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).

Current selection (in no particular order)

Waffle (only in 22mm)


24mm Leather with @Elias Livadaris preV buckle


22mm Borealis rubber with getat pvd buckle


24mm NATO with ss keepers

I like your NATO, at this time I'm thinking about to use a metal band pam style from Alix but worried about the lug compatibility as they are shown on fiddy case

Leather strap similar to the one in your pictures. And gen Panerai rubber strap

I've ordered an AliExpress special, allegedly Buffalo leather,good reviews... we'll see...

Thanks guys, anyone have alternative steel bracelet?

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.
