I love the distressed looking leather one around the 4:00 minute mark. Gives it more of a "timeless" / vintage vibe, look, feel. Also, supporting Ukraine in anyway is a nice bonus. Thanks for making this!
Great video 👍. That watch looked amazing on those first 3 or 4 straps. Definitely a watch you can wear almost everyday. I have the bronze version version which I love, but not nearly the strap monster that is...
Great video. Hope the algorithm is nice to you! Liked the video 👍 funny you didn’t like the bond because I think the gray matches the matte case. Everyone has different tastes!
@@strapchoice3001 coming back to watching this 2 weeks later, I actually completely agree with you about the strap selections. I have some straps to buy now!
On Aliexpress Natos: I order all my Nato straps from Aliexpress for about € 3 including shipping. They are the exact same stuff you'd get from any local dealer or watch manufacturer. In fact I ordered a grey spare strap for my Seiko DressKX 61 (which comes on an admirality grey Nato) and I found it indistinguishable from the original Seiko strap - except for the Seiko's beefier, branded buckle. Of course there's always the Omega version for a mere € 340,00 (not a typo). I like your musings on watch band aesthetics and also your pleasing photography/lighting. Looking forward to further videos.
Good video. I never noticed that gap with regular straps on watches with long lugs. But now thinking back, it is why some watches looked off to me. My Seiko SNK’s and dressKX have short lugs so I don’t notice the gap.
Nicely done…and congratulations on your very inclusive and well produced strap video! I will be looking for more of your work soon. Also, I recommend you adding a story about yourself, your interest in watches…and the pieces you have purchased, as well as when and where you wear them. Add a bit of your obviously interesting life experiences so we are not just looking at, well, products or things. Btw, what’s your take on the Hamilton Khaki with the Day/Date complication? Again many thanks and best wishes from ‘The Windy City’! Bill
Thnx Bill! People like you make this fun to do! Tell about me... I don't think thats very interesting altough how i got into watches may be funny. Perhaps I'll add such a little clip later. The khaki day-date. Isnt that the khaki king? I must say I think Hamilton has quite the line-up. I went with the mechanical but there are hardly any wrong choices with these guys!
Okay, this video is only 16:26 minutes long, but according to your watch, it took 26 minutes to make! Seriously, great video, I liked the black leather strap the best. Bond NATO is a close second.
Great video really a pleasure to watch ... I've got both the dress kx and the hammy and boy you can go to town with them because of the lug width 🤙⌚👌😝👏
i liked this video, one thing for future videos id want to see a wrist shot of every strap option, not just a few. I really wanted to see a wrist shot of the desert colored single pass canvas nato :) I would also love links to buy these, but I understand the problem with that since they are bought a while ago, thanks for the show nonetheless
@strap choice thanks so much for excellent video. I would like to know what exactly the name of those from Zuludiver. I would like to get one for my watch too. The military green?
A suggestion...perhaps try a bigger variety of colors? It seems you have a large bias towards green/black/charcoal/muted colors. You tried a few diff materials and styles, but the colors were all so similar. Even if its not your style, others may get inspiration from it because it works for them (prob the main reason people are viewing strap vids). Nice video though!
I always liked that canvas strap that you bought from aliexpress but Im a little worried about the edges fraying. How is the durability of the strap in your experience. Great video by the way.
I just got my first khaki H7055450 and extremely excited to get more straps and if you can suggest me some stuff, would be nice! At the moment i have 1 blue rubber with diamond patern lined up for at the middle along the strap and smooth black rubber strap.

Nice video (of leuke video!😉) I have a question that someone here probably can help me with. I've tried a lot of lugs but most of them rust and break very quickly. I've got some fat lugs that are good, but they don't fit in a lot of watches. Does somebody know where you can get good quality lugs, in big quantities? Looking forward to new videos
This is the sort of watch stuff I’ve been looking for since I got into them. I don’t know why it’s not done more - thank you much! =D
It'll be done more 🙂
Hamilton Khaki Field, the original strap monster, looks good in any combination
Great video, perfekt lighting! All the straps looked amazing on that Hamilton, especially the bond nato imo it makes it look like a modern field watch
Thnx Felix!

