Photos of your 1675 on a strap?

I almost never wear my GMT 1675 anymore, and am wondering if switching out the SS strap will help motivate me to wear it more. Now the question is, what color strap and what material should I get? Would love to see what other people have used for their GMTs. Thanks!

Anything but a NATO or a two-stitch leather strap. :-)

I've never, ever liked the 1675 on a strap. I've tried many combinations and never settled on any. A rattly jubilee is the only way to go with these.

A two stitch leather strap. Now, that's a new one on me. I'm scratching my head on that one. Let's see one Dan.

I have been known to have one on two GMTs that I wear on a strap.

Except a Pepsi GMT. I don’t know what it is…black bezel is better, but still not awesome.

Those are some nice combinations and very complimentary. The Pepsi seems to be a little more difficult to find a strap that looks good. Although, the more faded the insert, the better the straps look on that reference IMHO.

I do have a strap I have been eying for my 1675/3 but do tend to like it more on the bracelet. Wore this one for about 24 hours. Wrong color…
