New Strap
Finally broke down & bought a leather strap for my watch @ West Edmonton Mall. I love the look personally. I'm going to order a better strap online, but this will do for now.
It was funny, I called an AD here in Edmonton to ask about leather straps & he almost took it personally that I wanted to change the bracelet. "You can't do that, it comes with the bracelet & that's how it's supposed to be worn." Well, it's my watch & I'll do what I want. But he did direct me to the place where I bought my strap, so I'm grateful for that. |

As long as you like it that's all that matters. I would love to see the watch on a strap like this.

Interesting, but I'm more of a leather kinda guy. Don't ask any more about that!

"Can't do that...comes on bracelet...how it's supposed to be worn."
Glad you disregarded the advice and did your own thing. The watch looks great on that strap. Enjoy it! I have about 20 different leather/NATO/rubber straps I put on my watches. I would probably give that AD a heart attack. |

Although I love my polar Explorer II as it is, I would also like to try it on a strap to see if making it lighter will make it even more comfortable.
Castor, is that a 22mm strap you're using here? |

Nice match between the 4th hand and the strap
