Swatch Sistem 51 strap option

[kilyung]

The Swatch Sistem 51 is a fun watch. It's relatively cheap and well built for the price. My son loves his. Unfortunately the leather strap that comes on his model isn't well suited for summer activities. So I searched for a suitable rubber replacement and found that the Gent Collection Black Rebel silicone strap fits perfectly. It also lends it a sportier feel. Swapping it out was simple: push out the lug pins, replace the strap, and press the pins back in.

Looks good! I was thinking about picking one up just for fun.

Honestly it's a lot of fun. I like to borrow it occasionally from my son. Obviously he's not particularly gentle with it. Given his active lifestyle, the rubber strap is probably the better option anyways.
