So here's what happened: I was at the mall last weekend trying to buy my wife a last minute valentine's gift :shock: and was surprised when I saw that a local shop had Hirsch Straps since 95% of the times i've searched for a strap locally all I was showed were some cheapo chinese leather strap:X, so I quickly bought one and had only one watch in mind, My Tissot Seastar, i've never liked the bracelet that came with it since it feels kinda cheap.. Once I tried it on it FELT GREAT!! Only thing I would like is for the strap to be the same width as the lug width but we can't have everything we want can we  .. The leather quickly softens up and feels super comfortable and good quality finish.Once I had it on I decided I didn't "love" how it looked on the Tissot so I decided to try it out on some of my watches so it's been kinda tryouts week and they're all competing for the strap :P.. Please tell me which one you like the most, here's how the tryouts went.....: 1. Tissot Seastar  2. Hamilton Navy  3. Bernhardt Sea Shark  4. OM  Which do you guys think looks best? Here goes a couple of more pics of the strap...    Hope you enjoyed the pics...

I like this strap and the patina it got: I allways liked those racing/rally straps even I don't own any/// It's just a matter of time... You can see the thickness of the leather through it: It gives a nice depth effect, solid look and shows the material itself. I would definitively go for chronometers or busy dials for a strap like that. Your Tissot chrono and the Hami are looking good with it in fact. But in my eyes, it's less fitting on a pure diver with simple dial... At the end, I would go for the Tissot: Because of the nice chrono dispatch hand6.gif

My honest opinion? NOT on the OM. Doesn't match at all. The OM, in my opinion only, looks best on its steel bracelet and then on rubber. Best combo for me would be on the Bernhardt (looks very classy) and then on the Tissot (gives the strap lots of character). I'd stop there. The Hami looks great on a simple strap. Congrats on the strap. Heard a lot about the Hirsch lines.hand6.gif

Thanks for the comments guys, indeed I didn't like the OM combo at all! It looked really awkward :X... On the other hand I liked the Hammy and the SS combo, the Tissot is still in the race LOL..

That Tissot chrono should wear the rally strap - period!
