How often do you change straps?
With many, not all, of my watches I’ll change bands almost every time I wear them. Some never, but I lean towards changing often. When I buy a new watch I’ll buy with the bracelet if an available option and like a 20mm lug width so I have a lot of options to swap from my collection. The Speedy is the definition of a strap monster and I’m finding this CW is too, even my BB Pepsi GMT has a lot of options. What do you think? What do you do?

When I want. Right now I’m waiting for my Delugs for Tudor to let the bracelet a little more time off :)
I change straps more often during summer time.
What’s the difference between C and D?
Typically seasonally. Bracelets come off, straps go on. Summer rubber for winter leather.
I personally just love my straps the way they are

The intent is you don’t want to v. not capable.
Certain watches find myself changing the band than the other ones.
All the time whenever on rotation, except for 2 watches.
