I didn't care much for the strap my Squale came on, so I got a Staib mesh bracelet for it. This is now my heaviest watch, but I think it looks much better.

The ostrich and beaver are. He does really quality work with quality skins and leather. Thanks!

I've always been enticed by their straps. Looks great.

I also want to give a shout out to Drew Watson of Europelli straps who makes an amazing strap with incredible care and attention to detail.

I have a strong dislike of bracelets so I took it off my Visodate and replaced it with this Martú leather orange strap. It wears very comfortable and has a suede like finish.

She does a quality strap at a good price.

I am a bracelet guy, no doubt. But this hobby had gotten me into changing things up. I've yet to get a strap for my breitling, and it may be the watch I don't change up because the bracelet is one of the main things that drew me to the look.

That's a beautiful Breitling you got there. Congrats!

I look forward to seeing what straps you choose for it should you decide to shake things up a bit later on!

I'm sure I can find something crazy for it but I think it needs to be on the bracelet.

I love Seiko Cocktail time. But OEM strap could best be described as a backwards stiff piece of cr*p.
So I wear it on Eulit Perlon and love it. I also tried blue Rios strap, but did not quite enjoy it.
