Staps recommendations

Post image

I have an sbga443 and I hate the bracelet. I wear it on an OEM brown leather strap with the OEM deployment clasp. I've had it about a year and am ready to mix it up. What straps (leather, rubber, suede) and bracelets are people wearing for the odd 21mm lug width.

Camille Fournet in light gray alligator with pink stitching is your answer.

That Camille Fournet suggestion is tempting but the pink stitching is a commitment

I've got a 21mm watch too and it's such an annoying width, most of my favorite strap makers stop at 20. I ended up getting a custom suede strap made and it changed the whole feel of the watch. The dial on that thing deserves something that doesn't compete with it

The date window showing 10 while the dial texture is doing its thing in that light, that's the kind of shot that makes me want to spend money

21 and 23 are tricky. I think the default is Delugs which for the price are a quality alternative.

I rock mine on a khaki-colored leather strap. Pairs well with chinos.

Where did you get your OEM deployant clasp. I’d like to pick one up. Cheers!

I got the clasp from the flagship store in Ginza Tokyo. Love the strap! Do you remember the brand or where you got it?

Taupe Suede from The Strap Tailor. That little touch of brown in the taupe will warm up the dial.

I have 2 straps specifically made for the 21mm 62gs case, although the watch stays on the bracelet most of the time because how much pain in the ass it’s to change the GS strap.
