I wanted to love these (and the 3-hand version) but those hands are too close in size.

I haven't found the hand size to be an issue.

Love it- wish I still had mine…

Thanks; this one is my second.


I should never have sold the first.

Looks good!

I appreciate all the positive comments.


I had to wait for Tom to weigh-in before posting a thank you.

Congrats, Matt. I will make the obligatory recommendation of the Garmin straps. I wear mine exclusively on them and the watch disappears.

I’ve got a few from there that were around $20 (I got one on sale for $10!). They are great straps with flex and good hole placement and they don’t attract dust or lint like silicone. Here’s a red one I got for $18.

I like that strap; I'll have to check them out.

Doing some presentations this week so I'm "deressing up" with my GMT.

Try not to spend too much time staring down at your watch during the presentation.

First time wearing a velcro strap.





I wonder if the pieces of lint on the Velcro are going to make me wacky.

That certainly is a lot of watches sir

Yep, but I've decided not to let it bother me anymore.

I posted this at WUS, as well.

I was asked to pick my top three; hadn't given it much thought until now.

Guess I'd go with these.

You could try putting the strap on a position that feels loose. Then add self-adhesive moleskin or similar product on the inside of the strap. One or two pieces as needed, to snug it up. You could place it on the casebook of the watch, but that might leave a residue when removed. Hopefully, others h...

Big congrats Matt, I picked one up a few months back. Hasn't been off my wrist.

I know why, feels great on the wrist.

FXD on watchsteward strap. I keep coming back to these for the FXD since there is no fabric under the watch.

Brand new FXD owner weighing in.

I don't mind strap under the watch.

It's currently on a double pass Haveston strap (20mm).

Great news (for me), the watch just arrived and I really like the blue on this version. I knew prior to purchase the OEM straps would run small for me and I would need to order aftermarket straps. I'm working through the FXD thread on WUS for strap ideas. In the meanwhile, I have it on a 20mm Havest...

Longer hand set would work better.

Even in the Florida sun it’s a much deeper blue than a standard Pelagos.

After seeing this, I checked the seller's pictures to see where the crown is on mine.
