Blue alligator to pick out the colour of the sub-dial.
I don’t mind my Ming diver on its bracelet due to good balance and comfort, but it’s also not ‘perfect’. Decided to try perlon and wow what a difference. Great balance too.
Alas due to such narrow gap between spring bars and case (this is with curved spring bars too), NATOs just don’t fit. So I need some suggestions for thin perlon-esque thin alternatives. Thoughts?

The Haveston parade NATO is possibly the most comfortable strap I've ever worn.

Just arrived after two attempts at crossing the channel, a Rios Miami 18mm short. Reasonable price, nice supple leather, and unpadded. Perfect, because after a decade or two, it’s finally dawned on me that I can order straps that fit my wrist, and so not see the long end sticking out on the far side.
Have bought Rios Premier 1931 and an Omega Buckle, wanted a slightly lighter brown and this does it for me

Since picking up my GS this week I’ve had it on numerous combinations but I’m settling down with this grey ‘Tokyo’ from ACM. I think the textured strap works well with the very simple dial. I also tried to capture my Ultraman on a Watchgecko vintage that it now stays on. This busier dial looks better on plain straps I think. I’m happy with the strap choices but not so much on my photography!
Whilst I had my camera out I also tried to add my Oris 65, which is on an aftermarket Watchgecko NATO which has a nice gloss sheen to it to match the dial and I swapped out the dressier black alligator for a nice vintage calf skin on my 268.
Hope you like them. I Obviously had too much time on my hands today
Suggestions please on a strap for my Datejust, which can be used when swimming.
It could be waterproof leather like Hirsch or similar, or possibly a Rubber B or Everest, though I don't believe they do one for the 36mm DJ.
But it has to be blue in colour to match the dial.
I appreciate that it comes fitted on a perfectly good bracelet, but I do like my straps, and one that is a good all rounder.
If you don't mind QR I have one of these and love it.

Thanks again but I'm not paying that and I'm not keen on Eulit...
Not desperate, just saw it on your post and thought that'd be nice having spent a lot of time working there.

This Polet Okean looks best on its original pressed metal bracelet.

I think this is the best combo I’ve ever seen - I may be biased though
