As I have discovered, changing straps on a vintage is quite a bit of fun and gives the watch a different look and feel to cater to every occasion. Love it when change between my NATO,steel bracelets and my recently acquired Attila bund strap, is much like us dressing up for the occasion. While it's fun changing between straps/bracelets, it can be a bit of a chore to change them since have to take off the pins etc so I haven't got into the swing of changing between them regularly.

How often do you guys change straps/bracelets on your vintages for that different look?

Luckily, I have enough watches on a variety of different straps not to have to bother

But if I didn't, then I would probably make the effort depending on what I was doing. So sub changed back from leather to bracelet or Nato for swimming etc. It does make a huge difference to the look.

But, as there is always the risk of scratching the case, I wouldn't recommend it too frequently depending on your dexterity and skill.

I have different watches that I wear in different configurations. My 14060M lives on a NATO as does my 5513. Other than that, everything else just stays on a bracelet. I do not feel the need to change straps/bracelets anymore.

My suggestion?? Buy more watches

I like my brown leather on my Gold Oyster Perpetual Date.

Since I only wear a Nato with my Red Sub, I put a different one on everytime I wear it.
