I forgot whom I bought it from; he is somebody on this very forum...;) The mechana strap is very nice, but also very thick. Does anybody have suggestions how to sofetn it? In fact does anyone have suggestions as to which leather strap is best for the LM-3. I would like to put a light brown to contrast the blue dial. You might get a light brown Enzo strap and change the buckle out but then again it may be the same strap you already have. Same manufacturers make both the Enzo's and LM-3. I have a light brown Enzo here that would look pretty good on the LM-3

I don't mind the thickness - I've actually sent a PM to Enzo about getting a tan strap, but he is away on business it seems. In fact, if you have such straps, perhaps you can suggest some 'conditioning' (short of Goodfellas methods) that can make the strap more supple. I already noticed a softening, after a coiple of hours wearing the watch. But, I was pleasantly surprised by how wearable the LM-3 is. It's not as big as I had imagined, or maybe, I've just gotten used to the Zeno airplane diver. I would say that the LM-3 can also function as a watch 'de elegance' (pronounced like Bugs Bunny). With a slightly thinner strap, the watch has a very dressy feel, an impression no doubt related to the blue dial and beautiful craftsmanship. Feels like a much mor expensive watch. I would not be surprised if it sold at the same price of an Oris or an Omega equivalent in a retail environment. I'm ready to proceed to the Monstrum now and to the next Enzo creation.....

You'll have to ask some of the leather loving guys here. I only wear rubber straps or stainless. I have tons of leather straps I have never used. I might someday but for now, to me it is just plain un-natural to have a dive watch on leather.
