Re: Scan Weekend: Strap It On!!
In Response To: Scan Weekend: Strap It On!! ()

Bracelets, bands and NATO have always been part of the experience to me, swapping them with the same watch allows to enjoy a different watch each time.

I could not say which one is my favorite, the joy is certainly to enjoy many different combos coming from the original period factory bracelets and bands to the NATOs through the Tropic, custom bands and whatever can magnify the beauty of our vintage Heuer.
Italian straps are now needed to complete the journey.
My urges change from Autumn/Winter with more classy items to Spring/Summer with more colorful bands and obvious Tropic and NATOs.

Here are some of my favorites combos

Custom racing band made from goatskin

Another one made with ultra tanned leather

Colorful NATO

Original black Cofarm, the perfect combination with the goldie (plated)

Exotic leather for the Verona

another one for this dressy Carrera

This bracelet was a beauty

Custom vintage beige for the 1533

Squared holes Tropic for the knockabout

White Tropic was OK with my daughter, sorry Schaun

Custom racing for the Skipperera

The NATO is also a joy to wear

Same for the Seafarer

here with an alligator strap

Both Seafarer bands based on the guidance of Smat, thanks again my friend !

Worst experience ever, no comfort

Always loved the 70s feeling of these bracelets

and as a conclusion a last colorful Heuer combo

Sorry for the load of pictures, this is a great and fun topic !
Vintage Heuer are specially well designed to welcome many combinations.
Imagination is the limit, not the Heuer, as always.

Cheers,

Laurent
