Hey folks. What color strap and style would you recommend for this 1675? 5.2mil serial, get only (obviously). Pics would help too ;-).

I meant, head only of course.

NATO or leather. You cannot go wrong with either material. I love the ODGreen NATO and a brown leather strap.

Vincent65 · 1 September 2016, 07:24 PM

Anything will look good on that - leather, nylon, whatever!

doramas · 1 September 2016, 11:42 PM

something like that?

Straps look great on vintage watches IMO.

Gina Marie · 2 September 2016, 02:11 AM

Nato baby!

jdmi32 · 2 September 2016, 02:56 AM

I think a vintage GMT goes great with a distressed leather strap or NATO.

Toronto Soup King · 2 September 2016, 04:51 AM

If it's not on bracelet I like mine on a white perlon, especially in summer

Hmmm. Dunno if the pic came through. Here's the link http://imgur.com/a/fFZ06

In my opinion there a not many straps matching a MATTE dialed, blue/red inlay 1675.
You can't say in general that this or that strap matches a matte 1675. It always depends on the patina and the colours/fading of the insert.

Some days ago I mounted a natural horween shell cordovan strap to my MKI.
It's ok, but not perfect...

One of my favourit combos for a 1675 is the following...black insert and black nato...

Next combo, quite OK, all black insert and dark brown side stich JPM/BulangAndSons VintageStrap...

Next combo, all black insert and black suede/leather nato...

That's all nice for a short change, but NOTHING can beat a matte 1675 on it's original Oyster 78360/7836/7206 IMO...

I'm a strap guy but the 1675 is rather difficult to pair with one. I think it feels right at home on a Jubilee, followed closely by an oyster. The blue/red insert is what makes the use of leather almost incompatible. I've tried it on a brown B&S leather but never kept it on for more than a few days.

suligeo · 2 September 2016, 09:08 PM

Great Look.

2JHead · 2 September 2016, 10:37 PM

I really love the olive, gray or brown natos on this one. You can get straps from the original milsub strap manufacturer over in the UK. Haven't tried them but....

flyinghell34 · 2 September 2016, 11:43 PM

I'm glad this topic has come up because I was thinking about adding a leather strap to my '68 GMT as well.

My question is...

Does the one stitch leather strap have any historical connection to the GMT or is it just popular because it's an attractive compliment to the watch?

WristEnvy · 3 September 2016, 08:45 AM

Thanks all for the ideas and beautiful pics.

I'm currently using the strap I was originally using on my exp2 and have a myriad of NATOs. Going to get a few more. Here some pics I took yesterday.

Hard to go wroing with a leather NATO in my book. From Bulang & Sons

Vincent65 · 3 September 2016, 07:48 PM

I've been known to try a few combinations...

Hope you like some of these ideas

Vincent65 · 3 September 2016, 07:50 PM

And some more...

Vincent65 · 3 September 2016, 07:54 PM

Some better than others, of course - it's a pretty versatile model, but I try to choose carefully

coelacanthus · 3 March 2018, 04:07 AM

Reviving this old thread because I want to get some more inspirations. I have the original 7836 bracelet and love the whole look it is super comfortable, but I also like the casual look of vintage GMT on strap.

Hoping to see more strap suggestions from folks. :)

Here is one I'm currently rocking: Bulang & Sons Siena Brown (short).

nsxnext · 3 March 2018, 04:56 AM

Love this from B&S

Swiss_Time_Watches · 3 March 2018, 06:16 AM

Blue suede vintage strap

Kooteepee · 7 March 2018, 01:51 AM

Perlon strap ,no regrets

chows99 · 7 March 2018, 11:48 PM

Personally, I would go for the distressed brown strap. But I am a bracelet person though.
