Favourite Luminor straps?

Post by Mellons »

I have a cycle with straps where i go from rubber (my preferred strap), to leather on to metal then inevitable back to rubber. Like groundhog day, when i get into a different watch case the cycle starts all over again.

Currently im in a Luminor cycle, and at the leather stage, heading towards metal. Any suggestions for metal straps that go well with case? Post up pics of favourite metal straps (or other, im also a fan of nato).

Very nice Getat case btw, I used to think they were not much different from the cheap cartel cases on AliE. But the more watches and cases I work on, I start seeing all the details: the edges, the way the lugs are joined, the cushion shape, CG etc.
