      I've had one of these sitting in a draw for years, it is in needs of a service and a new strap (was never a fan of the original one anyway...)

      Can anyone recommend a strap that'd suit this watch? I'm quite picky, and just can't find one that tickles my fancy.

      Understated yet distinctive is what I'm looking for, but maybe that's a paradox!

        @T4920 love your watch! I have an inspo pic for you. While the pic is not a Tissot, I think you get the idea. With the blue face, I bet you could pull off a teal fabric strap! Otherwise, if you want to do a metal bracelet, I can’t recommend Strapcode highly enough!

          @Autorotate thanks for the inspiration, that teal really pops you're right!

            I was never drawn to blue-faced watches, nor the color teal. I saw this pic on IG and instantly fell totally in love with this set up.

              @Autorotate same story when I fell in love with this watch almost 10 years ago. Since the strap broke I fell into the smart-watch trap, but lately I've been wanting to reject modernity and return to tradition..

                @T4920 LOL! I have and Apple Watch gathering dust. Wore it for about a week. I think I’d rather wear a sun dial… or nothing at all!

                  @Autorotate there are certainly wearable sundial options out there - for example this from Nomos. I have been tempted but I’ve never bitten.

                    @Autorotate I'm just fascinated by the health and fitness insights.

                    My friend's life was also potentially saved by his Garmin watch recently, it identified Atrial Fibrillation a told him to seek a cardiologist immediately!

                        Glad you kept that thing, it's sick!

                        I had two of them, managed to sell one. I was def not trying to get rid of both. It’s pretty cool.

                            This was my first mechanical watch and I‘ve taken this thing just about everywhere, still love it! Pretty darn tough too!

                            Pic is when it was new, need to get a current one with the rubber strap…
