I just picked up a beautiful Luminox diver that comes with a rubber strap. I bought a watchadoo brushed bracelet for it but the bracelet is a bit lighter than the case, although both are brushed.  Is there any way to get the two to match perfectly? I mean, is there someone I can send the watch to or can a jeweler do it?
  If not, what type of strap would you recommend for this model. Here is a photo.  Thanks.

Another nice pickup OP... congrats!  Bet it would look good on a simple black nato... :cool:

Well, I have a 22mm black Zulu. That would work too, I think. Thanks.

I would drop a Freda strap on that watch. $29.95 shipped. Search back a few threads here created by Tony D. for more info. I bought one and really like it. I now have it on a new Zeno that I will try and post later. I'd recommend the black version with contrasting white stitching for that watch. Available at: http://www.fredawatchstraps.com

Mcwright,
  I know many guys like the contrast stitching but not me. What about a strap with matching stitching? Does the same strap come like that, or would you recommend another?
  BTW, no one thinks the watchadoo SS would look good, huh?

Problem is, most sport straps other than rubber or synthetic have contrast stitching. Dress watch straps will have matching stitching but they won't look good with that watch. I'm not crazy about the Watchadoo bracelet for that watch either.

You can simply dye or use a permanent magic marker to color the white stitching as a last resort. Keep looking or someone here will come up with something.

I too used to not like contrast stitching. But, I have changed my tune. :)

Right now I have a black Zulu on the watch and it looks great. But after doing some reading at Tony D.'s post and others, I also like the straps available here: http://www.internationalwatchman.com/home.html.
His prices are among the very best I have seen online. Does quality match the prices?  You can't save a copy of the photos on his website, but if some of you care to look, I especially like the "Distressed Aviator" straps under Sport Watchbands.  What do you think of that one for my Luminox? Heck, it's only $6.00! And did you see the genuine Croc straps for $35.00? Thanks. This is the best watch forum!
