Quite happy with this combo. Tricky to find something that looked good and was 22mm at the lugs but 18mm at the buckle...

Yes, these are available. I think I have a link (no pun intended) but I’m on an iPad, will look later when I’m on the Mac.
Edit. These are what I found when I was considering some for my Datejust. Doubtless there'll be others, and doubtless a lot more expensive too!

F.T.F.A.
I've been drinking so I'll answer!
On this page, there are two objectively bad straps, three good straps and one that I can't decide on.
Topcat30093 is a mess - a sports strap on what's ostensibly a dress watch. A rubber strap, no less? Sure, let me wear my wellies with my suit.
gunner's Eterna is great.
neebsta - Panerais don't work on NATOs. They just don't. Panerai owners (and God knows I'm one) will spend as much on straps as they do on the watch, and Panerai know this, of course, but I've not seen a Luminor on nylon that didn't look like a dog's dinner.
RustyBin5 - spot on. That's how you do it.
ped - the jury's still out.
leo1790 - that Omega looks good. I mean, it's a "seatbelt" NATO, but it just scrapes over the bar.
Honestly, I've stuck my oar in a couple of times here with my half-assed criticisms, and most of the time I'm offended that the most milquetoast or left-field straps are considered "perfect".
The only perfect strap on this page is RustyBin5's Tudor. Excellent colour matching, and it's the right (sporty) strap for a sporty watch.
And ped, I've changed my mind. *Family Fortunes me-meh noise*
I struggled a bit when I got my Caribbean, I'm not a great bracelet fan, preferring rubber straps or others, so when I tried this Isoswiss, I thought it really suited it and comfy too.

This. Shame I can’t get the bastard to fit
This is the first time I have worn this in about a year, criminal really
I think the strap and lume match perfectly.
Simple, clean, yet slightly different.

Green one is £16 on eBay btw
Thank you. Now that I know it's a Morellato I can also get them from Watchbandcenter.com (and they have a 20/16mm which is what I'm after).

No problem, they seem like decent quality - I've had Watchgecko ones before (but they're 22/20 which looks quite thick now I'm so used to the 22/18 size) and these feel more robust with better sealing etc. I'll get the other colours depending on how well I get on with this one over the next week whilst I'm away. Show us yours when it arrives!
I think this Toshi strap works well with my Pancor.

For me this works great
Makes it look more toolish
I just love it
What is that abomination, Marius??
It’s a Leatherman Tread. It’s a multi tool for the wrist and if you need to only just be able to do pretty well anything, in a novel but inconvenient way, it’s the tool for you. I lusted over the idea of it to the point that my wife bought me one. I’m sure it will eventually prove its worth, but mostly it gathers dust. It’s a fantastic idea which manages to combine every possible compromise in an inelegant but extremely robust manner. Despite knowing this, I’m still looking at the pictures and thinking how cool it looks.
A Gerber Shard, on the other hand…

Thanks Matt
Could't answer better
I know....a bit of marmite but ...for some reasons look very nice to me
I gave up on it for a short while (travelling and not wanting to be stopped at the security check for that thing...even if it's TSA approved) but now it's back on it
I used to wear my Breitling SO Heritage 46 on it for years.
No one will see the watch but many asked about the bracelet
And it did came handy in a few circumstances
Not pointing anyone out but there are some absolute eye burners here…
