Another feature of salmon leather is the lightness
I suspect that the choice of replacement strap for the salmon leather original is lightness as well as colour match.
A titanium watch with a heavy strap would be illogical but just acceptable. It is better than a light strap with a heavy platinum or tantalum watch that slips about.
bearing in mind the 'aviator' style of the original Model 42, maybe a simple thin strap in calf leather or rubber would be nice. preferably in titanium grey but black will do.

Gerber P10 Strap Discussion
We can take this off-line (the 10 of us, he he he), but I want to get some strap ideas. Love the salmon, but it is too long for me and I want to get a couple of others. I saw the stingray in the original thread and think it looks good but it is not my sty...
Just the 10 of us, now that is naughty.
However, you do now form a somewhat exclusive group. Enjoy. Somehow, I do not see this watch with a nato strap, I consider that it needs something a tad more elegant. I look forward to seeing to solution to the problem. Best regards, George
Congrats Jeff!
Another one of us receiving the Gerber! I've been thinking about straps too, but my reason is not because of the length. It's more that I would want to wear the watch more often but didn't want to spoil such a unique strap, so it'll stay with the box. A c...

The salmon is nice and light
And I agree that a replacement would be best if it fit the original set-up / intention of the watch.
Let us know what you choose
I'm going to stay with the Salmon for a while. It's good to be different every now and then. Regards, Richard.
I like the salmon
There is part of me that wants to presere it just because it is unique, but honestly I am only getting a new strap because my slimer wrist requires it. Enjoy your P-10 1.0 as I seek to create my own 1.5 version. Jeff
Your wish is my ... command ( ... excuse to play )
"Pure Purists" please avert your eyes and close the file NOW! Adventurers, please continue. I went through my strap box and also set a couple watches under the Gerber (only a couple straps swapped in reality ) Gerber factory-issue Salmon Skin strap (makes...
