New strap or bracelet for a SRP 777 (black Turtle)?

Mine is on the Seiko rubber. Comfortable, but a lint magnet. I have a spare Strapcode two tone jubilee bracelet. Not usually a NATO fan, they run long on me. Uncle Seiko’s beads of rice entices. Thoughts?

I am thinking Uncle Seiko tropic strap, but leaving well enough alone is a good suggestion!

Uncle Seiko Z199 or one of his new GL rubber straps.

Leaning leather NATO. The Seiko strap is comfy, but a lint magnet.

I think it looks great on both the Uncle Seiko Z199 and BOR bracelet.

Beads of rice looks great. Top one looks more like a jubilee than Z199.

The Z199 does resemble a Jubilee, but I really like it because it's all brushed, has a pronounced taper and is very light. Easily one of the most comfortable bracelets I have worn.

For a strap I’d go with Uncle Seiko’s GL831, there’s nothing more comfortable on my 6309 and 7548.

Mesh is always a good match with a Turtle.

I think the modern Turtle and vintage for that matter look best on the classic President bracelet. Uncle Seiko makes a very nice one but I just looked and he's out of stock. Strapcode also has one but they call it the "Endmill" and it's decent as well. Here's a shot of my 6306 on the Uncle Seiko version.

777 looks good on all kinds of straps, Uncle Seiko BoR, tropic straps, I also have a Bradystraps sailcloth that works well.

I have mine on a BC 284 and love the combo. Super comfy and the strap has a great vanilla smell.
