5513 Sub today. Very pleased with this strap combo. Used to have a rough grey suede on this most of the time when not using the bracelet but this nubuck from Delugs looks even better I think.

Speaking of straps... I managed to remove the screw bars from the Breguet.

My initial attempt a few days ago didn't go too well, I managed to remove one of the securing screws but failed to get decent purchase on any of the others. I thought I would leave it there and try to get the boutique to do it for me. However, since there's no boutique where I live and since I got a little too impatient to wait till December when I could visit one, I tried again with the thought that maybe the screwdrivers I used weren't sized correctly. This time I succeeded using a set of Bergeon screwdrivers; 0.8mm for the securing screw and 1.2mm for the main screw bar. The gold screws are very soft so its imperative the right size is used, I caused some *minor* damage to one of the main screws trying to use the 1.0mm on it but no big deal as I shan't be using it ever again.

Anyway I now have a Breguet with essentially drilled lugs. Easy to use with regular spring bars with or even better with quick release bars. The open lug holes don't look much worse off than when they had a screw to my eyes at least and I'm quite looking forward to being able to swap straps around on this. The navy matte gator from Delugs looked perfect on the Tradition, I also tried the Ischia green gator though it didn't look quite as well suited as it did on the GO Panograph. In any case I plan to acquire a few more straps, like a Saffiano black and a classic brown gator to start with. Maybe something a little more adventurous too eventually, perhaps along more casual lines?

ps.There is a danger of the ends of the spring bars wearing out the threads though. I would never go back to screw bar and I've never sold a watch so Its not a huge concern for me but it was worth mentioning.

Beach walk and then the errands I didn’t do yesterday. And resetting some watches.

@tempocalypse, you are a brave man. Love the Breguet on the blue strap.
@Samanator, that first picture makes it look like an innocent, regular Speedy. But then the colors come through on the other pictures. Really nice.

Credor for me today.

A perfect strap color.

... this nubuck from Delugs looks even better I think.
