Not working for me, to be completely honest. Lovely watch though.

Yikes ... no crocs on vintage ! Just my humble opinion ... a smooth leather vintage strap works best.

It seems off centre slightly. Overpowers a lovely watch, seems to be more strap than watch.Big fan of the Jubilee bracelet.

Maybe plain leather or a nice nato?

I’m not seeing it myself. A non-padded leather strap may be a better choice if you want to get away from the bracelet.

A weathered "distressed"plain brown strap with the white stitches at r angles near the spring bars works better for me. Great to have lug holes to easily do all this though!
Sure is beautiful GMT you have there!

Leather is fine if you enjoy it. I use it on all of them eventually. My TT 1675 is killer on that black croc. :)
