Made by your daughter and a cyberpunk vibe too!Slant wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 5:26 pm Favourite is the one on the Casio Databank cos my daughter made it for me years ago when she was a child around the time Rainbow Loom was in.
Least favourite is the one on the Svalbard. They say you get what you pay for, and I didn't pay much for this Lake House 2-piece before they went under. The cuts and finishing on that one is...meh. Love the one-hander the strap is on though.

Favorite and least favorite in one photo. Love the custom leather on the Zodiac chrono, colors match perfectly. The blue perlon was supposed to be a nice summer strap but doesn't work with the **** Time at all.

Fav was blue Alpinist on Popov leather strap with blue stitching:
Least was the stock bracelet on this SND365 I had for a minute.

I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: MoT's September 7Strap-aganza Strap Giveaway!
My favorite is a 2010 reissue strap on my vintage Hamilton Ventura. I’ve been tempted to track down an original 1950s version, but it’s near impossible to find an affordable one of the 24K gold appliqué strap in good condition.
Least favorite is a Eulit perlon on a Beijing Beihai. Never got the appeal of perlon as I find it extremely stiff and uncomfortable. I’ve also trended towards smaller watches for my dressier pieces since my early collecting days and this 38mm case remains mostly in the watch case.

Re: MoT's September 7Strap-aganza Strap Giveaway!
Favorite is the St. Moritz on smoke grey canvas by Barton. This is just a perfect comfortable combo and feels as if the strap was made for this watch. I just love it.
Least favorite would be the Seiko Speedtimer on brown leather racing strap from CNS. I am not a huge leather fan, but I really wanted this to work. The lugless design gives almost enough space to squeeze this in. The lines give you an approximately 20mm area on the bottom, but it is much wider at the top. It just looks strange to me.
I hope that the reproduction fishbone bracelet that I ordered will be more to my liking.

Current darling is the weathered BluShark canvas strap on Lunar Pilot. Least favorite is the Martu Leather lobster claw on the Glycine Combat 36mm.
EDIT: to be clear, the Martu strap itself is great, but the combo I had in mind didn't pan out.

Re: MoT's September 7Strap-aganza Strap Giveaway!
Favorite strap combo is probably the Citizen Promaster "Fugu" pepsi on this brown Watchgecko Hinxhill strap. Diver on leather, I don't care.
Least favorite: Frederique Constant Moon Phase on Uncle Seiko Tropic rubber (really what was I thinking there).

Re: MoT's September 7Strap-aganza Strap Giveaway!
Favorite: although the Speedy is a strap-monster it took me a few attempts to find the perfect strap for it.
Least favorite: you can really take your pick of either combo below. I had just bought the Oris Coltrane from a vendor in Japan, and of course it didn’t have the original strap or buckle. I tried different options before ordering the real deal from Oris.
I had tried different straps on the Vapaus, but while the color wasn’t too off with this strap, the style was too casual for the watch. Ended up settling on a tan Rios cordovan strap that was perfect on it. Sadly both watches are with new owners now.

Re: MoT's September 7Strap-aganza Strap Giveaway!
My favorite is this Meyhofer strap on my Dan Henry from watchbandcenter.
Least favorite is anything I put on my Vratislavia. I have tried 10 different straps on it but just cant find one I love. Currently I have a G&Co strap on which is fine, but the color doesn't match enough for me.
