On the love for strap pairing, my current storage solution, what is yours?
As many of you, strap pairing (and chasing for that matter) is integral to the journey. I was lucky enough to stumble across an old strap case from the pricey French leathercraft brand, Camille Fournet. At 42 slots, the case has tamed the chaos surrounding my ever-increasing pile, in fact, it has made strap pairing a real joy, boy do I like to change a strap. My nato and other unruly bracelets are kept separately in three separate pouches (18, 19, 20+22). Now that you know more about my system, can you share yours? How about strap pairing? Are you more of a fit-and-forget on that front?

Very nice. I need something like that. Good job
Mine are in the soft pouch with the extra leaf in the middle. They're mostly in wrappers and labelled up for size and watch if they're specific.
I’ve purchased zippered watch cases from Amazon with elastic loops inside. They are pretty useless for watches but excellent for straps. https://www.thetimebum.com/2019/02/my-best-watch-storage-solutions.html
I use the same 8 slots + 1 zipper pouch as you in the last picture. They're great and only $3 on Aliexpress. I have a separate one for my 22mm, 20mm and 18mm straps in the rotation, each with a different color to tell them apart without opening them. The bracelets go in the zipper compartment, protected in a plastic bag, as well as a few spare springbars for each size.
And far too many NATOs not currently in use shoved in a shoebox under the bed. 😂

Like you, I enjoy changing out the straps and bracelets of my watches. Cheers! 🍻
I have a series of pouch like you have where I put straps sorted by size. One for travel. And one for mo specifics strap to a watch. It does work great.
