    Anyone got a pic of their GMT Master II on a strap?

    I've just picked up a lovely GMT Master II (16710 Coke) and will be getting a strap made up soon to alternate between the bracelet. I've got one or two ideas or what I'm looking for, but I'd love to see what else is out there.

    Please post up your pictures of alternative straps.

    Thanks in advance :)

    I have a black w/ red stitching Di-modell Chronissimo for my GMT, matches the coke bezel quite well.
    Also since the strap looks notched (it's not, its a wider peice under the main strap), the transition from case to bracelet is nice and flush

    Thanks Endo. Looks like we're in a minority :)

    My 16700 lives mainly on a black rallye. I also like it on a black Perlon and when it has a black bezel, a variety of NATOs.

    You can see here that the holes in the strap sort of echo the plots on the dial.



    Past experiments...

    Thanks for the pics Uriel. I thought there'd be more members with theirs on straps. We must be heretics :-)

    I think you might be right ;)
    My neighbour always gives me a look when he sees the GMT on the leather strap... but then he's a die-hard Rolex fan boy.

    Still not as bad a reaction as the time i put a Jubilee on a 5513 for fun :)

    Was thinking of trying my Pepsi 16710 on a dark blue alligator, possibly with some of those custom end links, but in the end chose not to as I thought it might look a bit clownish.

    So tried it on Eddie's newish navy NATO and felt the clearance between case and springbar was too tight. Which surprised me, as it's the same case as a Sub and seen a million pictures of them (and GMT's) sporting NATO's :-/
