1976 Timex Marlin.. made in Dundee, Scotland.

I originally had this suede strap on my Seamaster but haven't worn it on that in sometime.

What do you think (especially you @burntleaves ), does the strap suit the Marlin.. yay or nay? Or as we say in Scotland

Beautiful watch, the linen dial is so nice. 👌

Personally I'm not down with suede but that's one of the nicest ones I've seen 🖖great photo 📸

A resounding ayeeeeeee! John, as always, impeccable taste for straps - the texture and tone with the ‘holey’ details work really well.

A cracking shot too 🫡

Ah yes... the linen dial...

Imho, the leather suede with racing holes can work, but suede without holes looks much better ;)

Cheers Hakki. I'll probably take your advice on board when I get some spending pennies. I have a strap in mind 👍🏻
