Well, not really guy's but that would truly undervalue your opinions to me.

Happily in receipt of my Steveo Ruff Rider strap from 'across the pond', I'm looking at my options.

Seriously considering this one but what do you guys think?







I think it looks particularly rugged amongst these options, and may be particularly well suited to work wear as a military maintenance professional. 





I would have to do minor surgery to accommodate a large tang buckle to go with this option, so I wanted to know what you guys think before she goes 'under the knife;

So is it a Go or No Go?

Thanks 3Ters....

Looks ok but to be perfectly honest, and this is just my 2 cents, the watch somehow seems to age on that stitchless strap. If you want the Zodiac to look worn and really used, the brown strap achieves it. I wouldn't use the white strap at all.

The original bracelet is just perfect and is a perfect match to the entire look.hand6.gif

Thanks for the feedback guys!  I have 'done it', enjoying it for the reason mentioned (rugged look). 

BRP, thanks for being honest, I can see what you mean, doe's kinda make the watch look more 'vintage' in a way, which I'm not opposed to here.  I'm keeping my other (blue-dial) V-Wolf on the bracelet....
:cool:

Nicolas, I doubled back to your watch and spent a few moments looking at it again. You know what, I think you can also explore a mesh on that one. There is a mesh bracelet that's duller than the usual and I think that would be a good combo.

I can't wear mesh. My wrist is just too smallmistake.gif.

I do like that combo with that Steveo Strap hand6.gif  I don't no much about Zodiac Watches but have to say that this is a nice looking one, really like that case and dial.

Ok, thanks again guys.  BRP, I've been on the lookout for a medium mesh for a while now, only mesh I've owned so far was on a Skagen about 8 yrs ago, was quite comfy and I liked the look...but it was a bit on the fine side as far as mesh goes. 

What I like about your idea of mesh on this would be that fitment to the case would be great, as the case is squared and the bracelet/strap attachment is right up against the case.  Sweet idea...thanks BRP!
