Saw that on another thread and reckon it suits it brilliantly tonally-speaking :encouragement:
Truth to tell there's not been a stinker in this thread for a little while.

I've picked up a leather strap and deployant, but until then, this will do!

Barton strap; much more comfortable and pliable than the original and looks rather nice as well.
Enjoying this FKM-rubber / leather hybrid on the Traser P99 very much: surprised me how slim and supple it is, rare for hybrid straps IME:

£18 on ebay.
Dial was screaming out for matching strap.

I have a croc on the way too.
A real mix of styles/utility, but I like this combo - I've put my 7806 on an Erica's strap.

I like this combo - chocolate brown Bulang & Sons on my 105-012 65.

Ha. To be fair, I think it's black, but the black/navy difference on these straps is very slight!
That's a nice one, Paul, but I've already done enough up Erica for bits of expensive elastic! As it were.
Dammit it IS navy. Ah well, I only noticed when I put it next to a truly black one!

This arrived last week and imo suits the “ Tool” watch look.

Just received my new Toshi made from a limited edition goat leather. Beautifully soft straight from the off, and the usual brilliant craftsmanship and service from Rich.
I think it’s a great match for the anthracite dial and silver sub-dials…

Been living with a couple of grey rubber straps on my recently-acquired gen 2 Monster:
ND slicone -
https://i.postimg.cc/MTZmw9Jc/Seiko_...t16Mar2024.png
Plain silicone -
https://i.postimg.cc/3JF4r1qW/Seiko-...18-Mar2024.png
Both are really nice quality for silicone, good colour density and neither act as lint magnets. I gave both a good scrub in hot water to remove any mould-release oil and chemical residue.
The ND accommodates Seiko 'fat boy' springbars, has better ventilation and tucks in closer to the watch head for a seamless fit. It's also arguably a slightly more authentic choice.
The plain strap is better shaped for the Monster having a wider 'flare' (to 26mm from 18mm), has a much better quality buckle, flexes better in the corrugated part and was half the price of the ND (and is now reduced again to just over £5!).
Very pleased with both, but also have a black FKM in broadly the same style on its way, so we'll see what wins-out in the end.
The black FKM arrived yesterday, lovely quality, heavier and thicker than either of the silicone straps, so also a mite stiffer and less comfortable, but not by any means uncomfortable. Feels like it'll survive the next ice age...

Just over £15 from here.
I think all of these work:

In my opinion it’s better than the OEM.
Very comfortable.

Very happy with this strap on the PO

I thought I’d try this on a newly arrived grey suede (for a bit of a change) …

Not bad IMHO

A trouser-matching NATO from… I forget. One of the American suppliers. The Watch Steward or something.
Lovely quality, but NOT the perfect combo.
To be honest, I am really after the perfect rubber strap but frustratingly I cannot quite find it for this piece.
Tried a seiko waffle and tropic, but did not wow me. Would love a fitted but nobody makes one that fits (some of the Zealande and high end makes might, bit to expensive to just have a punt!) or one of the NDs like Earl’s above - but the wider-than-the-lugs thing wouldn’t work on this I don’t think.
