Combat-Straps ( Aaron Bespoke) Custom Toad Strap for my 1968 GMT Master 1675...I emailed Aaron for suggestions for this watch and he called and went over many options in great detail...I settled on a Toad skin strap which I had not used, but it looked interesting and ordered it...Turnaround time was a little over two weeks and I got it yesterday.

It took me an hour to wrestle the spring bars out of my GMT and put them back in ( after using You Tube again), but I won then changed to this strap from a canvas NATO.

I really find Aaron's work superior to all other custom straps I own and have seen...The color and texture of this toad strap are striking and the construction is of the highest quality...it's always nice to have something unusual and different from anyone wearing similar watches and this certainly stands out in the crowd.

I highly recommend trying custom straps with different combinations of colors and materials just for interesting variety...Aaron offers a solid service with a great product...I'd like to see a thread with more of his creations.

Comments on my watch and strap are welcome. Thanks. Ed

Looks great.
I have several straps from Aaron, and his work is first rate. Doesn't get any better and he is super easy to work with.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about this craftsman.

That dial of yours might need some stabilisation, incidentally.

Straps are slightly padded and the fit is about as good as it gets. Ed
