My Sinn 358 Diapal on an Artem with Deployment Clasp is my favorite. I have straps for my Citizen Chronomaster and some old Omegas. Hirsch straps on the Omegas are very nice. I will be getting one for my IWC 41mm with the quick exchange system. I have a bunch of NATO straps that I can not really bond with. I always prefer a deployment clasp on straps. My 358:

 

I have Artem, it’s amazing quality 🤩🤩🤩

 

A strap change a day keep the service away. A no name nato, a black crown & buckle and a Russian leather strap, on the watch is a red sailcloth, a custom made Etsy leather and Barton rubber.

 

What brand is the red sailcloth? Looks nice 👌 🔥🔥

 

I got it on Ebay from 02 straps, very comfortable and good looking for under $30.

 

I have many straps which often happens when you get a Panerai or 3. It is tough to describe a favorite, but very high on the list is this, nice and soft with stitching to match the blue highlights on the dial.

Have you tried Lussos straps for Panerai?

 

I like medal bands. straps are ok as they are easier to adjust

 

2 piece seat belt nato is fantastic if you want the low profile with the comfort of a nato strap but not many make those 🤩🤩

 

I like that very much! Who sells those? Thanks.

 

This Caramel shell cordovan from Atelier De Sur is aging nicely, it's softness becoming like a great vintage strap. Have since received further straps from Atelier, each of which feels sumptuous.

 

Generally I find resin, silicone and leather straps to be the most comfortable. For leather, decently-priced ones have done the trick for me.

 

One of these two: Hirsch Accent or Hirsch Performance straps. The Accent is natural rubber, very comfortable, and has an upscale look to it. The Performance straps (I have the Robby, Tiger, and Ayrton) are leather/natural rubber hybrid straps that can be used in the water (done so many times) and still keep that leather strap look.

For leather OEM it’s Damasko. Sinn do nice leather too but for me it’s Damasko.

 

I agree, I had Sinn waterproof leather strap…. Lasted 8 months only 😔

 

ABP and/or Combat Straps for me.

 

This is a custom black shark leather with gray stitching made by Trin Li Mai at 7Strap. Definitely my favorite.

 

My newest watch strap has to be my favorite. The fact it's hand made right here in the US makes it especially special to me .

 

Wow 😮🤩🤩🤩

What a nice combo 🤩🤩 good taste sir 🤌👌

 

My favorite straps so far have got to be Erika’s Originals MN Straps. They are comfortable, flexible, and secure. I love the customization options.

 

i like zuludiver's vintage tropical style fkm rubber straps and 285 Italian rubber diver's watch straps. Reasonably-priced, comfortable, durable (so far). Both drain water nicely.

i also like Helm's RS2 rubber strap, a FKM ladder style, looks something like an Isofrane. Crafter Blue ladder style straps are also nice, though they're firm and need some time in the ocean and sun to break in.

Strapsco has been a good source for budget silicone straps for me.

Finally, the only leather straps i have really liked on a semi-permanent basis are a stock Hamilton strap on a khaki field and Stowa's old style pilot leather strap.

I have a lot of straps. My favorite is my Martu M911-p1, a black strap with fancy stitching. I don't know how many straps I own but I have five by Martu. She is a delight to deal with and I probably won't buy from anyone else. Her small size is perfect for me and she has such a diverse catalog that I can find anything I need. I have a number of Nato straps but have been giving those away and doubt I'll wear them again. I have a Barton canvas strap that I like, and a Mankey strap that I like. And right now I'm mainly wearing a Ball Trainmaster on a bracelet that I like a great deal.

 

Post some if you don’t mind 🤩🤩🤩

 

I'm a sucker for NATOs, so I have far too many of them at 18mm, 20mm and 22mm. This brand new green one, however, is by far my favorite. It's seat belt-style, the perfect length, and has a sheen I really like. I actually got it via Amazon from a brand called JWNSPA(?).

Thanks for the tip — it’s JWNSPA. I just went to Amazon looked at their straps.

 

#Aevig sales some really cool Firehose Straps which I had for a while, they are stiff in the begging but once they brake in.. good stuff 🤩🤩

 

I'm not super knowledgeable about straps. But I do have experience with two Hirsch models. I bought a Hirsch Liberty back in 2016 and I wasn't super happy. The leather was fine, but the stitching started fraying right away. A couple of years ago, I bought a Hirsch Toronto, and I'm very pleased with the quality of this particular strap, it's holding together very nicely, and is well made for the money.

Veblenist. Extremely soft and thin leathers with no break-in period. Hardly notice them on the wrist.

 

At present this is my favorite. Custom-made to fit my Planet Ocean, and my wrist perfectly, with NO visible holes...

This Barton black sailcloth with red contrast stitching is another one that I like a lot...

And this Hadley-Roma "Kevlar" gets a LOT of wrist time on various watches...

 

Erica's Original. Very comfortable strap.
