WATCH POP

Hi, does anyone have an opinion as to whether this strap would look good on a Planet Ocean or maybe a Seamaster GMT (black dial). Do you guys think a black bezel watch can look good on a brown strap? I'm kinda thinking of going for a 1930's vintage military look. Any opinions would be greatly apprecitated. (By the way, I posted a similar article before that got pulled becasue I forgot the rules, sorry about that). Here is a pic of another possibility, please excuse the watch it is attached to ;-) have a good night everyone. I think the general viewpoint was that the first strap option you have here looked terrible. Sorry to be blunt, but I think so as well. It looks (as someone else mentioned), "very 70's hippie" and not in a good way.

Interestingly, that strap is the same one I had on my first watch ever, a manual wind Bradley Smokey The Bear model from the 1970s. I must have been 5 or so when I got it and I stil have it (but on a different strap as the picture below shows). I recall the original strap was not even leather but plastic. I had it serviced a while back but it is out of commission again and more just something to look at. It's also very, very small.



I am not wild about leather straps on Seamasters - except for the PO models where the straps all seem to be a bit more stylized (ex: orange leather, black with some orange stripes, etc.).

If you really want to put the GMT on a strap, maybe a carbon fiber model might be interesting and sporty.

Jonathan but it wouldn't be my first choice
Omega f300 Tuning Fork, Omega Speedmaster Professional "Snoopy Award" Limited Edition 3578.51.00, Porsche Design by IWC 3702, Omega Seamaster CK 2518 (c. 343), Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish A17360 maybe a pilot's / flieger style watch would be a nicer fit. The 2nd strap I think could work better. In my personal opinion OMEGA already offers a good variety of straps from different materials and diverse color combinations for the Semaster Planet Ocean series. Sincerely I don't think that a pilot's strap would enhance the appearance of a diver's watch. But again, this is only my own opinion. I put my 41mm Railmaster on a similar strap and I love it. But then again, the Railmaster does have a bit of a Flieger stlye to it.
