A Timex Easy Reader is a universal strap recipient. I'm vaguely honoring Blue Monday for #strapalooza with another discontinued ofrei.com non-NATO. You know, they have that Perlon style adjustable buckle and no separate keepers or excess length.

What a great little watch. I could be tempted, if it wasn't for the fact I love my weekender. You do have fantastic taste in straps though 👍

This is the 35mm T20041 that must've been discontinued several years ago. I still see examples on Walmart shelves and dissuade myself from picking up a spare.
I have this exact same model and love trying it out on different straps. My favorite variant of the Easy Reader by far.

Yeah, the serif numeral ones rub me the wrong way. I am constantly tempted to go full old man and get an expansion band for it. The one that comes with such a band has blocky railroad digits, and the lugs are oddly less polished.

The fact that one little crown adjusts time, day, date, and turns on Indiglo always amazes me. Never mind that the middle setting is incredibly vague and sloppy.

Also owned that model lol, just in gold. Gave it to my brother awhile back. The railroad dial is cool but not as sleek and looks sort of out of place on the gold toned version. The expansion band SUCKS. Your arm hairs will thank you for not doing it. Also a total pain to take links out if you have to. Mine was always slightly too big and slid around on my wrist.
