Loved the big dial. Great! My mom gifted me this on my 23rd birthday.

I guess am just being too mindful about it. So to redirect focus, I've put it on a bund. Planning to get a black one soon. Mileage? Definitely -- its been on wrist in since this morning. Cheers

Whoa! Hey, that's pretty nice! What colour is it exactly because the balance looks to be a little off - at least in the bottom two photos. It seems like an unusual colour for a Bund; maybe that's why I like it so much? Now you've got me re-thinking my initial idea for a strap replacement.

Congrats and welcome to WUS!

Any photos of your Miyota Black?

Thanks, glad you liked it. I had to adjust the color balance to get a sharper image. Indeed it is of an unusual color, and that made me go for it. The eBay seller advertised it as tan-colored:



In actuality however, it is of a lighter shade from the seller’s pic above. Also advertised as genuine leather, though I have doubts – compared to other straps I have, it doesn’t smell leathery to me. Personally its no issue, as its uniqueness prevails.

Ha! I recognised that hang tag. I have one of their "honey brown" Bund straps on my Laco Marine Miyota Lume. It's a very robust strap that will only improve with age and wear. Now you've got me wondering if I should order another one in the same colour as yours; wish they had one in grey as I haven't had any luck so far finding a grey Bund.

Here Uwe, I think these best represent the strap's actual color shade. So far this eBay seller's the only one I've seen having other Bund colors apart from the most often seen blacks, and browns. I recall he even has one that's natural leather color -- though for me it looks too pinkish from the pics. Cheers

Nice bund watch band.

Nice bund watch band.

Thanks, I hope there are more of these non-traditional color Bunds. Cheers

Nice looking bund watch band.

I got a few battle scars on my sub homage Invicta Pro Diver. It doesn't really affect the watch itself, and isn't a real Rolex Submariner. So, I really don't care. I just wear it and enjoy it.
