Need strap suggestions please!!!

Help, I love this watch, but the factory leather backed strap, which is great and comfortable, sucks for a watch with 200m WR. I want to use this watch in the water and on adventures.

I’ve tried NATO straps, but the strap going under the back makes it thick/tall and this 40mm piece is heavy and therefor gets too top heavy if not on a balanced strap.

I’d like a nice soft/supple silicone strap almost like the Turtle comes on or maybe a sailcloth Artem type strap. I’m open to colors and styles/types. Using the factory deployant is probably too much to ask. Interhorn is 20mm.

What do y’all recommend? I’m considering a genuine GS bracelet but at almost $1K I’m not sure that’s a smart move, plus I have another well known black dial sport watch on Oyster bracelet. I think they made a rubber/silicone in blue for the SBGV247 limited, which would work, but it’s a dark navy and would look off with the yellow and black.

Hey Brent, beautiful GS! Have you ever thought about a Milanese bracelet? I put one on my Seamaster 300M and I love it, got it from B&R Bands out of Brooklyn for about $40.

Great shout, I hadn’t thought of one for this piece, curious how it will look. I’m going to check some out, see what kind of buckle/clasps are out there on these too. I love them on Breitling SOH and Omega SMPs.

Thanks for suggesting something out of the norm.

Have some rubber straps from watch snob London and they are great. If you want to be fancy, I have a lovely strap from Nomad custom straps, mine is croc, but I’m pretty sure they do lots of different materials, like canvas too which might work great and still ok to get wet.

Looking at Nomad as I type. Even if I don’t get one for my GS I’ll probably order one for my Cartier Santos Dumont XL as they’ll do the metal end link inserts which is wonderful news. Thank you

Yes! I got mine for my Cartier Drive! It’s such an awkward lug width and I have a tiny wrist. Was so great to get one made for me. 🤗🤗
