Watch Strap Suggestions

Daddy k

My eBay one came today.

Think it's great for £30. Well put together.

I'll probably soak it in some oil over night (lot of the rep guys do it with their straps)

That looks well nice that. What model of watch have you got? I've ordered the space grey and my only concern is whether it would go with that colour...or should I order another with the silver colour and any strap and just swap it out.

Are 42mm Sport with white/green/blue straps shipping sooner than June at the minute?

Mines the 42mm SS. (With white SS)

i ordered the 42mm SS with white sport band and a few other different combos of the 42mm SS, knowing id be buying lots of aftermarket bands anyway. So I just wanted any SS 42mm.

My plan was to offer the Sport, see how I like it and maybe get the SS version for Gen 2 or 3 and a third party metal strap like this one.

Does anyone know of any good straps that would look good with Space Grey model? Think this metal strap could pull it off?

Daddy k

I would add however I wish this strap had the micro adjusters on the clasp.

I need ideally about half a link taking out for ultimate comfort and no movement.

My thoughts exactly.

I really like my SG Sport, and I could live with the black sports band. However, I'm sure someone is going to come up with an aftermarket band that matches the grey aluminium case. The Monowear black metal strap looked hopeful, but the first batch I've seen doesn't match well enough.

ssbib

I'm sure someone will as well. Do you have any pics of that strap you're referring to?

I have seen that actually. Looks really nice but I think it's a pricey ain't it?

How easy is it to take links out of the eBay steel one? Also I've noticed the seller has £9.50 third party sports bands and other types too. You tempted to get any others? As I might!
