Rootbeer On Brown Leather Bund
 
Tried a few Bund straps for that smooth n' cool retro look. Finally decided on this one from Amazon ( $26 https://amzn.to/2yXwkis ). Yeah, i know this look is a bit polarizing, yet love the reto visuals and it is very comfy to wear too! Like the Rootbeer once you see it in person... pics don't do it justice imho.

Not bad. I remember wearing similar bands as a kid in the late 60's early 70's!

Pim 15 May 2020 10:37 PM

Same. I really don't get them.
But OP, as long as you're happy:thumbsup:

I think it looks great. Colour match is perfect.

BDL 15 May 2020 10:45 PM

Yes sir!

Yess 15 May 2020 10:51 PM

Too much going on. And I love the CHNR.

But you do you... That's what's important in life I say!

enjoythemusic 15 May 2020 11:52 PM

Great comments so far and agree the look can be a bit polarizing. And yes, you may want to consider your outfit / on-stage clothes to match the style.

IMO, hideous. So thick. Couldn’t imagine that thick cuff on my wrist

vesnyder 16 May 2020 02:54 AM

I like it. I have a bund strap that I have an old Timex diver on and may give it a try. I'm not sure I want to take the time as I am sure I will say "looks interesting, now where is the original bracelet"!

Ny325 16 May 2020 03:10 AM

Not my cup of tea. Too much going on the wrist. Less is more in my book.

upsidedownbelt 16 May 2020 03:12 AM

No.

Rori 16 May 2020 03:27 AM

Fashionable particularly with the beads bracelets.

Another "No" vote, but if you like it cool! :cheers:

Santiago79 16 May 2020 03:33 AM

Not bad at all. very casual look

Craigtw 16 May 2020 03:57 AM

Looks great ��

Golfpaul66 16 May 2020 04:16 AM

I, for one, wouldn't put a $26 band on a $15k watch when the original bracelet is so beautiful.

JSolution 16 May 2020 06:22 AM

My god that is awful

Ron P 16 May 2020 06:47 AM

A big no no, this beautifull, subtle watch is extremely offset by a strap for 52 mm Kyboe or a huge Uboat.

Kube 16 May 2020 07:00 AM

It looks fantastic, I mean it

CKizzy 16 May 2020 07:04 AM

I would rock that!

j/k. I can see the appeal, just not for me.

Chewbacca 16 May 2020 07:07 AM

I like that Steve does this stuff.

Looks fine. I don’t like bunds on anything except bullheads but, it works.

enjoythemusic 16 May 2020 07:12 AM

Did I mention this style can be VERY polarizing. :rofl:

I understand both sides.

AJMarcus 16 May 2020 08:25 AM

I can hear Major Kurtz now, Oh the horror!:banghead:

I'm not a Bundian, but I don't think I could pull off the beaded bracelet look either. They do seem to go together. Love the watch! Cheers to you sir and your style! :cheers:

ian.thomas 16 May 2020 09:46 AM

On brown leather, yes, but not that band.

Dr.Mehr 16 May 2020 10:04 AM

I am looking for a brown leather strap for my CHNR. But I wouldn’t personally like this band.

woof 16 May 2020 10:08 AM

I love the look!!! Well done on the color combo. Perfect bund strap for it.
Thank you for sharing
