Coolest strap or bracelet?

I am looking at a Tudor with a wicked looking distressed strap. I would not buy a watch based solely on the strap, but it enhances the look of the watch. Do you have a watch with a great looking strap or bracelet, have you bought a watch due to a cool strap, or had a cool strap help your decision?

Not for me. If I want a cool strap I have it made for the watch.

The Black Bay comes on the distressed strap. I have one, I am sure many here have one also. It looks good.

Since leather / rubber straps are ~$20 each, i get the timepiece desired and then can easily add whatever straps are desired. So buy the timepiece and have a nice strap collection too :)

Some examples on non-OEM straps are below:

My rubber coated rose gold bracelet on my rose gold JLC Diving Chrono is the best bracelet I have ever had
