Help me find a strap for this Ball EM II DLC

[Dsaat]

I love the Ball EM II DLC! I've won this watch last year here at the Ball forum and it has been my favorite watch since then. However I would like to try a different strap on it to change the looks of the watch. I'm not sure yet what look I want but I want to try a strap in a different color (not black) and maybe give the watch a more sporty look.

The case of the watch is highly polished and is DLC wich makes it kind of difficult to combine with the most straps. See the pictures.





I have been inspired by the looks of the Bell & Ross watches and am wondering if this watch could combine with a strap like this:



WHat do you think? I would also appreciate some strap suggestion. It can be any color you like if it goes well with the watch.

Thanks!

I vouch for the light tan strap you've chosen... I really like the DLC/PVD contrast with straps like that. You may also want to try a black (leather or rubber if you find them) with blue stitching to compliment the watch's minute indicators

I would think a black sailcloth/Kevlar with either blue or yellow stitching would be awesome.

Definitely not the light tan strap, nor Kevlar, rubber or any other synthetic--I would get a custom made smooth black leather with white (or perhaps blue) stitching from somebody like Toshi, myself.

How about a NATO/ZULU strap? They come in different colors and finishes, i.e, regular, matte, PVD. Definitely will change the look.

I personally like the black and tan look. Even better are the baseball glove straps. The only time I personally would use a NATO is if the watch just does not fit on your wrist with anything else. Now the GGB straps or something like the B&R nylon are OK. If your going for more stealth then all black leather.

Thanks for the replys!

I'm still leaning towards a tan strap with black stitching. I will post pictures if I pulled the trigger.

That is such a cool looking watch - congrats! I'm really not seeing a light tan strap working here (though it would if you had tan or off-white numerals). A high quality black calf with light blue stitching would give the watch a lift.

I went from bracelet to ZULU on this and I've got to say that it is much more comfortable on the ZULU. Here in FL this time of year we go from 90+ outdoors into A/C in the 60's and the minute adjustments come in handy for a perfect changing fit. The bracelet is definately better looking though.

Bravo on the NATO! That looks great!
