... straps chosen for the Aquanaut. Agree with you with the last set. I regret I can´t stand the original rubber straps. Well, any kind of rubber as a matter of fact. Thank you for your good wishes and I wish an excellent week end as well. Cheers! Abel

yellow Simona’s are to die for, dear Abel! And surprisingly the Aquanaut works also very well on the black strap!

I´m happy you approve those straps for the Aquanaut too. Take care and have a nice week end! Cheers, Abel

on this Dutch beauty, very rare combination. I get as many questions on the strap as I do on the Watch! Best to all, Tim ...  

Would love to hear the stories you have on this strap. Moreover, I would to see more pics of this awesome strap in different lighting conditions... Excellent!!

I always look forward to fall/winter to break out my extensive collection of custom leather straps. This one is my favorite due to the wrist presence it provides. May I present my distressed leather “Bund” strap mounted on my favorite chronograph...a ca. ... 

This may be the first one posted on this Wristcan, outside of my fake pictures, my dear Sire.... A modern sized Breitling deserves a good sized Bund distressed leather strap, no? Thank you for posting. Awesome!

straps are one of my favourite topics, because they are changing the character of the watches. Without much further ado, here are the pictures, my mates: Oystrich: ...  

Why the heck not? Sublime, it is, the combination of case color, dial color, and then strap color of the ostrich. Makes me think of honey color tones, maybe I need to grab a bar of gold also, This is another holistic piece that connotes both funky and ele... 

Used to have one on my Reverso - loved it!

I've a ostrich strap on my Reverso from nearly 20 years ago. It's developed it's own patina over time Cheers JML

...  

JLC has a special place in my heart, seriously, that calf color and the elegance of the Reverso case is just so classic and timeless. However, DAMN!, that Ming!, the case color, case texture, unique markers on the dial. NOW, add in the supple calf strap. ...

Best, hs

Your wrist and case, are so freaking lucky to have the awesome straps you acquired. The rustic and quasi-aged look of the strap with the great blue dial of the Moser is a combination I am not sure I will see in this lifetime. Okay, then I'll settle for pi... 

I remember some of them coming with some lovely kudu leather

Well played

Well, the Habring has polished steel numbers and indices...

Alright, the Minerva is quite lovely, in a traditional elegant sense, I can see myself wearing it to an opera with some pretty dapper chaps... The Habring... yummy yummy, the texture and color of the strap is reminding me of blueberry pie from Maine, add ... 

The blue or the brown?

Hi Ted and friends ! Choosing straps and bracelets can completely change the way your watch looks and give it a new burst of pleasure. Just a few examples of indulging in this sport ;-)) ... Panerai always springs to mind Have a great weekend Best regards...  

Re, the PAMs, I am def going with the light honey colorish straps as my first choice, I am in need of a little "light" relief. However, the black strap you have paired with the gin is lovely in a simplicity sense, pair it with a dial that has not wording ... 

It’s fun to play with the straps and completely change not only the look but the feel of a Panerai. The black strap with the Gin photo was very enjoyable ;-)) Thanks being a great host this weekend on WristScan. Best wishes The Captain

I see some winning shots here my dear friend! Have a nice week end my dear friend, Abel

Panerai will always be a special part of my collection partly because you can have much enjoyment deciding on the strap choice. Best regards The Captain

The Gin shot was good fun 😉 Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Apologies for the failed photo upload with my initial post. Here it is mounted on my prized 48mm vintage Breitling Chronomat. Frank ...  

Seems like you are ready for the next flight or flying adventure... The aged look, if I can call it that, means its no fuss and ready for business... Great!!!!

I actually have a second “Panda” version of the same Breitling Chronomat 0818 that also gets mounted on the Bund occasionally that I like even more. This one is in NOS condition that was purchased from a deceased Breitling factory watchmaker’s estate havi...  

...  

Kind of reminds me of one of the Zenith bracelets... Reminds me of these housing type structures I seen somewhere, oh, I don't know where, but these structures were memorable... And you have it in a tripartite in one photo. Superb!!

These Seikos are certainly quirky and fun!

That is such an awesome story, very happy I heard about this story, and learned about this bracelet.

...  

Bring in the big gun PAMS.... The first pic seems to show you have some serious diving gear that is coupled with some lovely supple leather straps, those straps look mighty sturdy. Loving the assortment of straps in the second pic, all the straps seem to ...

Now that is an assortment of straps... Seems you have one for every occasion. Favorite for me is the leather strap currently on the Tudor, the color and texture fits the watch so well....

This watch is currently at Tudor to repair a scratch on the bronze (that I had done) and it will come back from service with a new oem strap!

...  

Wow, how long did it take you to acquire all those straps? WOW.

The rubber ones 26mm are all for my Garmin and are not expensive so I ordered all the available from Amazon! As for the others sizes, most of them were similar story as I was trying new strap instead of getting new watch to change things around...FYI this... 

And stop giving money to Bezos 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pigskin Really adds to the vintage vibe!

Hi How about see through straps Really like like my emas as it's a very different take on the dive watch look. My 20 year old yellow jelly - probably the watch I've had most comments about. Cheers JML ...  

See through straps!!! Freaking cool... Jelly strap? what? I had no freaking idea... Love the unconventional! Splendid!

You can always rely on Swatch to have some left field options! Cheers JML

And what about the last strap, it is a ladies strap, isn’t it? Yours, Adam

Is that a Fitbit?

i wear my watches on my right wrist and my bracelets so on the left , i really like this band since i can check my cardio etc. however i never check the time on it if i ve a regular watch on my wrist .

I like to wear mine in green leather too though my set is not so beautiful as yours. Croco is a gorgeous material. Fantastic looks!! Cheers! Abel ...  

During the journey to find the most authentic strap I had the pleasure to meet some of the great strap artist out there and talk with them about straps. So much too learn. And the journeys goes on and on. Today I have a nice straps collection which I keep...  

You literally have all the colors and kinds of straps I can think of for a Panerai. My favorite, personally, by far, must be the strap, in the first pic, on the Panerai to the left. I think I have seen you take that one in the water and put it to "task." ... 

As they are kind of thick and done out of good and old leather, they handle that quite well ☺️. Enjoy the rest of the Sunday

Some great examples you share here. Keep enjoying them so much! Cheers! Abel
