In general, IMO metal looks better.... but there are some very nice straps here.

Thanks for the photos! Some really great looking "alternatives" are out there. I've considered a NATO for my Sub, but looks like there are some other options for the GMT and Explorer II as well.

Great photos everyone

I think straps on Rolexes look awesome I just dropped my 1601 at the RSC today for an overhaul and ordered a nice black strap with a cool SS buckle for it through them. I thought I'd give the bracelet a break for a while. I'll post pics once I get it back, but that won't be until January 27th

Keep the pictures coming guys.

Not a fan of sports models like the Sub on straps, but the gold Daytona and Datejust on leather look great!

These two suit a nice strap I reckon. I have also thought about getting an Ostrich strap to try on my white milgauss.

I think some of the straps look fine, but considering how much a Super Jubilee or 18K YG Oyster bracelet costs, it seems odd to replace it with a cheap cloth or leather strap. But that's just me.

Milgauss on leather!

Hi,
This is my first picture and post on this forum.
I became curious of my Milgauss on a leather strap.
I think it is a match in heaven.
What do you think?

This photo is taken by a Iphone.IMG_0171.jpg

im not sure about the sports models on leather straps, although i do thing the gold daytona's look fantastic on the brown leather.

Nato straps on the other hand are something else! love that look!

It seems great minds are thinking alike. Post some pics as soon as you get one. I've still got 21 days before I can pick mine up But I know it'll look awesome

This strap arrived today - a bit of adjustment, a quick flick of the Xacto to get it to slip thru the 401B TT end pieces and here it...wicked comfy.

I expect I'll wear it like this a lot.
