This watch is a tad small for me and i’ve scratched around for the best strap or bracelet for it. Rummaging around today I found an old Bund pad – that I don’t think I’ve ever worn. But I think its a great match – adding some sense of presence to the watch –
and the black working well with the watch dial. what do ya think?

It brought back a vivid but ancient memory of when I was a 16yr old boy soldier and met a Guards warrant officer in G Squadron 22 SAS – I’ve never forgotten meeting…

Bund Strap – old skool cool or old fool?

So I apologize up front if their is already a thread for this. I searched “Leather”, scrolled thru about 7 pages of threads but didn’t see a thread where people were just showing off their favorite leather straps.

I am a hobbyist leather goods maker on the side. I make a lot of wallets, knife sheaths, cigar accessory pouches, and various other things, but am just starting to mess around with straps. Pictured is one I made yesterday from a Horween chromexcel. It’s thick because I doubled it…

Show me your leather straps

I feel like there needs to be a single thread where watch (strap) enthusiasts come together as one to share their favourite combos, and straps they like to wear the most. A place where we can share the best rubber, silicone, NATO, Zulu, perlon straps and many more. To start, include a picture(s) of your favourite strap to wear on your favourite watch it goes with, and why you like it so much.

I’ll start with my skx009 on a navy blue kings NATO strap…
