thread I have seen during my time here (10+ years!!!) that has made people make a “proper” effort.
One of the most enjoyable in a long time.

Some of you are starting to push my buttons again.

Plain black Rios suede.
I fail to see how this would upset Walter. Although, the gap between it and case is likely to irritate me as it's thinner than some of the previous offenders.

Just a couple of shots to maintain my impeccable credentials re. judging your nonsense.

After trying a few other straps ,I think the original suits this best

A Damasko and any nato is a good look but a grey nato is perfect
https://i.ibb.co/m54N8SW/0-BC16-DB1-...-E16406-F1.jpg
I'm not a huge NATO fan - only because of the extra thickness they entail - but that looks excellent :encouragement:
Damasko and Sinn tool watches look really good on grey straps in general; really wish I could get my favourite 'troffle' style of FKM strap in grey, but alas N/A.
As already noted, I'm going through a grey strap phase and to that end, this arrived yesterday:

It's a Diloy hybrid with grey-green Cordura upper and a soft calf underside - the quality is just lovely, finishing spot-on, comfort excellent and I love the faintly green hue to the grey which really suits the 756. Not expensive, either.

Not the strap I want to use and I do have a Pav on the way but I feel it’s a nicer watch on leather than bracelet. The case is a lovely shape and the dial a deep gloss black and both of those attributes are emphasised on leather.
