I'm not personally a fan of seatbelt NATOs but that is a good strap for the watch.
To be fair, there has been little on this page to draw my ire.
juusom yellow MO had my narrowing my eyes, and j111dja's Rolex makes me twitch, but the rest of you - good job.
Here, for the thread's approval. This will teach me to post a WTB.

The DS30 is delightfully slim and light, despite its 40mm diameter. On the Nick Mankey it's 65g.

The DS66 is an early one - later 66 models have a much more matte bezel insert, never mind the Mk1 dial. A bigger, heavier watch, of course, but the EO strap is a good fit, I think.

It's been on some of my other watches, so why not pop it on the Submersible.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cf9b69c4bf.jpg
Maybe not perfect but I wanted an alternative to the OEM which came with a deployant clasp.
Went for a Hirsch Ayrton but also considered the Robby.
Ayrton has a slight sheen to the carbon effect whereas the Robby sail cloth is more Matt. Initially thought the Ayrton would be the best option as it has the black stitching as opposed to the contrast orange.
After 24 hrs I'm now not convinced I think the Orange is a bit to bright.... Robby/Red now ordered [emoji44]

I like this combo of Haveston and Laco blaue stunde. The Buckle matches the beadblasting of the case.

Go-to watch in a decimated collection. But what a piece.
On a Diabolique strap.

This comes with a nato and leather strap but neither are particularly comfortable or suitable for around the pool so on goes a rubber B type strap from eBay.
Very comfortable, I’m happy with how it looks and much more practical for holidays.

That looks perfect.
I received some more straps in the post today,this one I ordered for my Pelagos FXD.
It isn't an original (obviously) but I like it for its comfort,multi adjustable and the look.

Last time I posted a Rolex here it was on the bracelet, and some people suggested that a bracelet wasn't a strap.
This, then, is for them!

I like my Dartmouth on Italian orange leather as a summer combo. Pops from the blue and white dial.

Hunted for a decent quality highlighter yellow Perlon for far too long.

They have a really good selection, will certainly be buying a few more of the Perlons.

Good summer combo
https://farm66.static.flickr.com/655...e33f693a_b.jpg
Both the Bremont and the Damasko are very good choices, love them both.
This arrived today, and I like it, but it might not be to everyone's taste!
https://i.imgur.com/TXIgtc7.jpg
I must admit I am not at all into bremont usually, just because I am not a big fan of their overly complicated design on the case and the different layers, which is very personal.
That being said that combo looks ace, and I would definitely wear that!
Even Walter gave his stamp of approval, which shows it was a good choice, and also that you’re safe for his next session of truth telling on the thread!
Unfortunately yes. The lugs are quite short which helps with how it wears as a 43mm watch but some straps do rub on the case. This is the only one where I notice it which is unfortunate because I really like the strap so dig it out only in the summer. Strap is too rigid for curved bars but I do have some on the original bremont leather strap so could try it.
If you want to try some Cousins 22mm curved springbars, shoot me your address, I'll pop some in the post tomorrow. (Second class - I"m not made of money.)
Since all of the orange FKM tropic straps seem to be the wrong shade of orange, and the Doxa rubber is almost £500, I thought this combo works as a good Summer option.

I swapped over from a NATO to a rally to lower the profile and see if the holes worked in the heat.
Love my Zenith.

Another vote for a Di-Modell Rallye strap. Looks pretty good on a 45 year old 5512. Extremely comfortable too and great in warm weather.

Might just be time to let the original bracelet enjoy a period of retirement.
CNS Paratrooper,I linked for you.

It looks very good on that watch.
My DS30 came with a plain black leather and I felt it needed a strap with a hint of colour to highlight the second hand.
I posted a WTB for a Damasko strap with stepped lugs I'd seen on the Damasko thread,
in the meantime I took a highlighter pen and modified a cheap double stitch strap I ordered online and was well chuffed with the result, almost perfect.
Today I received the Damasko strap thanks to my WTB and Matt (mj2k) and have to nominate it as perfect contender,
Damasko certainly nailed this one

Not sure if it’s perfect but it makes the watch very summery.
