And a bright good morning to all from the sunny Heartland of America, where the Drake Bulldogs are preparing to make a deep run in the NCAA's....b-)
I'm mulling new shoes for the old X-33, and wondered if I might impose upon the WUS community for pics of an X-33 on straps?
Thanks much. Best, John
As a matter of interest, here's the old girl on red carbon....<| (looks better in pic than in person...

Afternoon from drab, grey and cold England:-d
I've had mine on my Seamaster rubber strap in the past...

The strap didn't quite fit where the end-links met the case. Looked good though. It reminded me of the OEM Kevlar/Corramide straps Omega produce which look very similar but fit perfectly. Its also been on my Hirsch Carbon. However, it was very unbalanced on the wrist with this strap, so the bracelet went back on it asap.

I've got to say, forget any other strap option, the X-33 was made to be worn with the bracelet as your excellent picture testifies Johnb-)

I think it looks great on pie, John, but that red carbon looks delicious, too.

I think it looks best on the original ti bracelet or original kevlar (or whatever it was) strap. Everything else looks a bit odd, especially traditional leather/croc straps etc.
On second thoughts, it would probably work on a NATO too.

I'm a big fan as it is on the red carbon, very very nice, although Jim's
looks pretty sweet on the black/white stitch

Here it is on a black double ridge and padded brown calf.
Its leather for me in the winter, then titanium for the summer, here in the sunny South.
