Spaceview strapathon

[vaizki]

Ok so my Accutron Spaceview is not getting wrist time and it's clearly because I haven't found the right strap for it. I've tried it on NATOs, rally, tropic, black leather.. At 18mm lug width it's not easy to find something that looks great on a 8" wrist and the case shape kind of asks for something special. Some shots to possibly demonstrate..



I also have a green leather strap for it, but it becomes so Ssssupergreeen! that it's very distracting ;)

I was briefly thinking Orange Rubber with brushed deployant, to go with the seconds hand :lol: Not sure I could find one, and talk me out of it before I do.. Maybe notch something for an integrated band look? This is the watch of the future after all 8)

I suggest a fairly thick very dark brown semi matte with green stitching. Toshi has some for sure.

Here's mine on one of Eddie's canvas straps, a 20mm squished to fit. The olive drab seems to work quite well with it I think, so I'll probably get an 18mm version to try. Next to it is the 18mm carbon strap I had on before, the finish went well but the strap looked too thin (the raised centre of the strap made it look thinner than it actually is).

Orange rubber... that would be quite something!!! But a something too far :lol: How about a strap with orange stitching?

Have you looked at these http://www.watchworx.co.uk/pages/lwb/cl ... hstrap.htm :?:

How about a mesh? Because the watch already has some colour I think metal (bracelet or mesh) works best, and mesh is very 'astronaut', too... see pix of Buzz with his Speedy on a JB Champion...

I think you are onto a hiding to nothing on the strap front, shame really.

I also heard that there is very little value in these watches any more. The market has changed, you know how it is?

I'll tell you what. A big favour to a fellow TZ-UK member I'll buy your watch off you for £20 and I'll even let you keep your straps for re-use elsewhere.
