The perfect strap for a 000 or 005?

Ok, let's say you could only have ONE strap besides the OEM Rubber, which would it be?

I like that Gunny Paul. The stitching is lower from the lugs than I am used to seeing :)

Can't do it. I'm a firm believer that you should have one each rubber, canvas, brown leather, and black leather. All bases covered. Now, finding the perfect one of each of those.....that's a whole different story.

Having said that, my two favorites are Micha's French Canvas, and Simona's Alegrini Diver version I.

+1

Except I'd expand that to two in calf, and two in an exotic leather like croc, gator, etc.
only accurate watches are interesting

This thread makes me laugh. I must have six shades of tan and you want me to pick just one perfect strap. I would have an easier time solving the troubles in the Middle East.
