MkII Vantage on a US milstrap

I got tired of the OEM rubber strap so I decided to try a one-piece strap on my Vantage.  The NATO didn't look right as there was too much hardware on the strap.  They work best with watches with rotating bezels.  This US milstrap fits so much better.  Very lean and clean.  The military look suits the watch IMHO.

The Vantage is MkII's homage to the ref. 1016 Explorer.  Mine is a custom-made job with a matte-yellow sweep hand and scientific 369 dial.


At 39 mm in diameter it's the same size as the new ref. 214270 Explorer.
