Favorite combo: Seiko w/ Orange & Black rally strap. This is neither my favorite watch nor strap, but they look like they were made for each other.

Least favorite: The 16mm factory strap is just way too thin for such a bulky watch.

Favorite:
Mondaine Giant on red fluoro. Shows what a strap can do to improve wearability. I love the Mondaine design, but didn't wear it much because the original black leather strap felt so dressy, something I am usually not.

Least favorite:
Eone Bradley on original mesh. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of mesh. But I can't believe this is how the watch was sold- with a strap that doesn't match the case. At least it matches the indices?

Wonder if they were counting on the fact that the typical target market for the Eone wouldn't notice?

That audience would have a heck of a time with the clasp on that strap as well. With unimpaired sight it takes me a few tries to get it right.

Came on a leather strap. Straightaway I knew this had to go on a BOR.

Nope, nope, nope.

Fave watch/strap combo:

Image

Moonwatch on anything is pretty unbeatable, but I always felt it being on a sailcloth strap perfectly sums up the utility of the speedy.

Least fave combo:

Image

Was a tribute to my country's flag colour, but it just feels like a big nope.

So either Romania, Chad, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, or Moldova?

Throwing my hat in, with only 40 posts it's a pretty good chance.
This is the least favourite, just cheap, stiff, scratchy two piece nato that I thought would work on the Samurai but just made me uncomfortable.
Image
Most favourite; never had a strap fit a dial so well, its flexible and soft and feels good, and being single pass doesn't add the bulk of a normal nato.

Least favourite - Horrible strap - Hard to remove and put on plus a dust magnet. Even the keepers don't sit in place.

favourite - considering i hate NATOs(on my wrist not on someone else's) in general, this is the only watch that looks right on my wrist with this strap.

Favorite Paring -

(Strap from 7Strap!)

Image

Least favorite (I actually love the strap, and the pairing, but the mis-sizing -see 12:00 side- from a brand like Tudor is inexcusable.....)
