What's on your wrist? / What are you wearing? (WRUW)

Newly acquired Silverstone Anniversary Edition, this one in blue. (Only needing the ONE in red now.🤪) The leather strap wasn’t a good fit, lug width was short. So I added this cheap Casio bracelet. Kind of gives it a vintage vibe and feel, to my eyes.

Congrats @HoltzPlatz!
Looks great! But I hope the Casio bracelet is just a stop gap solution. Did it not come with the OEM croc rally strap? That's one of my favorite TAG straps, I sometimes use it on my Monaco.

If it is indeed an original strap it now measures 21mm. The gap wasn't much of a concern as it's mostly hidden. But I just wanted to add some metal to it as an old original NSA is prohibitively expensive, half the price of the watch! 😒

Yes, that's the OEM strap. Mine is just under 22mm, perhaps 21.6 or .7 mm. It seems there's some variance on these. But as you say, the gap isn't noticeable as it connects on the underside of the Silverstone.

I hear you on the vintage NSA, especially if Heuer signed. If you could find a suitable end-link, I think there's a good chance you could get the modern Monaco's NSA style bracelet to work on your Silverstone. The Casio bracelet does kind of suit the look of the Silverstone, I just prefer an OEM Heuer-ish look, but that's me.
