New Straps, Old Watches

While I prefer my GS on the variety of black straps, just as they likely would have been worn 40-50 years ago paired with the Japanese corporate uniform, I have recently begun to mix things up. Here are two examples.

Looks fantastic on the tan strap. What’s the model number of your GS?

Been on the fence about getting a bracelet for some of mine. But I do like the look a lot.

That said, I really like these on black straps, and even the more dressy straps. Problem is those never match anything I wear!

I also prefer black leather, pretty much on all vintage GS and KS, as intended, with the occasional metal bracelet if original or original style.

I guess I do, but that second one is a giveaway with the ref# on the dial

Another fan of that second strap! Looks great like it's aged as well.
