Strap Recommendation for 217

[jetlau3]

Picked up the EL/Noob 217.

 

Interested in strap recommendations.

 

I'm thinking about a lighter colored brown strap (either ammo or vintage style) .  Sub 7 inch wrist so can't be too long.  

 

Looking to spend sub $100.  What are your recommendations for best value?   Could also pick something up used off the forum.

 

Let's see some strap colors with your gold colored hand PAMs.

Congrats on picking up the EL Fiddy, it's an amazing looking watch!

I've got a 372 wearing a darker coloured strap with natural coloured stitching which works fairly well.

Try Don straps for good value 26mm

If you want a rougher look for jeans and such!

 

I have to give my vote to K-Straps Shrapnel series..

The K Straps look nice but new are probably out of my budget.  I'm also looking for something like a caramel color (something close to the cashmere gold or even OEM calf gold).  Don's dark tan 2 or Rouille wax would be the right colors.. how are these straps?  Seem very cheap so worried about quality.. do they patina/age well?

 

Thanks for all of the posts.. will keep scouring the sales forum

Ended up going for Don's Rouille Wax...  strap is very comfortable.  Thoughts?

Here's my EL217 wearing a strap I sourced from Tatts this summer. It is super high quality and has all the appropriate OP markings. If it is a rep, it's a darned good one! I do like the color combo for sure.
