    I'm a huge fan of putting divers onto leather:

    Ca. 1969-70 vintage Omega Seamaster 120



    Beijing Liaoning (now sold)



    Lew & Huey Acionna Prototype



    WUS CMF 2012 Dual Crown (now sold)



    Sea-Gull Dragon King (now sold)

    To me it seems wrong for a dive watch to be on leather, there was a time before the Internet that I would use leather because that's all I could find, I would toss them after a few dives, it ok if you don't intend to get the watch wet but there are just to many better choices. My perspective is as a diver not a collector.

    I like the look. If I'm going in the water then I just put the bracelet or a rubber strap on...

    I switch straps for water duty.

    I prefer straps over bracelets, but I love the utility of divers.

    I agree. Looks pretty goofy. This is coming from a collector, not a diver.
