How about putting it on a Bund Strap?

Bunds really don't appeal to me

How about a Jurgen's Pilot strap...you can do either (bund or no bund).

Try Sertoli watch straps. Very well made, and a pleasure to deal with.

I like the rallye and tropic style straps.

Lots of good examples of cool straps on vintage subs here too.

Try Hirsch Forest! Have gold brow nones for my sub, my gmt and my Speedmaster. Works every time! Incredibly soft and has a nice structure.

Try Hirsch as suggested above. I bought my Hirsch straps from a company in the UK. Mine were the curved end call Principal.

http://www.watchobsession.co.uk/shop...raps-c-54.html

The sales manager at Hirsch liked this so much, hes asked if he could use the photo in their newsletter.



My Explorer on the darker Principal.



My SAR on a waterproof Hirsch Mobile. These come in blue or red also.
