Alternative GMT II Straps/Bracelets

Hi all,

What have you all tried on your non-ceramic bezel GMT other than the oyster bracelet? Pics please :D I know the Jubilee looks good, any leather out there?

Look forward to seeing some pics :D

I saw an Expy on a black leater strap in Miami.

It was used but it looked damn good!

I do like the look of leather straps, but I always come back to the stainless bracelet.

You guys have got to check out APB watch straps. They are 100% bespoke, hand made in Paris and come in any size, variety or style you can create.
Expect to pay approximately £300 - £500 for a one off creation.
I've just ordered one myself for a Ltd Heuer Monaco I own with a Paul Newman undercase.

Leather looks good.
Besides the oyster and jubilee I've strapped on some nylon.
