centaur Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've only seen 6583s mounted on Bond NATOs or rivet bracelets so I'm wondering how to pair it with a nice protein based strap. My assumption is that something smooth like ammo (maybe the Ted Su below?) would work better than an exotic skin but am really curious about your experiences and suggestions. The other thing, of course, would be what color leather and stitching to tie with the gilt dial and hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'd suggest a Tropic-style strap, so as to not compromise the watch's ability to get wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 My generic answer to everything is a dark brown croc strap- DBCS, My 5508 is on a DBCS also As well as this old CN 16610 rep And the 1016 too So I guess you can see a pattern here... I might have a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centaur Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 You certainly got your point across, especially with the 5508 since the look is really close to the 6538. I'm really liking it on the Pepsi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcotter Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Centaur, Look at a Hirsch Liberty which is saddle leather w/ off white stitching, they come in tan,med brn & dark brn...They will serve your Sub beautifully.....Alligoat, I too like the dark croc yet the off white stitch is stunning especially if it's hand stitched!

prdubis Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 And what about a leather NATO from Gunny? $75 but two months to be delivered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanshogun Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Some member here has a vintage piece on a black stingray. It looks very good in deed. And if they weren't so damn endangered I'd love a great White strap for my great White, but the moral and ethical cost is far to much for me to consider this.
