I’m trying out a new color combo today with my Explorer 40 on a grey suede strap. This is the first time I’ve gone grey so I will have to see if it brings me joy.

Looks good! I was thinking of trying a strap on mine - read online that the lugs chew up straps on modern explorers - do you find that to be the case?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. That’s an interesting question Art and one worth noting. I am finding that there is a sharp edge on the bottom of the case between the lugs. Essentially, the lip of the caseback seems to be cutting into the bottom of my straps (on the Explorer and my Oyster Perpwtual). It’s not something that’s a big deal since it’s not visible. But, I am sure it will create premature wear and tear on the strap.
