I have a little problem

I get strap-happy. I paid $6 for this Suede strap, I like it. It kind of gives the strap a vintage look.

Totally understand, Kyle. It's difficult not to try as many combos as you can.
A vintage GMT makes a great candidate for experimentation.

Looks good. The black bezel and brown band do give it an older look. Maybe after it is distressed in a few years it will look just as cool.

I almost ordered a few straps for a Breitling made from old military bomber jackets.

There was one made with a dark gray leathcer that looked interesting.
