I live in Florida, so my 233 spent the summer wearing the comfortable and sporty OEM rubber strap. It is fantastic in the heat, and in and around the water.

EddieB · 4 November 2013, 11:28 AM

But, now that the weather has cooled off a bit, I am ready for a change. Maybe my rock and roll inspired vintage DiStefano with extruded rivets.

EddieB · 4 November 2013, 11:30 AM

Perhaps the olive Mad Dog with coin buckle.

EddieB · 4 November 2013, 11:32 AM

Or maybe the Mad Dog ammo with a sledgehammer of a mokume gane buckle.

EddieB · 4 November 2013, 11:36 AM

Or the incomparably crafted Gregoire (made with my request to use bourbon as the inspiration).

The good news is that I can't go wrong. This watch is incredibly versatile and looks great on just about anything! Funny that it can even make my Black Monster seem somewhat small (although it is an awesome watch in its own right).

looking good. looks like you have some tough choices to make!

nauticajoe · 5 November 2013, 09:32 AM

Nice pics! I'd add a Kodiak strap in the mix.

Travelller · 5 November 2013, 10:45 AM

Boy, don't we all first-worlders have it hard...

My favorite's the olive Mad Dog

I keep my quick-change tool and "stack" of straps close by so I can choose while drinking my morning cortado...

...like I said, we first-worlders have it hard...

I find it hard not to change my straps every day. I don't know how you can do it, changing once a season?????

Thanks! For the right occasion, that black hornback of yours is just killer.

I love that mokume buckle!

All nice, but if I had to pick...
1. Gregoire
2. Ammo

When I lived in Florida, the weather was BRUTAL on my straps. Probably why I much prefer rubber and bracelets now.

lapince · 2 December 2013, 10:45 AM

The olive mad dog has my preference, in fact I like them all but am not very found of buckles other than Panerai, a little too much for my taste, I don't see the bukle on the olive so maybe that's why I like it better, I wear my 82 with the original strap, I just love the blue alligator, but my 233 has a wotancraft strap but with the regular buckle...
