Strap options
Hey Crunch community, I’m looking for some strap option ideas for my BlackBay 41.
Suggestions or even better show me what you’ve got!

I've used all of these on my 58. Don't have a pic of the ribbed green NATO on it for some reason so here it is on my Ranger...
Now all of those look really good, I wasn’t sure about a nato but they look good. I really like the B&J grey one.

It looks even better in that photo. That looks cool.
Any distressed leather also looks pretty nice on the BB!

I like the idea of a distressed brown leather strap, I’m torn whether to go expensive or is budget sufficiently good quality?

To be honest, I have had mixed success using budget options. Some have lasted a year only while others have lasted longer. I think if I buy again I would probably look for something more mid-tier in terms of price. I suppose it also matters how often you change the strap, i.e whether you are rotating a few different straps...I now rotate between 2 straps and the original bracelet on my BB58, and they now seem to last a little better.

Thank you for your thoughts, I think sometimes you do get what you pay for and that quality does come at a small premium. I am probably going to be rotating between original bracelet, nato and leather but I do want something that will last.

I would never have thought about pairing it with green but that’s nice.

Me neither to be honest. Then saw someone else do it. Contrasts nicely with the pop of red.

If you don’t mind me asking what make is that one, I like the look of the fabric as well as the colour.
