Strap options

I've been brainstorming new strap options for my studio underdog. I like to have multiple ways of wearing each watch I own but i find it difficult to find cohesive options with how bold the dial is on the mint chip variation. I like this new strap pairing but let me know if you think it works or what other options you think I should try ๐Ÿ˜Š

Appreciate the feedback! It's a lot of colors and textures coming together so I'm still trying to brainstorm alternatives but I like it for now ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Def the pink ๐Ÿ™Œ

Would a lime green type canvas be too much ๐Ÿค”

It's definitely a possibility ๐Ÿค”. It's just hard to fit a bright green watch into my everyday life with the clothes I'm typically wearing. That's why I was trying the muted pink strap but I might have to give that a try and see how it looks ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

I usually hit Amazon when try to find a weird strap combo (hit and miss but at least itโ€™s cheap). GL ๐Ÿคž

Pink snake skin looks good on you. Matches better in my opinion with the dial.

ยท

It works. Might be a hard one to find, but if you can find a watermelon colored strap, that would really pop with that mint dial.

ยท

Another vote for the pink! I would rock that myself!

ยท

I actually like the darker brown, still in the same color wheel as the chapter ring on the outside, but a bit of contrast. I feel like the lighter strap disappears a bit with your skin tone? Also, as a change up, what about a nice light grey suede for winter months??

ยท

The pink complements the green dial extremely well, i find, whilst the brown, especially with the contrast stitching, works very well with the cream sundial and outer dial. I especially appreciate the texture of the pink strap! That said, are you married to the ideal of leather dials (especially for summer) or would you consider fabric as well?

ยท

Both looks pretty but the pink one steal the show ๐Ÿ˜ป

ยท

Those work or maybe play off the green dial or black hands

ยท

Salmon/Pink is the way to go.

ยท

That snakeskin is pure class! How about dark green? Ideally lizard or alligator in a rally style...

ยท

They both look good, and you can pretty much never go wrong with black

ยท

They both look great Taylor. No offense, however the pink may be more pleasing as it blends with your skin tone. The brown offers a starker contrast. It appears that you will match the strap with your ensemble, as you have done here. If that's the case they are both winners. Hope that helps.

Love it! Is the flamingo from hns straps? I have a polka dot and heart nato from them that were both killer and I think they had a similar looking flamingo one. Killer suggestions though ๐Ÿ‘

This particular flamingo nato was from CNS Watchbands. I don't think they have it anymore but the HNS looks like the same strap with a different stamp on the buckle.

The CNS IL California strap might be another good candidate for playful options!

Pink is great, try a watermelon red or red with a tint of orange in it, flat. With a bold or busy ish dial like this, embrace it and donโ€™t try to compliment it in a subdued manner, embrace the boldness and give it a bold strap.

If the dial only had one bold color or hint of Iโ€™d say try to pick up on that, but it appears to have a tip of red/orange, full send with the same color strap. Itโ€™ll be awesome, you just trust me.

ยท

I think a distressed leather strap would look great on this!

ยท

The pink strap is as good as any strap/watch combination I've seen. Superb fit for each other ๐Ÿ‘

ยท

maybe a mesh?

ยท

Some time back I had gotten this strap custom made - This color looks perfect with ur watch

Consider browsing StrapsCo. I've repeatedly had good luck with their large selection of color, material and buckle options at very reasonable prices.

They even have a clearance section that has yieled some incredible bargains. Happy hunting!

I think if you can get a Saffiano Leather Strap in a brown color that looks close to a waffle cone brownish tone, it might look and play with the mint chip theme (assuming it's mint chip ice cream). Saffiano Leather has a cross hatch pattern which can give it a bit of that waffle cone like texture, too.

If you don't mind playing up the miny green...I might suggest a mint green. Check out the Elastic Loop Mint Green from Delugs. It's inexpensive and looks to be casual comfy.

Lastly, a clean black NATO or MN Style strap with a thin light green center stripe (something as close to "mint color") would be a nice sporty look, too. Check out Erika's Original and look at the Black Ops with Lume color center stripe.

I think either options above may likely require a custom bespoke strap made to order. There are a number of good ones that shouldn't break the bank and might be worth it.

Classically styled chronographs look good on a Bonklip I reckon:

And on a Beads of Rice:

Might be a good change up from a strap?

ยท

I think you're on the right track with the softer beige colour. Nomos do some really nice options in similar shades - though beware: the suede gets pretty dirty pretty quickly.

Green nato. Neon green ๐Ÿ˜

Consoder a grey suede or nubuck. Could make the dial pop
