2 New Straps for 2 Classic Watches

[MikeyP]

The summer months are always rough because my wrists sweat and the metal bracelets on my watches get glued to my skin. I decided to try out a few new straps so I could loosen my watches throughout the day.

I bought the Hirsch Liberty in brown for the Speedmaster. Always thought brown straps looked great with the Speedmaster. Wanted to go with something other than a Medici It is a calf leather strap treated with natural oils. I hear it can develop a nice patina like the Medici. I particularly like the stitching. It was very soft out of the packaging and does not need a break-in period. Only negative is that it is fairly thick and looks thick on the bottom with a thin wrist like mine.





Second is a strap from Bradystraps. Sailcloth pattern in leather, but it is good in the water according to the manufacturer. I chose red stitching to go with the red accent on the second hand. It is a great micro texture but does require some break-in as it is fairly rigid. The buckle is a large brushed stainless buckle--very sturdy. A good thickness and sits well on the wrist.





Sorry if this review got a little long, let me know what you all think!

Love the Brady straps. I have a few of them myself.

Thanks! I think so too. I've actually gotten more complements on the Seamaster now that it's on the strap. Go figure...

I bought a Hadley Roma with white stitching for my speedy. Looks awesome as do yours!
