And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,

Re: good straps
A bracelet, not a strap. This one. It came with the Loreo chronoscope watch:

Re: good straps
On a more serious note....
Straps have been a tough one to figure out...
I generally like thin soft leather straps that taper down to 20-22mm. If the watch is heavy, then I prefer a little stiffer material so it feels more secure on the strap. I used to run short straps but realize I like them longer.
I don’t get along with zulus and Nato straps.. ..I don’t like metal bracelets, and if it’s my get wet watch, then a soft pliable rubber strap is my first choice.

Re: good straps
Straps have been the most challenging aspect of this hobby. I like them thin, but also strong and a bit glossy; similar to the barenia leather that Hermes uses.

Re: good straps
just received this:Ted Su Rubber Dive buckle and strap
http://www.tedsustraps.com/Dive-Buckle- ... _p_24.html
Wanted to see what it was like, thought i would be flipping. To my surprise its probably the most comfortable strap for the millemetri yet. Rubber v soft and infinite adjustment of compression buckle makes for a very comfortable fit. Yes, buckle is on the large size and it makes whole combo bit heavier, but strangely balances out the mm head on the other side.
