Strap Combos for inner peace ✌🏻

Yesterday I finally found the strap combination I looking for for so long to complement my Seiko Speedtimer. I tried several different straps for it and got really close but was never fully happy with it.

After my latest watch purchase of a Vaer DS4 Solar I recieved this black rubber strap and I tried putting it into my speedtimer. And as the quick release clicked into the holes also did it click in my head.

It’s Color and Style fit great, it gets really close to the case in between the lugs which I really like and also the strap is very soft and has a great weight which balances the watch perfectly.

I finally achieved inner peace ✌🏻 😍

What is your favourite non-factory watch and strap combo? I’d love to see pictures of such combinations 😍

I pretty much never keep owt standard, customising your pride and joy to your tastes is a very satisfying part of the hobby!

On an Artem Sailcloth fad at the moment, bought myself one for Xmas and was so impressed I've got 2 more since 😂

I struggled with this watch before when I had them as well but unfortunately for me I traded it for something more special…

Strap is spot on IMO. But to be fair it would look great on quite a number of straps.

Inner peace ✌️

For me, you can never fully enjoy any watch, unless it's paired with the right strap/bracelet. Searching for the perfect partner is part of the fun, ain't it!.👍

Looks great

It does! I have multiple straps to change but this one is by far the best to my taste 👅

With that white dial, it can wear lots more! I have other straps for my white dial Timex Waterbury coming up. Can't wait for each of their turn on rotation.

Most definitely. I tried multiple different colors (blues, greens, yellow, red….) it looks great on all of those. Just not perfect to my eye. 😋

But the versatility is one important part of why I love this watch so much

Great looking combo! The panda colors of your Seiko Speedtimer makes it a real looker on various straps 🔥.

My favorite non-factory watch and strap combo is my Bulova Hack.

New:

The best part is it’s also much more comfortable with the bracelet bec I could not get the original leather strap to fit my wrist properly despite the strap being quite soft.

The original black leather felt so "old", this rubber fits great imo.

I just put my solar Speedtimer on a simple one-piece black nylon and it made me love the watch so much more...

That particular Scout colorway works amazingly with so many straps. It's such a fun watch to play around with. 👍🏼

Very nice. Too expensive for me though.

Absolutely. I was on the search for a strap for my Tudor GMT, years really, and finally found the perfect pairing. I had to lighten the load on this fat boy and jettison the bracelet with the stupid faux rivets. Tudor for the love of gawd please abandon this terrible bracelet.

I got one from house of straps, that lasted for a few months, then a bunch of leather/nylon ones from Daluca, Strapcode, Strapsco, Crown and Buckle and nothing lasted for more than a few days, until finally I got an FKM from ZuluDiver and a sailcloth from Finwatchstraps. I love those two and will probably not change.
