Just surprised myself and found that most of mine are on the OEM straps and bracelets; but a few are not...

I tend to switch up straps like crazy, and rarely keep on oem bracelets (but always buy them with one).

Here are various examples, including my Laco Mojave on an aftermarket fitted rubber (I'd have to look up the maker), OceanX vintage on a Gunny strap, Geckota G-01 on a custom gator from a maker in Vietnam, Orient Star on an MN strap, and PAM 111 on a Toshi leather.

Generally the manufacturer has a lot more taste than I do so I tend to keep my watches on the OEM straps. Except my SARB065. Someone over in Japan was having a real off day when they paired that horror with the 065. It looks good but wears like a piece of tarmac.
I took a bit of a leap of faith and ordered it a grey Perlon.

So funny- second post on the horror of the cocktail time strap .

I think I am less conservative than most manufacturers with the strap choices, as I tend to like some stitch they pulls from the dial.

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.

Man I love this watch. I don't know how long i'd have to own it to get bored with that bracelet, but a long time!

Before and after would've been a better way to start a thread. :) With that said, I've actually never amounted my green senator 60s on the OEM strap mostly because I found it a little boring and I also got it in the summer and I wanted to put it on a Hirsch leather strap that had the rubber backing.
