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.

DonRickles · 15 May 2020, 10:24 PM

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

Totally not my thing, I really am put off by bund bands

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

Yes. They are totally off putting to me too. They look like bondage gear to me.. Not that I actively look for bondage gear online you understand..

GST15 · 16 May 2020, 12:24 PM

No. Not opposed to a strap, just not that one

There's a good joke there somewhere, just need to tie down all the loose ends to figure it out

Number3 · 15 May 2020, 10:45 PM

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!

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!

RJRJRJ · 16 May 2020, 07:05 AM

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.

I understand both sides.

AJMarcus · 16 May 2020, 08:25 AM

I can hear Major Kurtz now, Oh the horror!

Vanmarsenille · 16 May 2020, 09:00 AM

TimeLord2 · 16 May 2020, 09:44 AM

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!
