Diver 15710ST Strap Options

Keen to see what straps people have on their 15710ST as considering mixing up a bit with an alternative to the standard black.

Diver 15710ST Strap Options

I have no photos of my own but having seen quite a few on here, the white strap on the black dial version looks pretty cool.

Token - I’m very curious to hear the story behind Lord Kitchener if you don’t mind sharing

Story behind the LK tattoo is pretty straightforward. My Great Grandfather was a stretcher bearer in WW1, losing an eye and being awarded the Military Medal for bravery in the field as a result. My sleeve starts with his medal on my shoulder, followed by my grandfathers cap badge (WW2) and then the WW theme continues down, ending with the famous LK recruitment poster.

The sleeve is not a celebratory or happy one, but is an every-day reminder of the sacrifices made by so many.

Very poignant reminder never to forget. Especially with Remembrance Day around the corner.

Thank you for sharing. My father & brother served as well so know full well the respect these men and women deserve.

I’ve had mine on the white and blue rubber that it comes with. I also ordered an orange rubber from Strapaholic, was only $46 so will see how it works out. I also bought a brown calf leather strap from AP Bands but had to return as I could not get it on.

I definitely plan on getting some more colored rubber straps, including, yellow, orange and grey.

Have the 15707CE and am stuck with stock black or AP orange. Have thought about the orange camo Horus makes just for a whirl.

Ben showcases a number of straps in this thread below. I'm really into khaki and camo so I'd look at the OEM khaki and a black camo, maybe the Horus one.
