To paraphrase Lerner & Lowe
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter or fall,
No, never would I wear a strap--at all!
For me, it's all bracelet, all the time--gold, platinum, stainless, titanium; I much prefer the metal on my wrist skin to leather, rubber or cloth of any kind.
I had a thread about this several years ago, and was not surprised that many disagreed. Summer is particularly consonant with metal bracelets. Thank you for asking.
It is summer, so what is your favourite way to attach your watch to he wrist? ...
In most regions of the Earth, "summer" means (relative) heat, sometimes high humidity, with people spending a lot of time sporting, or simply outdoors. Of course these conditions differ between Earth's equatorial regions and its the climatically more dece...

I know, for many watch lovers here summertime is bracelet time ...
... and wearing a leather strap during the summer months is an absolute no-go for them. I have tried that several times, but my problems are that a) sweat is transported away from the skin less efficiently if the latter is covered by steel. I feel that mo...
Hey, that's a cool strap!
Marcus, The 'sailing' theme strap is so cool! I think for the summer, a rubber strap works best. -MW...
I like these "Summer Divers"! ...
... did you ever think about adding an orange or red bezel ring? I was pondering if the bezel rings of the orange, red, yellow and conventionel version could be interchanged, and how that might look. Regards, Marcus
IMO, for the color combos...
Hello Marcus! I think that for color combos, yellow & red or Yellow & a dark blue works well. Porsche cars do the deviated stitching/seat belt/interior combo and it looks really good in those colors. I have to admit that Blue/White 'Sailing' strap...
Stick with bracelet ......
Hi Marcus, the most practical solution....rubber strap needs thorough cleaning whereas steel such more simpler.....summer here are hot and rain occasionally... Thanks... BHK9...
Well, but then ....
... is it possible even to equip this watch with a strap other than the steel bracelet? I thought that only the precious metal versions come with leather straps and this cannot be mounted on the steel version. Or am I wrong? Anyway, this is definitely one...
Right!in a way....i guess.
Marcus, I guess you are right...they equip the expensive metal in leather strap and steel in steel bracelet....this is their normal practise i guess.. 5712 are may be compatible,even if you get the steel 5712 its should fit well with the rg/wg provided le...
Umph, take it away, please! ....
... I really love that moonphase Patek! What a pity that the supply with the steel version is kept so (artificially) low, it is one of the few Pateks I would really like to own. Well, I would also take the white gold version, but I fear it is a bit too pr...
Great pic! But I assume you have ...
... the rubber/ti-strap as well? Regards, Marcus
Love this one, Tim
I even think I will end with one of those, too... The Blue Wave is just somptuous. Best, Nicolas
Things are not easy for my UNs
As the Freak Strap is special, indeed. And I already ruined the strap of my Sonata. My 3 other UNs are a bit in the same situation. So, I wear them, but I don't wear them everywhere. Actually, I brought with me 2 of my UNs: The Freak, and the Sonata. Will...
I bounce between these two
the awesomely comfy rubber strap And my idea steal rail strap. And if I'm feeling a little dressy out on the water, i'll throw this on....
Great! You also got this sailing nylon strap? ...
... apparently, it has been discontinued, what a pity. Regards, and thanks for the pictures! Marcus
yes
I picked this up last year after i saw yours. I love the nautical look but not really liking the clasp. I should have bought the buckle. Now I just need to get a strap for my GO sports evo impact and i'll be set.
I attached the UN titanium folding clasp from the rubber strap ...
... to the nylon strap. This worked quite good. Regards, Marcus
