If you want to bring new life to an old watch, I recommend getting a new strap or bracelet for it. They really don’t cost much, and it can totally change the look of a watch. It can turn a dressy watch to casual and give a more sporty look. I recently replaced the strap on my Kinetic. The bracelet is nice, solid links, and as held up well, but it is a little heavy and has no micro adjustments. So, I went out and spent less than $10 on a crocodile style leather strap and viola:
The watch is much lighter now and looks even more expensive. Seeing how much of a change it made, I was thinking of getting this strap for one of my divers:
Looks like tire treads, costs about $10 on eBay, so pretty affordable.
