Burn him!
Recently-arrived Tudor-style shark's-tooth weave single-pass from Watches Etc* is proving very comfortable and a great match to the Dekla B-uhr:

CWC canvas. Arrived attached to the Mellor-72, but I'm liking it on the Air Ministry.

Keeping to the Smiths theme. I think this wears very well on the ostrich.
Here we go, Octopod strap from zuludiver
Wears like an MN. Elastic is quite thick in a good way.
Has a clasp and relatively easy adjustment loop approach. Maybe for some the solution to a problem that didn’t exist but I like it. Watchgeko do a rubber strap on a clasp, also one of my favourites.
Currently on sale at 68 quid with 5 straps, extra ones Ł10. Not cheap but happy with it. I suspect any cheap NM strap could be carved up and repurposed on the clasp.
Comfort is similar to other bracelet clasps. I’d say not as comfortable as a regular MN though which are pretty wearable.
Clasp size suffers from the strap not tapering and me having small wrists! Here are the dimensions (of the clasp).
Width - 25.3mm
Length - 49mm
Thickness - 6.2mm
As I say, somewhat of a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist but I quite like it.
/edit - should say that’s the 22mm strap version.

This has been my favourite over this summer by far. My 5212a on a blue suede with offwhite stitch.

'Perfect' is a strong word, but I am thoroughly enjoying this MN-ish strap from 'cheapestnatostraps.com' - model name 'Brixton':
New strap arrived from Two Stitch Straps for the North Flag. Great quality and promptly delivered.

Nice bit of black and tan.
Bartons watch band. Simple, reliable and good looking
I’ve been meaning to swap the bracelet off my B-1 for the warmer weather. I’m looking for a sailcloth in grey, but I had a 22mm admiralty grey Zuludiver NATO in the watch box …
Quite pleased with how this turned out.

I also got around to sorting my holiday watch - removing the bracelet for something better suited to hotter weather. The initial intention was to put it back on the OEM rubber, but I found a nice blue Nato in the watch drawer…
All set for my hols

It started life as the SNE499P1, but it’s evolved a bit since then.
