    I switch most of mine over to Custom straps in the Fall, "luckily" I have a huge strap collection...so I enjoy the change up. I keep a few on shark mesh, they don't feel quite so cold in the winter.

    Hirsch performance straps are one way you can go. Waterproof leather/rubber. The only strap that can keep my PO off the steel for months at a time. Very comfortable indeed.





    I switch mine around a lot but always go back to the bracelet. I love the bracelets. :-)

    Absolutely not. Bracelet kind of guy for the most part. Only 2 of mine are on leather, a Mickey Mouse watch and a SAS Air.
    Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

    I'm that guy who does it backwards. My wrists expand like crazy in the summer months so no bracelets for me. Most are on them now

    Pushed the bracelet aside on my Accutron for this strap from Crown and Buckle...

    Changing wrist size calls for Glide lock clasp on Submariner or in my case DSSD I love being able to adjust in seconds on the fly!
