Fun with straps - or horrifying the WIS 😁

I know there are those who carry a wooden stake and a clove of garlic around against NATO straps and some feel putting a leather strap on a dive watch is sacrilegious. I am known for consuming lots of sheep and goat hair in my straps generally but felt that putting leather on a G-Shock was a must try 😁 Only because no strap maker agreed to make me a cashmere strap for it πŸ˜‰πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ


What are some of your more unconventional strap choices?

Unconventional strap choices

Not strange to me. Your calf looks good to your g shock. Better than their own plastic rubbish KM. NATO, ouch, not thought about that stuff. NATO? huh? straps for G I Joe. The most unconventional i did was … a NATO on a Seiko. As that watch was not made f... 

Looking good on that grey calf strap!

Two piece nylon straps. They are not the best quality but looks wise that was what I wanted.

Ok....

And almost every other combination you have shared. This G-Shock however, does not work for me. I think I’ll offer this picture. When I put this strap on this watch (in 2015 or 2016) I am pretty sure it was the only Vagabondage on the internet mounted on ...  

Definitely a combination that has become iconic πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

I have to say I really like it and I am not at all surprised that you left it as is πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»

You do it yourself so well with many watches and straps.

In this case for me, when it works it works and nothing else would quite top it. It also helps that the watch is not an everyday watch for me, and so one doesn’t tire of the combination.
