Strap Swap

That Tortoise 🐢 though 🔥🔥

Yup, I love it when it works like that.

I know the feeling. I do shop for specific watch in mind, but often it ends up in somewhere else.

Yeah, it’s my 2024 purchase and I love it!

Looks fantastic on that strap, great piece!

It’s part of the fun I suppose!

Thanks! It was hard to choose between this one and the khaki/green one. But I love a good black and tan combo, and this one is just way more versatile.

Yes, it happen d to me withe last straps I bought.

I have the same green & red nato. Put it in many oh my searches in the summer. Love it.

Nice! It’s super comfy, and the only elastic NATO I have. Definitely need to pick up a couple more.

I did this by accident with a very similar strap to the one on the right!

It’s a CheapestNato paratrooper strap, and IMO it just fits well with my old (now broken) black dial Timex Expedition Scout.

A similar green strap looked good too because it just went with the black dial and orange second hand :)

Where’s it from? Looks a charm

It’s from StrapHabit. I got it for Christmas. Not sure how long it will last, but it seems decent quality, is plenty comfortable, and I believe it is under $20 on Amazon.

I can see that being a good look!

When I look at Seiko’s I always look at which bracelets are available because I have never purchased a Seiko with a bracelet I liked.

Thanks! They’ve been a fun couple watches to play around with.

I did a similar swap with a universal bracelet (bought for a Seiko Brightz Chrono) and a black leather band (bought for a Hamilton Khaki Field). Felt “wrong” until I swapped them.

I have done so before. I bought a red nato just to match the little red triangle on the bezel of my Tudor Black Bay 58 😂😂

Nice! Yeah it is always fun to experiment and see how you can change the feel and look of a watch, and consequently, your relationship with it.

Did it work out for you?

Both looking great! And nice Vaer!

Thanks! It’s one of my favorites.

It was a strapcident! 😂

Yes this. I got it for my Timex 72 homage and decided it looked way better on my Mickey Mouse!

That definitely is a good look!

My Orient Commuter Classic Teal came witha few options but I liked the bronze nato the best...

Then I bought some black n beige striped natos for my Casio Duro too. Outta curiosity I just swapped them around... Guess what happened? 😁

I love that Orient and those are some great photos! Definitely a different look on the striped NATO.

Thanks mate. Totally didn't expect the beige striped nato to compliment the watch wayyy better than the bronze nato... At all. 😁

Looked pretty good on my Duro too. 😉

That’s a good look too. Maybe you need a second strap to accommodate both watches?🤣

I know riiiight... 😁 🤣😂
