Best PRS-14 strap combo?

[gonzomantis]

After getting in my order today I started contemplating the best strap to go with it. I don't think I'm a rally guy. I'm thinking that maybe mesh or croco grain would be good.

I also browsed through the forum looking for ideas and stumbled across a great thread from Stoby with loads of pics.

So, what is your favorite? Photos?

[Jonmurgie]

Whilst deciding whether I should buy one again I found a pic of my old one sporting a Toshi in black with white stitching which I think works really well :)

A few of mine........

Sold this combo a few days ago. Omega 1171/1 bracelet.

[andy tims]

A know it's not a real PRS 14 :wink: but here are some ideas

[SternG]

I ordered the '14 on the rally strap, but I already have a Hirsch Carbon waiting for it :D

Stoby's pic, I hope he won't mind my borrowing it:

Mine on an ATG racing strap:

[dutchgray]

I have no idea what's best but I have Nato's, Toshi's, Rhino's ready for when mine arrives and am having it with the retro rubber as well. :D

[Kiki Picasso]

I think the Mesh and the Rally are two of the best looks for this, it also looks good in Brown :wink:

Anyway, mine will be going on a Toshi until an Omega Mesh is purchased

[IANAN]

Just ordered mine and a grey NATO beckons.

To say that I am happy it's available again would be a major understatement...

[Finch]

Sold this combo a few days ago. Omega 1171/1 bracelet.

well you´ve sold the perfect combo :shock:

my second choice would be the omega mesh!

Gave the 1171 some serious thought, but it's got to be the Mesh for me

Here's a few of mine, which by coincidence I selected to wear this morning, and on arriving at work discovered an email from Eddie telling me it has been re-issued. Currently on the ZRC rubber :

[JDB]

Di-Modell Waterproof Leather goes well, I think.

That's excellent, thank's for the comparison pic's :)

+1, some cracking combos there 8)

[Phil Lee]

My personal favourite is the Omega mesh. It is a quality bit of kit that fits right into the period design of the 14.

Hirsch Mobile Medici

Thanks for all the great shots. Was this Hirsch fairly easy to fit? Also, does it curve to the wrist well. I was looking at a Hirsch Principal, but I haven't ever had a leather strap with curved ends before. My wrist is on the slender side, and I'd not want the strap to overhang too much, if you understand what I mean.

The again, I'm anxious to try it on a rally as well.

Thanks again!

[Phil Lee]

The Hirsch was easy to fit. It has a removable square lump of plastic with two spring bar holes in which you can use to tweak the spring bar locations for different lug hole positions. Once you find the right position it is easy to fit.

Your photos are superb, and you just about cover all the options too!

Thanks :) I have a few more 20mm straps in my box of watch bits so can take a few more if people want. Off the top of my head, I have a brown RIOS1931 Juchten, a black RIOS1931 rally strap, a black RIOS1931 buffalo, a flat Timefactors retro rubber, a grey NATO and a TF striped Bond NATO.

Of the straps in the photos, I only have the Bond NATO, the RIOS1931 Juchten and the Omega mesh left. All the others went to new owners.

[Phil Lee]

Here are some more straps:

Timefactors flat retro rubber


RIOS1931 rally strap




Timefactors ostrich




DiModell Jumbo




RIOS1931 buffalo




RIOS1931 dark brown Juchten




Timefactors Bond NATO with a twist




Timefactors Speedbird NATO




Timefactors grey NATO

[para-dox]

Some great pics. Its a decision I have to make soon, after ordering a PRS-14 yesterday. All those strap combos look good, but it just looks so right on the NATO's, particularly the modified Bond and the Speedbird.

[SternG]

Too many combos and I like em all :drunken: :lol:

[WORKSIMON]

Too many combos and I like em all :drunken: :lol:

I'm not sure which I prefer, I may have to have a different one on each of mine :twisted:

[MurrayMint]

RIOS1931 rally strap


Timefactors grey NATO

I like these two the best. I don't normally get on with the large hole rally straps, but for some reason that looks just right.

[Kiki Picasso]

Mine arrived this morning with it's Rally Strap



Also just ordered an Omega Mesh and a Brown Di-modell Jumbo

[simonrah]

Black, Gray or Bond NATO; Toshi; Metal bracelet of choice, Timefactors Retro Rubber.....

Anything else looks horrible!

Sorry - just one man's personal opinion

[Phil Lee]

Toshi

I have to disagree with you on that one. The Toshi strap I had for my 14 was way too thick for the watch. Here's another photo to show you what I mean:

[Finch]

A question on the Omega, what maximum wrist size will the mesh fit
with out the divers extention.

Dan

I'd say about 7 inches, it's renowned to be on the small side.

The 1 inch expension is so cheap though, that you would be silly not to buy it as well.

[Kiki Picasso]

that combo really roxx Michael.

Cheers Miro :headbang:

[dutchgray]

That mesh is lovely, shame they are rather expensive.

[JMcLeod]

I always find myself gravitating to black leather straps..so the buffalo looks great

[Finch]

That mesh is lovely, shame they are rather expensive.

there are alternatives,if your wrist isn´t too big(7-7,5")!

cheers

[andy tims]

Have settled (for now) on this rather nice Di-Modell Imperator

[dutchgray]
