22 minutes on straps - and not a bad moment in there. i've been watching you for over a year - and wanted to commend you on the evolution of your content. Production quality is getting better and the content feels more authentic to you. Earnest, in the best way. Keep it up!

[@taham33]

Kudos to you for breaking down the different types of weaves of nylon. I didnt know that the type of nato I like is the "tubular" and not the "seatbelt", which is too shiny for me, so thanks for making shopping around a bit easier

[@goldenowl312]

I almost never comment on anything on the Web (just too lazy) but I absolutely love your videos and watch almost every one. Even though I enjoy listening to you talking about different watches this one is so value adding and I (surprisingly) enjoyed this so much I just had to leave some love in the comment section. So comprehensive, detailed and with great shots & commentary on the different pieces! Keep up the great content, you are such an awesome and pivotal part of the YT watch community. All the best.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate the comment and that you’re willing to watch them all!

[@lrbrown]

Helpful content. I’ve tried a few different strap brands and have been largely disappointed. Might try a few of these.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Hopefully it helps!

[@hqt946]

nice review! I liked seeing you fit the straps on each of your watches!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks! 👍

[@martinkaplan1805]

Terrific overview, Harrison. Very helpful and I couldn’t agree more on the impact a new strap has on a watch.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Agreed! Glad you liked it!

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

That Barton looks nice. I always see them on eBay but never commit to buying. Might give them a shot. Nice video!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks!

[@AllTheTimeMods]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one with so many straps that makes me feel better 😅 I'd recommend CWC nato's for anybody in the UK as well looking for good quality. Super durable but so soft and supple. Great coverage over everything.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll see if I can’t get one also!

[@AllTheTimeMods]

@HarrisonElmore I do believe they ship worldwide, I've tried the black and grey and they flow super well

[@ronwolfept]

been thinking of letting go of my P39 but putting it on one of my fav 20 y/o natos has breathed new interest in it.

[@HarrisonElmore]

It makes a difference!

[@kevinp4305]

Great video! I prefer rubber and sailcloth straps as well.

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

Your upload schedule is insane, keep up the great work

[@HarrisonElmore]

Hahaha tell me about it!

[@polygoncoco]

Delugs has been my favourite strap company. Great quality and price

[@HarrisonElmore]

I’ll have to reach out to them

[@drewsaunders4953]

Is that your Coke GMT? I’ve been contemplating a vintage Rolex for a while. You should do a dedicated video on what to expect when owning one and what to look out for when shopping around!

[@HarrisonElmore]

100% I’ll add the content idea to the list! Vintage in general I’m starting to step my toe into

[@petrokersta5293]

I have a few leather, rubber straps, and original bracelets. I tried different pairings. But I wear my Speedy on an OEM bracelet, Marathon GSAR on an orange OEM rubber, and Seiko SARB035 on a brown shell cordovan from Nomos. To me, it just feels right that way :)

[@eurocraftccr]

wow! I can't even think of how long did it take you to make this 22 minutes video but it is the job well done!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Appreciate it! It took a while!

[@mjybeex6016]

👋🏾 Harrison! Stumbled on your channel while researching a watch I’d like to buy. I’m not a collector as you are but was in the market to buy my first “big girl” watch! It’s a tad overwhelming. Would you mind sharing any insight on the Omega Constellation? Not as popular in the US I’ve noticed. Found a 2023 automatic model on Jomashop for like 3k. Not sure if I should pull the trigger. Any thoughts from you would be helpful and my apologies for the bother.

[@Totti7982]

Should’ve shown more different straps on the submariner too, like the speedmaster

[@OrbitingOpposite]

Great video and awesome collection. Thanks for sharing

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks for watching!

[@mcn1ff]

Great video! If you had to choose only one between Artem's Hydroflex, Loopless and Classic which would you go for personally? Thanks!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Hello! Thanks. I would definitely go for the loopless with the deployant. I wear them more than anything else.

[@mcn1ff]

@@HarrisonElmoreperfect thanks a lot for that! It will be interesting to see if they release a Hydroflex on the loopless deployment someday too.

[@HarrisonElmore]

@@mcn1ff They do have a variant of a deployant clasp for their hydroflex. I use that too

[@grahamwatts368]

Wonderfully informative video, thank you for your work and dedication.

[@HarrisonElmore]

My pleasure!

[@grahamwatts368]

@@HarrisonElmore have you tried any products from Liger? I have one of their straps on order but I haven’t been able to find any content on their goods.

[@barryvercueil2346]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Brilliant video. Cheers

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thank you!

[@Ian-wj7el]

Amazing coverage of so many straps! And unique ones as well. Thank you 🎉

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks for watching!

[@BenMwatches]

So good that you have a shout out to Artisan straps He is a great guy and makes quality straps out of Sydney Artem is sweet to Couple of Aussie strap makers

[@HarrisonElmore]

Those two might be my favorites of the bunch. Great stuff coming out from there

[@BenMwatches]

@@HarrisonElmore being in Australia - they are my 2 go to’s Crown and buckle natos And Delugs Are the other 2 I tend to use. Being able to talk to Jayson directly at artisan to custom a strap is perfect

[@pioong7443]

@harrison elmore, do u mind making a video of the loop less deployant clasp on the normal artem sailcloth strap? Already have the normal artem sailcloth but absolutely love the look of the loop less deployan clasp

[@mikemurphy8996]

For some reason I don’t like rubber or leather with Rolex Submariners. The speedy however, works with everything and anything

[@HarrisonElmore]

True! That’s why I tried to use it on everything

[@knight0924]

It’s so true what you said at the beginning about changing the strap before you get rid of a watch. I bought a Baltic MR01 and long story short it really disappointed me from a build perspective, and the tan strap it came on was nice but I didn’t like the aesthetic. It sat for a few weeks but finally I switched the strap to a Fluco taupe epsom and I absolutely love that watch on that strap. It’s a keeper now, even if I don’t think it feels like a $600 watch 😅

[@HarrisonElmore]

I get that! Strap can do a lot though! Sometimes it’s about the look and feel rather than build quality. Enjoy while it’s there!

[@elwynll]

Off topic question but what year is that 16710? I can see its a swiss made dial, no holes case.. but I cant help but notice the rehaut? I though these never had a rehaut? Love the coke!

[@Valera_Scotland]

Bulang and Sons are my favourite by far. Pricey but worth it

[@petrokersta5293]

I bought a green olive suede strap from them. Love the leather, but the buckle is dissapointing at the price.

[@Valera_Scotland]

@@petrokersta5293 that's true actually

@@HarrisonElmore I’m waiting on my uncle Seiko bracelet for my Tudor bb58 to arrive. Excited to experience one of my fave watches without the faux rivets

[@Nosey_Noseworth]

@HarrisonElmore Why does no one talk about Carl F Bucherer? I think they own or are associated with Rolex. But no one talks about them or rates them. Can you enlighten us with a little history and ranking of Carl F. Bucherer watches compared to other tiers? Thanx.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Never looked them up in earnest, but I’ll check them out!

[@emmanuelrodriguez5044]

Possibly! I’ll keep updates coming. I’ve got too many here right now
