I actually have all three colours but wear them on my Undone. I used to wear a black dial 36mm Datejust on a black Hirsch Hevea rubber and thought it looked the dog's.
I had a Hirsch Paul (rubber backed leather) performance strap on a Longines. It lasted donkeys even with frequent trips through the shower.
^^^^^
Thanks Mark I was considering the Hirsch Grand Duke

Would it suit or be too thick?
This was another, that I stumbled across.
Though, I can't find very much information on them.

243 on my other new strap from Toshi. Not sure which I prefer.

I'm probably in an outgroup of 1 with this, but I am really enjoying this combo:
Colour and texture? Yes please!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I just asked on the Friday thread, what strap is that please?
And now answered thank you, I like it!!!!!
The strap was super-cheap but doesn't look it in the flesh and is very comfortable, the buckle not hugely more.

I bought this sub homage to remind me of the snowflake sub I used to own. It looked a bit too smart on the Steinhart bracelet but this MN strap tones it down a bit and works really well for me - looks, comfort and practicality-wise.

Barton hybrid cordura. Incredibly comfortable, a lot more supple than I expected.
Maybe not the perfect match but I think it complements it well!

That's nice, the colour gives the speedy a lift. Black & any colour would, I think, work too.

very much enjoying the black dialed OP on grey suede Gekota strap
Looked in the strap drawers to see if I had something other than the bracelet for this, I haven’t got much in 21mm but thought this worked?
New NATO for my Yema.

Think it works really well.

I have been looking for an alternative strap to the beautiful Jubilee bracelet which was waterproof and gave a leather pattern look and also complimented the dial.
And imo this fits the bill nicely
And to complete the effect, fitted it to this pin buckle

Putting this on a strap for the first time, love the look of it so far. Very comfortable as well

Finally got the speedy on a Nick Mankey strap.
Worth the wait

Thanks David, to me the colour of the strap perfectly matches the dial and I do catch myself looking at the watch and smiling
Here is the link to the strap, there is not too much information on the brand, but they do have their own website.
They are, imo, a bit expensive, and I did keep going back and forth between this one and the Hirsch Grand Duke, but it was the more traditional pointed end to the strap that finally swung it.
I used the spring bars that came with the strap.

Gilt dial Everest just arrived and tried it on the strap off my PRS-45, I think it's a winner.

Thanks.
I was actually a bit gutted it worked soo well. I had just got my strap cases and spring bar tool out. Ready to spend nice hour or so quiet time by myself trying different straps on, see what works or get an idea of what to get for it.
Put this one on first and was like,,,, oh well, that's that done then. haha. Didn't see the point of trying any of the others.

I’ve been trying to find a suitable strap for this for ages ...and today this arrived...
A lovely, soft silicone Hadley Roma MS3351 24mm with red stitching, which I had to source from Kentucky, USA.
It’s precisely what I’ve been looking for.

I think I've found the perfect combination for my DS30!
I'm not sure these pics do it justice but the pumpkin orange over black Barton Elite Silicone strap works so well with the 'yellow' details it has transformed the watch.
My DS30 hasn't had much wrist time lately and compared to my other watches it felt a little bland on it's basic black strap. I tried it on a grey sailcloth from Barton which looked great on a speedmaster on Instagram but did nothing for the DS30. In fact it looked so drab I considered selling it.
I'd heard good things about the Barton Silicone Elite rubber straps but they don't do a yellow so the closest I could get was black with yellow bottom. Part of the problem with the DS30 I have is that the yellow seconds hand and date wheel aren't actually yellow - they are more like a neon so getting a yellow to match is impossible. I always feel that matching a colour with a different shade of the same colour looks odd.
The black on yellow Silicone Elite worked well and I was very impressed with the quality of the strap but it still felt like I needed to go bolder. I very nearly went for the white on black to pick out the white indicies but I eventually went balls out on the orange on black and I'm so glad I did. The DS30 will definitely be staying in the collection.
