Strap suggestions for 605

[rocketdogbert]

I have a 605 on order from Supermirrors, anyone got any recommendations, maybe with pics, for a nice chunky strap?
Cheers guys

 

[rocketdogbert]

Wow, no-one. I'll have to try some out for myself

Maybe something grey and exotic?

Gunny Caitlin 2. Or a Gunny 74. He's a TD here, check his thread.

And also check this guy's store on tha bay:

some are pretty awesome for the price.

I like this one.... Trying to track it down for my 605. I think it might be a Simona.

Cheers guys. I've bought from Gunny before, the rest I'll check out, but I don't do ostentatious so they'll be no gator straps lol

I like the standard rep strap it comes with.

Honestly it depends on your budget. For $100 ish a jv orloff grey would be awesome

If you want to spend $400 an oem mx black JV would be amazing

 

[rocketdogbert]

Yup, more top end, but I don't like OEM lol

i think this will match great with the grey dial

 

[kilowattore]

^^^^ that would look very nice imho, otherwise grey nubuck straps seem to work very well with the dial.

Looks interesting, who makes that?

Grey Orloff is a good call. Even his regular grey croc. I'm giving a grey Bosphorus a go I think.

i made this one its a full grain Italian leather.

Well, one strap is not enough I'd go for a grey and something brown or dark blue with orange stitching

Any other ideas guys? I'm having trouble pairing it now I have it in hand. Not keen on the grey as it came on. It's a tricky dial to match to. In most interior light, it washes out. Definitely an outdoors watch. I was originally thinking a Bosphorus vintage grey but now I'm not so sure.

I couldn't agree more, in indoor lighting it can be very difficult to even see the time, think it's a combination of plexi and reflective dial, KW127 is much more distinct. I'm not keen on the grey asso strap either although it is ok quality for a rep strap. I went for a light brown leather with stitching that is very close to the index colour of the dial (it might not look it in the flash photo, but in real life it is). it's from Alfio at Bakeka Handmade.
