Looking forward to a new style
Spring is coming and that means a new look and style for my watches because, unfortunately, I cannot afford to buy as many watches as I would like to.
Then I just realized how many straps I already own! And I am still looking to buy some more, as they are cheaper than watches 😉
How often do you give your watches a new style?

After almost a year on the BoR bracelet I switched back to a nato on my baltic Aquascaphe.
For some watches, I find the perfect strap, and they live on that strap. For others, I change the strap almost every time I wear them. It just depends.
I'm far more of a strap collector than watch collector 😉
Much cheaper & can drastically change the character of any watch.
Change mine often as you can see on my WRUW pics.
I recommend Watchgecko for top quality NATO's (better than my Omega one imho, thinner and less sharp spots on the hardware, & critically a sewn in buckle), and on a budget then the real deal, CWC are excellent, especially their elastic NATO's - really comfy and cheap 👍🏻👍🏻
I sometimes change the strap twice a week, I love seeing my watch on a different strap or bracelet, some times I hit a combination I really like and think to my self: this is it! I'm never changing that watch again, just to change the strap a couple of weeks later, happy collecting!!

I love Nato straps on sport and field watches, specially in Summer. Great choice there!

Now I buy quick release spring bars and those are a game changer for fast and continuous strap exchange.
