Luna Replicas strap on 43mm Bulova Lunar Pilot

I wrote a few weeks back about breaking my drought by picking up a 43mm Lunar Pilot when a local AD got some black dial versions in and sold them for the equivalent of US$350. How could I say no? Watch people are happy to pay a lot more for it!

I knew before it even arrived that I didn't want to wear it in the bracelet. Not because it's a bad one - it's quite OK - but because I wanted to go full NASA-style velcro strap, half because I like the look on moon watches in a general sense and half because I don't have a watch in my collection on velcro, and it just seemed like a fun thing to do.

So after some searching around and weighing things up, I picked up the Luna Replicas strap* and... very happy. Looks the part. Great price. Feels good on the wrist.

No complaints! :)

(*They do an extra-short strap, too.)

Cheers! I've updated the OP with links to the regular and short versions of the strap now.

I also thought I'd post this picture as I've set it up in the less common velcro strap way, that allows the back of the case to still be seen - useful with this model as it has all the cool mission information on it.

Love it. I've eyed these straps before, and the Haveston HAV-IVA straps, but the LR straps look much more authentic.

I want it
