I think I now see why some people can't stand nylon straps and others have a mini collection of them, having realised that the sleeves under which the watch sits play a much more prominent role than they do with a bracelet.

I was pretty pleased with the look of the brown zulu strap I bought ... when wearing a T-shirt and a light brown jacket. With my bright orange shirt it just didn't work at all.

Suffice to say I will be ordering more straps. Black and orange should be delivered tomorrow...

But what to wear with the red/white/blue?

didnt think brown would go well with blue and red... would prefer the orange instead...

I prefer solid black & gray NATO straps.

There's always one that'll work.

(Oh, and for your orange sweater, this!)

Here's mine today....I think it's pretty snazzy.

IMO, I think solid gray and black are tough to beat for any SS Rolex watch...

Some rather creative combos

Just remembered I have this one, and still haven't found a watch to suit...

Now we're making progress...

Some look really good. Others, not so much.
