Snowflake on leather? Not bad at all

I think it works

I prefer it on a more casual leather, yours is nice but a bit too serious (if that makes any sense!)

Anyone doing leather with curved ends, to fit flush against the case?

Also I found this guy who makes custom straps to fit the grand seiko.
The colour and taste not be for you but he can still make you something fantastic!

Oh wow! This looks great! Any other pics from different angles or settings?

Afraid not, I only found that one..

Tbh it looks great, just camel tone leather with visible stitching!
However, the lug gap may be too large.

But if you look at my previous post, that guy will custom make anything you like to fit the GS perfectly.

Wonder if anyone has any of this on a black leather? Or the sbga259 gold markers version on leather?

Really got me thinking now!

Only bad thing about that blue lizard strap... you're looking at better part of 400 euros for it!

but basically SYED, if you're looking for future straps, try and find ones with curved lug ends with padding. That way the gap will be reduced massively and will look even more fantastic!

That looks ace! I don't mind the gap between watch and strap for leather, looks rather good.

Black or very dark brown usually works best with GS, IMO.

I still prefer the SD in bracelet as the case is thicker than the regular ones.
