Amazing how a colored strap makes a GMT pop

This is a simple blue leather Hirsch strap that my AD added to this vintage GMT but look at how it makes the watch pop.

Planning to wear it all summer!

I love British sports cars, by the way, and here is a blurry photo in our Triumph Spitfire. Trying to focus and drive this nimble thing is hard!

Cool! If you can try to post a higher resolution picture this one came in grainy, but I like the idea for sure!

Greetings for Little Rock! Coincidentally I've been shopping for an after market strap for my 16710. That looks sharp! :)

This is a 1980 British Spitfire. A Tudor … same car.



We have 3 other British sports cars (2 MGBs and 1 MG Midget) and many compliment them with vintage Rolexes. A good match because both are older, and more rare.

Congrats, your GMT on the leather strap looks fantastic. I have a vintage Sub on a Hirsch band and love it. A different look and fun change up for the summer. Cheers to enjoying this journey

Cool cars and watch!

I’ve been debating throwing my GMT on a strap as well for summer. They look great on a strap IMO.
