Mostly have this one on a NATO but like the look of a distressed strap on a vintage piece as well.

Totally! What strap is that?

Comfort and patina...

mike369 · 14 May 2013, 11:50 PM

What is the brand of the strap?

Vincent65 · 14 May 2013, 11:53 PM

I'm with the OP - metal or nylon for me - tried a few suede and exotic leather, but... nah.

andromeda160 · 15 May 2013, 01:38 AM

I just can't stand open space between the lugs. Leather with endlinks though looks good. Still wouldn't do it on a sports watch though. I'd be rockin natos but not leather

WOW! This is some serious thread resurrection! I was the OP for this almost a year ago! Great pics (though I'm still not convinced and still have not purchased a leather strap for myh 1665!)

Leather strap on vintage Sub does not do it for me! Steel or NATO!

linesiders · 15 May 2013, 07:09 AM

I'm a fan.

But remember;

Sgul · 30 May 2013, 04:21 AM

This watch is stunning

landroverking · 30 May 2013, 04:31 AM

Leather on vintage is cool. IMHO Subs need rubber or steel.

ThePayola · 30 May 2013, 05:11 AM

I found this on the Hamilton Leatherworks website when I was looking for a leather strap for my Tudor Heritage Chrono.

I haven't pulled the trigger on this strap yet, but I absolutely love the way it looks - especially on a vintage Monte Carlo.

Kobin · 30 May 2013, 05:42 AM

Nothing wrong with a bit of leather every now and then.

datejust24 · 2 June 2013, 09:11 AM

I just ordered one of Jed's vintage leather straps and I also purchased a SS 16mm Rolex buckle.. plan on putting it on my 14060 when they both come in. Curious to know how difficult it is to put the buckle on the strap? I understand Jed's strap's come with a buckle... are the buckles that come on the strap difficult to get off? Just trying to get an idea of what to expect when they come in, im super excited.

My 7032/0 on custom Attila suede strap since thread is alive again....Cheers,

Maxtor · 2 June 2013, 10:35 AM

Nice combos. In some ways it makes the watch pop a bit more than on the metal.

bonbonson · 2 June 2013, 11:13 AM

For me i think nato and the original bracelet are best for divers but dress watches like OP DJ or AK look VERY good in a leather strap. I am planning to keep my rivet band to replace with a simple croc strap.

htinez · 2 June 2013, 01:49 PM

Stunning...just stunning.......

Jed's buckles are easy to take off yourself. I have two and they are awesome

My father bought a beautiful gunny strap for his red sub - looks great.

I think the Rolex watches are not to wear with leather straps. The standard bracelet is the one to wear. I think there is watches like Panerai that the rubber and leather straps are the adequate to use.Nevertheless, others brands like Rolex doesn´t run.

Z-Dweller · 3 June 2013, 02:46 AM

I prefer leather straps in general. So here is my contribution. I really like the Gunny Arrillo.

Waiting for a Gunny distressed NATO and Caitlin 4 for my 5513.

Call me biased but I prefer wearing vintage watches on leather straps. I also enjoy wearing them on original bracelets but it's nice to be able to change the character and look of the watch by just switching straps. I also feel more comfortable wearing them on straps since I'm less worried about scratching up the bracelet.
