Help me pick a strap for my sbgx065

[jswing]

While I applaud your taste in women, I'm not feeling the brown strap. I'm no help here, I would just keep it on the bracelet.

Regarding the other issue, I don't drink any more, but I still make rash purchases that one would typically make while drinking, so it's possible it's not the alcohol.

The Nomos straps are nice and probably a good match to the size of the case as they aren't very thick. I'd probably choose a lighter color for a blue dial, but that is hard to judge until watch and strap are together.

Was thinking the same.
Any preferred sources for good straps that offer variety?
The 19mm lug width doesn't help

Kinda like this one as well

You probably don't need to limit yourself to 19mm straps. My SDGZ013 had 20mm lugs and easily fit a 21mm strap I wore it on, and all my vintage Seikos with 19mm lugs take 20mm straps.

I probably should have mentioned that the reason I would personally keep it on the bracelet is that I'm color blind*. I have enough trouble picking a strap for a black or silver dial, finding the right strap for a blue dial would be a mine field for me.

Edit: * this also negates any option I have about the brown strap.

Light brown or tan should look nice with the blue dial

This. Damn that watch is killer.

I don't like that burgundy Hirsch at all. Too shiny and the color doesn't work with a blue dial. This might be too vintage looking, but I like the color.

IBM had a dress code in the 60s that prohibited wearing blue and brown together. Just saying.

I am not a fan of leathers with a lot of red in it. I think blue needs dark brown if any brown at all.

These days, I gravitate toward only grey straps if I'm not using the bracelet.

Grey or Blue NATO

[toxicavenger]

Art gray leather strap on it would rock but the bracelet's are excellent imo.

Mark and Rob are correct -this one should stay on the bracelet.

[JP Chestnut]

Blue/Tan is a super summer combination.

Yup.

Bracelet for me.

Thanks a lot to everybody for the kind replies.

Yep I'm aware brown/blue is not textbook classy but I think at times it works well.
I am from the mountains of Italy, areas where just a few decades ago farmers would have sexual intercourse with goats or cows, so style is not exactly ingrained in my genes

This is still common practice in certain areas of Colorado Springs.

[amckiwi]

Are there goatskin straps out there?

[Dedalus]

Beautiful watch. I'm also for the bracelet, but I tend to prefer bracelets for all my watches.

[Panerai7]

And I have horween chromexcel black ash, which has a grey pull up



But I dont have goatskin at the moment
