Heuer Monnin - new strap?
Hi all - after briefly considering putting this up for sale, I have instead decided to put a new strap on it. For this watch, what would you choose: a leather or a NATO strap? Leaning towards something leather but an olive NATO would be killer.
Thanks - just looking for some quick ideas.

For the brief time I owned one (and I want another one), an OD green or tan nato looks awesome:
Leather (with minimal stitching) or canvas would also work:

“OD”?
Canvas is a great idea.
NvM - got it. Olive drab.
Any specific makers?

Olive NATO is perfect.

Thanks all - maybe try both. Contacted Drew via IG for a canvas strap. I have a Toxic strap but in orange - high quality item so will go that way again if nato. That jungle green Shiznit looks pretty sweet.

Re: Heuer Monnin - new strap?
What about something like this to pick up the red on the dial? Doesn’t have to be a MN strap, I know I’ve seen some Natos that were similar.

Brown leather, canvas or Ericka’s MN would all look good.

Ha! If I do, I will definitely post it here first (and include the MN strap). However, I really like it.

Awesome. Can’t wait to see what it looks like. I’ve been wanting to order one to try on my Pelagos - just can’t decide on the color.goaliechris wrote:Ordered - added the red cross stitching.