Kudos for supporting Ukraine. From a Ukrainian searching for strap options for his M-HKR field watch (basically a Khaki Field Mechanical by looks) ☺
Everything works. What a beast of a watch
Strapbeast :)
Great combos. Really wanna add this to the collection.
Keep up the great work. Enjoyed your first video!
Thank you Matthew!
Great video. You gave me a lot of options to choose from which is hard to find on TH-cam.
Thnx Misael, i felt the same way so i made the video.
Great video 👍. That watch looked amazing on those first 3 or 4 straps. Definitely a watch you can wear almost everyday. I have the bronze version version which I love, but not nearly the strap monster that is...
I like the last one!
I like that green army nato, actually i am used to buy some cheap nato strap too, just to let its color fade.... The old fabric vibe is the best👌
Superb first video. Great job
Thnx Mike, let me know if there is anything you like to see in the future.
Great video. Hope the algorithm is nice to you! Liked the video 👍 funny you didn’t like the bond because I think the gray matches the matte case. Everyone has different tastes!
That is so true. In the vid I may have sounded a little harsh but I just try to be keen on making the best combos. Color-wise they match, no question!
@@strapchoice3001 coming back to watching this 2 weeks later, I actually completely agree with you about the strap selections. I have some straps to buy now!
Great video! Cant wait for the strap show with that Seiko
Thanks a bunch! It's up and running!
@@strapchoice3001 already watched it yesterday let’s goo!! Well done again 👌🏼
Nice combo! Like the video style and this helped me replace my Hamilton nato strap
Awesome video! Great choice of straps and I love changing straps too. Keep it up.
Thnx Nikolaus! I'm working on a new setup to continue this line of vids. Apparently some people like it and I love doing this!

They're a great intro to see what you like.
Would you mind sharing who you bought the Nato straps from?
@@NickG_214 Mine are from Juelong.
great video, good taste! greetings from Italy
7:26 That one. That one is the winner.

It's really one of those things, once you know you'll keep that in mind.
Even though you didn't like it . I thought the Bond nato looked the best . To each their own .
Great video and nice choice of straps too!
Thnx G.K.!

@@strapchoice3001 the best pieces in my collection so far 🤙 and it's a pleasure
Great video for just getting started! Really enjoyed it ✔️☝️👽

Thnx for your input. I think you'll like the next videos 🙂
I’m your 100th subscriber 🤘🏽
Yes you are! Welcome! 🙂
Great video, really enjoyed it!✔️☝️🚀
Thnx bro! Let me know if there is anything you'd like to see in these vids.
Great watch. I can’t decide between this in black or white or the auto in black or silver.
Tough choice, hmm. Can't help you there haha.
@@strapchoice3001 😂 it’s a tough one. Especially since I have the Cooper and I also want the khaki king. But they seem redundant
The white Hamilton is where it’s at
Nice vide. Not sure I agree that a "Bond" NATO strap doesn't fit a field watch though.
Nice video. Thanks a lot!
Can you put a metal band on the Hamilton if you wanted? I am thinking about getting the same watch.
There is already a version of this mechanical version in bracelet
@strap choice thanks so much for excellent video. I would like to know what exactly the name of those from Zuludiver. I would like to get one for my watch too. The military green?
What are the last two weathwr straps please
6:45 - This is "homage" of the 1945 A.F.210 strap.
Are you sure about the first Zuludiver Single pass nato ? is it the desert sand on your video or the army green color ?
It's the sand color
Nice video 👍
Thnx!
Great video 👌👌
Thnx Abhisheik! Shall I do more? 😉🙂
Great vid. But remember to identify the brand and model name of each strap.
I'll do my best to at least have it in the description below!
A suggestion...perhaps try a bigger variety of colors? It seems you have a large bias towards green/black/charcoal/muted colors. You tried a few diff materials and styles, but the colors were all so similar. Even if its not your style, others may get inspiration from it because it works for them (prob the main reason people are viewing strap vids). Nice video though!
Could you let me know how to get french nato strap?
I always liked that canvas strap that you bought from aliexpress but Im a little worried about the edges fraying. How is the durability of the strap in your experience. Great video by the way.
Do people recommend metal straps or leather with field watches or do people usually use rubber or silicone.
Try genuine leather from Italy next time.
I just got my first khaki H7055450 and extremely excited to get more straps and if you can suggest me some stuff, would be nice!
At the moment i have 1 blue rubber with diamond patern lined up for at the middle along the strap and smooth black rubber strap.
A robust mechanical watch..
It sure is!
Nice video :)
Thnx Edgardo!
He! Can you add the link for the vintage green alien express?

1:00 good strap but something tells me that ain't leather lol
Thx
Hi, can you please send me a link for strap on minute 6:38?
Thanks you.
