Old German watch with small ring lugs (no spring bars). Which strap do you like best?

#1. Leather bund

#2. Red/tan NATO

#3. Black/yellow Zulu

OR... What would you suggest? The 20mm NATO and Zulu barely squeeze through. Leather would have to be thin 18mm which looks weird on a 45mm watch and 7.75" wrist.

Any input or advice is welcome. Thanks!

Switch it up to match whatever you are wearing on a particular day :)

So, it looks like leather wins.

I'd still like other suggestions though. I love the watch but it gets almost no wrist time due to the strap.

I like both the NATO and the Zulu...of course I just might be a little prejudiced. :)

The yellow zulu looks cool. I'm not a fan of bunds for any watch! What about a bond nato?

sorry not a fan of any of those, the leather is the best if I had to choose.

John - your opinion might have been counted as valid had you not implied that "Brewster's Millions" was "famous". ;-)


I may try it on a Bond - don't have a 20mm though, only 22. I may have to buy one I guess.
