Any wristwatch enthusiasts here?

The only bad thing is I hate these type of straps. I will have custom python straps made and use one of my Rolex clasps.

That's a sharp looking watch, congrats! Love the auto as well.

If it were me I'd be eyeing either a nato strap, or mostly likely a rubber strap with that watch. This would be my personal pick, but with a gold buckle.

Thanks, it also came with this yellow strap that I like way better than the leather one.

The first of my 2 recent watches arrived. I’m not a big fan of metal straps so I swapped it to a cool striped NATO strap I picked up and the clasp broke immediately, hunk of junk. Swapped it with another plain black NATO until I get the better quality striped one I just ordered.

My first GMT and I can already see how nice this will be since I work in one time zone and live in another. Very helpful!

Nice, for fun you can rotate the bezel and get a 3rd time zone you would rather be in.

I like metal straps and am now looking for one for my newest watch.

Totally! I can use the dial for a 3rd.

I should rephrase that though, I don't like THIS metal strap. The watch I have incoming tomorrow I really like the metal strap.
