I have an Amphibia which I really like, but I can't seem to get the strap right.

I've tried a few options most recently a nato (heresy I know) and a mesh but it still hasn't quite clicked for me.

I tend to prefer slightly wider straps - 18mm tapering down to 16mm look too narrow to my eyes for example.

Any suggestions?

Some great suggestions here so far, thanks.

Liking the blue edged rubber strap in particular but the only one I can find on Ebay is likely to be a bit long for me at 117/83 - the 83mm buckle side is the killer for me there.

That sting ray strap is mad. Not sure I could pull that off!

Will probably give leather a try too (and I like the vintage look) if I can find a strap that is the right balance of width. Maybe notching is the way to go?

IMO Vostoks go best on Roy`s NHDs...

Ignore the blue rubber strap - it was a momentary lapse of reason
