So my Condor Elite Rivetted Brown Leather with cream stitching strap turned up this morning :D
Although it's 4mm thick, it's a very pliable and comfortable strap :thumbup:
Fitted it to my C8 Pilot MkI and much happier with the look.

Another combination...
This is one that I hadn't thought of but works quite well in as much as it highlights the seconds track, indice surrounds and hands.

I wanted something to make this look less country club and more rock club. Compliments to the guys at Two Stitch Straps for providing this.

I bought the WatchGecko white and black flyboard strap from Ceegee (thanks Chris it's top notch :thumbup: )
This was purchased specifically for my Newmark NP and very pleased I am too :D

^^^^That does look good Nigel.

I've got the same strap in white, on my C60 2012 FLE JAG, and yellow on my C8 M2.04 LE.

Having seen Guy's C5 Battle of Britain LE on a bund strap (see page 2: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=56191&start=15), decided to see if I could get one. [I guess that makes you an enabler :clap: ].
Unfortunately, the DASSARI Analogue Vintage Leather Bund strap https://strapsco.com/product/dassari-an ... und-strap/ has been out of stock for sometime now so decided to look for an alternative.
The best that I could come up with was this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bund-Fixed-L ... 2625150493 - So duly purchased and arrived this morning.

This morning I decided to have a play with my newly arrived Anonimo Nautilo.
I had a couple of straps (WatchGecko Orange Tropic and a CW Orange Tiber) that were bought for my C65 SC OB and thought that they may work well with the Nautilo.

I've just bought some velcro straps in a few colours. I might unpick the X-treme label to see more of the underlying colour. Only around £5 and a nice alternative to a NATO. I posted a yellow one. Here's a red one .
