Proper tool make the bracelet removal a few second work. Steel case SkyD (326933 & 326934) has 22m lug width.

First up, rubber strap. Look sporty paired with white dial.

Other views. Even with thick rubber strap, still a lot of gap between top of strap to top of case.

Wrist shot.

Next up, leather strap. Honey brown made by Horween.

Wrist shot.

Side view. Again, lots of gap between top of strap.

Last one, NATO

Look very sporty and out-of-place.

***BONUS PICS***

Weird slot at the lug, probably for some kind of adapter to minimise the big gap when using leather or other straps.

Great pics. I like the look of the first two. Not sure the. SkyD works on a NATO. But it’s always fun to try new looks. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, beautiful SKyD! Can you tell me the brand &reference of the tool you used to change the bracelet. I got a Bergeon that isn’t working on my Rolex watches but woks well on every other brand...

You can try Bergeon 6825 ($150+) or Horofix ($90) spring bar pliers. Mine is China brand cost $30+ but get the job done too.

Etschell · 15 April 2018, 10:18 PM

i like the oem strap. if not i would dig others but with end kinks.

brandrea · 15 April 2018, 10:23 PM

To me the best way to wear the Sky Dweller is on the factory bracelet.

Every other option just doesn’t look right to me, but to each their own

I agree with the above in that I think bracelet is best. I do think the nato looks ok though, and far better than I thought it would....

1William · 15 April 2018, 10:34 PM

They all work for me but I prefer the OEM bracelet.

Xerxes77 · 15 April 2018, 10:35 PM

Bracelet....

Wcdhtwn · 15 April 2018, 10:36 PM

The original bracelet I'd by far the best, but I'd you must the brown leather.

peterpl · 15 April 2018, 10:38 PM

keep it on the bracelet my man.

I got an alligator leather strap for mine. Haven’t put it in yet but feel it’s the best look (for me)

G'ed · 15 April 2018, 10:47 PM

I agree original bracelet is the best.

Alpino · 15 April 2018, 11:33 PM

.

No relation with the bracelet (I am an exclusive oyster user for my SkyDweller), but could you tell me if you have the same hallmark inside the lugs of yours ?

I have been told it's reserved to Rolesor models sold in France, but I am skeptical.

Danny83 · 15 April 2018, 11:39 PM

Stock bracelet and stickers off

I'm a big fan of the Bergeon 7825, Oyster bracelet and no stickers.

Ss22525 · 16 April 2018, 12:48 AM

White rubber strap would be nice looking

Vaxe · 16 April 2018, 01:02 AM

Chadridv · 16 April 2018, 02:08 AM

I’m all for tinkering and variety, but I’m not a fan of any of these looks. Sorry :/

Cru Jones · 16 April 2018, 02:45 AM

Maybe look into a leather strap with curved ends that completely fill the gap?

John at D9 could help you out: http://dangerous9straps.blogspot.fr/?m=1

RaceDoc11 · 16 April 2018, 03:14 AM

Original and leather only everything else looks awful.

DrMattK · 16 April 2018, 04:30 AM

Thanks for sharing, I have a 326135 and started changing the strap myslef but didn't even get half way before putting everything back as I was terrified I was going to scratch it to bits! I liked the rubber chunky look of yours, would be interesting to see on the same strap in white or with a white highlight stripe!

Dougiebaby · 16 April 2018, 05:32 AM

When you took off the original bracelet, each version (black rubber, brown leather, black nato) diminished the watch ... with the worst offender being the nato.

But, you do have one stunning piece! Wear it (on original bracelet) in good health! ;)

mfnj · 16 April 2018, 05:34 AM

Bracelet for me as well. There might be a worthy strap option but not any of the ones in your pictures.

roaddog359 · 16 April 2018, 05:57 AM

Nothing beats the stock bracelet.
