The 40mm Everest on a 22mm Ribbed Nato, does it for me.
Just for all you Moonswatch fans out there…
A nice strap addition from Ali Express for £4.10
Cannot get enough of my 560 on a mid brown leather strap
3.5 months later the Nick Mankey arrived today. Gives the FXD a quite different look to the blue EO I also have.

Simple but classic
Shark skin on a Navitimer style watch
When Sinn released their new T50 range, they also introduced a couple of new fabric straps in black and olive-grey. Available to buy separately in 20mm and 22mm lug widths, they feature a heavyweight, double thickness nylon ballistic fabric, and immediately struck me as well-suited to the now-discontinued 75n range of chronographs.
I ordered directly from Sinn in Germany, and my grey-green strap arrived today - just 3 working days later. I have to say it's everything I hoped it would be. Quality of finish is good, and the double-thickness suits the heft of the 756 Diapal much better than flimsier straps. Always pleasing to have the correct signed buckle on a strap too.
It's expensive with international postage - £57, plus whatever UPS are going to slap on top (at a guess ~£17), but then, compared to the better-known brands it still looks fair value. I love this barely-there kind of colour, and to my eyes the strap looks like it could have been made for this particular watch -
Comfort-wise, it'll need some break-in time, but it's not uncomfortable. Naturally hole placements yield either a slightly too tight or slightly too loose fit, this being true of almost every strap I own... The fact it is a 2-piece instead of NATO or pull-thru means the watch head isn't pushed-up higher than its already considerable 14mm thickness. It came supplied with a couple of really good quality springbars already in-place and, as already mentioned, an appropriate 20mm signed buckle.
Nice that. I’m getting right into the old canvas straps at the moment.
(Anyone advise on cleaning them, btw? I have a leather-backed one so can’t just washing machine it!)

I’m loving my Sub Ceramic on Black rubber
I clean all my straps the same way - leather included - tepid water, gentle scrub with handwashing laundry liquid and a soft toothbrush, good rinse, pat dry with a clean cloth, leave to dry slowly.
The leather ones I treat with some clear shoe wax/polish once they're dry.
I love this colour on my 422

My bad.
You're doing good thread. No crap on this page so far.
I recently received this from verv and she was good enough not to include the Pollocks. Thank you.
I post this in order to re-establish my credentials as judge of your strap crimes.
Blast from the past... (thank you google...)
Quite happy with this combo.
The colour looks good, the strap is almost identical to the rubber it came on originally.

Standard bb58 leather fits perfect on the Tudor prince date tiger chrono
Whilst not "perfect", by any stretch of the imagination.
I think this strap looks great , on my Cartier, especially in the sunlight.
The strap wasnt expensive....
Just £3.99!
Speedy on Burgundy Pigskin . Really nice combo.

PRS-53 on a khaki green RAF style CNS strap.
I also saw and handled a genuine Omega 53 and Omega 56 AM today both on nylon straps.
This chrono looked terrific,I have never seen a strap like this before perfectly fitted to the design of the watch.
Side on its like a wedge of cheese tapering down to the crown hence the cut out in the strap.
I loved the watch but at £10,000 was to heavy for me.

Got one of those arriving today!
Not sure about the green, but I'll have a look in the strap box and see what suits it.
