Nice!

I'm wearing my 14060 on a Toshi strap today! I REALLY like the style of yours!

I bought to wear on my vintage Rolex watches but it was worth a try and share

The buckle is a standard generic 16mm one. If I have any complaints about this strap, and the same goes for my Horween Shell Cordovan strap, is that they taper from 20mm by the lugs to 16mm by the buckle. Now I know a lot of people like/prefer that design, I would have preferred no tapering or only to 18mm.

Here is the link to the shop http://shop.hodinkee.com/collections/leather-straps (hence I have no connection to them)

It is an oversized iPhone 5 photo loaded via the Safari browser, I'll try to take and upload some better ones over the weekend. It looks better in real life vs the photo above.

I just don't get the look. Modern Sub using new strap designed to be vintage-esque, meanwhile a brand new Oyster with Glidelock sitting idle.

To each his own, not how I would wear a gorgeous new SubC ND.

You can buy these straps from Jedly on the forums.

You can also buy them in NYC from Grand Central Watch.

I have many of these straps in variations for my vintage watches. I think it looks bad on my Sub-C and have since kept that on the oyster bracelet. The ceramic and vegetable tanned leather clash too much in my opinion. Further, the Sub-C doesn't fit the straps well - the teeth on the bezel actually tore a whole layer of leather off my strap on the lug portion.

They're pretty much identical (minus the Hodinkee badging on the interior of the strap). They're all made in Italy and Germany and various retailers / dealers sell them elsewhere. Hodinkee actually charges the highest mark up I've seen for the straps.

This is Jedly's website for those that are interested:

http://www.thetimetraveler.co/accessories/straps/

I've bought several straps off him (vintage leather, horween and raw suede) and they are of excellent quality.

Here is what I'm wearing today (apologies for the crap pic):
