Not my watch, but loving this watch strap on a cheap Vostok
Has a Tudor vibe about it, the watch no one loves.

The Helsinki from ACM works pretty well on the polar explorer
I just had this hornback with gold stitching made for my Linde Werdelin Moon Tattoo. I'm rather pleased with it.
Top Cat,
Love that watch and the strap suits it perfectly:-)
New blue Barton rubber strap for the BB58 Blue, very soft and comfy, no smell. What's not to like for £20?!
New Joseph Bonnie tropic strap for the Seiko, looks fab with the watch and is super soft and comfortable. A big step up from the supplied waffle straps (which are actually pretty good but too long for my wrist)

Had the blue and olive Bonnie tropics on my Baltics and the are indeed superb quality and comfortable. Expensive, but well worth the price!
Had my Damasko DSub3 on Barton Elite straps for the last few weeks - and they are very good except for one thing: colour density. It's one thing that lets most silicone straps down - a translucent, washed-out quality to colours other than black - because pigment is expensive...
The £12 smartwatch strap below absolutely monsters it - it is not quite as vividly lurid as my third rate camera skills make it look, but it is as good as any expensive natural rubber strap and no pungent reek of fake-vanilla. It also has the clever and convenient spring-loaded clips for the springbars which means you could even use it with fixed bars if desired.
For those not smitten with ORANGE! as a colour, there's 8 others to choose from, mostly more restrained, but all limited to 22mm lug width: Amazon Link
Can't decide, think the blue will work well for the summer
Not that exact design, but this from the same source is close.
There's a spring-loaded tab on the underside of the strap which you pull back to clip the strap to the watch:
I really like this combination
I don't think that you can beat a Perlon Nato for the warmer months.

Bracelet clasp is a bit iffy on my TAG Aquaracer, so trying options until I can get it fixed.
Wasn't sure about this but I think it goes and makes it a bit more subtle than the yellow leather I normally wear it on.
That looks the mutt's nuts - well done. I know they're expensive but I've worn my Landmaster on little else since I got one.
(Sorry for the fluff on the dial!)
Isn't it strange how we all see things differently.
For a thread called "The Perfect Strap-Watch Combination" I look at about 80% of these and hate them.
Not a criticism, just an observation. My taste is just as good/bad as the next guy's.
Love variety of opinion and love threads like this. There are several stunners too...IMHO of course.
Enjoying this combination! One of TZ Pavs straps on my Seamaster. Yes I know it’s leather on a diver but it works in my eyes!
Wasn’t a big fan of the light brown alligator embossed strap that this came on as standard. Made it look way to dressy. Then I tried it on this Everest that I found in the drawer, and bingo (I think, anyway)...
