New shoes on my SMP

Hirsch professional strap for my Seamaster Professional. The strap is well built and is very comfortable.

I would've gone with rubber. The leather on this sporty SMP just doesn't do it for me.

That strap would be great on a Speedmaster, the Seamaster is a bit too sporty diver looking for that leather tbh.

I think it creates a great contrast with that sporty case. That's a beautiful and rather rare change you've made!

I really dig the way it looks!

I used to have a black croc on my great white gmt and it looked sharp! I recently acquired the blue dial/bezel co-axial smp gmt and have been thinking of changing out the steel bracelet with a dark blue or black Hirsch leather strap.

Count me in as one who likes the leather strap on your SMP. The rubber strap doesn't do it for me at all. Of course my favorite look for the SMP is the bracelet. My SMP has never been removed from the bracelet and never will be. Cheers, Bill P.

I like the look of the leather. Great contrast with the sports style watch. Well done.
