^^^^^ Thanks. It's one of my favourites that I also wear on my GMT Master. It fits with my preference for vintage/rustic straps, rather than shiny. :)

It's made by JPM for Bulang and Sons. Link here.
https://shop.bulangandsons.com/watch-st ... strap.html

DISCLAIMER - best stop once you have looked at the link to the specific strap, as checking out the rest of their strap selection could be injurious to your wallet.

I have bought other JPM straps from Watch Obsession, who tend to charge less than Bulang, but WO don't stock the canvas one.

Richard, when did you change to this from the newer version?
I finally decided to swap in February this year. This one is a late (2012) 16570. Definitely one of my better watch-related decisions.

Today, it's this one:

I've had this NTH BARRACUDA watch by Chris Vail at Janis Trading sitting new in box for a couple of months and I just couldn't get on with it.
Today I forced myself to take off the oe bracelet (still wrapped and unsized) and fitted an old friend, my waxy tan leather yellowdog nato: the magic is working....

Finally back from a total service after a detour to Canada to be replated. Total restoration price - £155. To save a piece of history that helped fight for our freedom from a cockpit of a spitfire or hurricane or whatever....surviving the insurmountable odds of WW2. bargain :)
Amazing transformation well worth the wait. I'm guessing it's a keeper?

I keep coming back to the polar 16570 in my watch-dreaming. I must have tried these on at least half a dozen times. Have you tried it on alternative straps?

So far, I have only tried it on the Everest rubber strap:

It works so well on the bracelet, I've not yet bothered with any leather straps...
