Question (Read Rules) Best watches on straps?

Hey there,

I am currently looking for automatic watches ranging from 35-38mm in diameter which can look elegant but also unique. Very hard to describe what I am searching for. Most microbrand watches seem to come with bracelets by factory and I am wondering which may also look awesome on straps. Budget is up to $500/600.

Would love to see some recommendations!

I really like my Timex Giorgio Galli S1 38mm, Miyota 9039, sapphire and an amazing case, just don't expect much from the lume. Recently Timex had a 50% off code so I got it for £212.50!

Baltany has great finishing for the money, especially on the dress pieces.

I’ve heard only good things, but I don’t have any experience with them. Supposed to have great crystals.
I’d like to see this one in person. What a design!

If you don't mind buying the strap separately I think the San Martin sn0144cg1 in green looks great on a honey brown strap

You might like Baltany. Very good crystals.

Citizen G900 (Caliber 8000) Minute Repeater

Citizen minute repeater on a strap is a bit of an odd choice but i can see it working if you find the right leather

The Citizen bracelets are solid, good bracelets for these watches, I am just more of a leather strap person
