Sacrilege?

Well, much as I think the DSSD strap is a work of art, I've always thought it would look good on leather. So for an early Christmas present to myself I've attached a Toshi leather strap in Shell Corcoran - I think it makes the watch much easier to wear casually.

Why do I feel guilty removing that beautiful steel strap though? :nono:

Sorry mate, for some reason that just does not look right. Maybe that;s what doesn't feel right :bartmoon: :bartmoon:

I think you are on the right track. I like a strap for a change but I don't think that one is the right strap for the watch. It looks a little small. Maybe a thicker or wider strap would suit the watch better.

Looks ok but not as good as the oyster IMO

As long as you like it is all that matters right?

Does'nt look right !

Chivas Regal 25 December 2012 06:46 AM

Well I guess it's not to everyone's taste and I value other peoples opinion, especially on this forum!

I must admit that I don't feel comfortable wearing it with a suit and tie anymore - it clashes. That said, I do feel it goes better with jeans and tee shirt. And I still love the watch!

Looks good :thumbsup:

If u like it that's all that matters! I prefer the oyster bracelet though. Maybe consider purchasing a used older sub to wear with a strap...those tend to look pretty good off of the oyster bracelet and can be picked up for a "small" price relative to your deepsea

If you got that strap in black you would have been in at least the right direction...

dysondiver 26 December 2012 07:26 AM

black leather dye ,, just a thought. although i think bigger lugs are hard to get the right strap to match.

Not as much as my Breitling strap on my DSSD...

I fell in love with the Toshi straps. Virtually that is...

I will receive my Toshi on Jan 10. It is black with black stitches and it will go a newly serviced 1978 sub 1680. It is conservative and my trial band.

For the reasons stated above, I will keep my GMT IIc stock so that I can wear it at work with a suit. I'll post pictures when installed.
