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 me want a salmon skin roll down at the sushi place) It's almost too long for me; I'm on next-to-last hole
Close-er-up of the dial colors with a black NATO
Another NATO with matt hardware, this looks pretty nice
Black glossy leather Sinn strap
Sting Ray
Black leather flat matt or semi-gloss
Ochs & Jr. orange strap with ti buckle - Paul "builds" this watch too
Dark grey with black shark strap - looking good Billy Ray!
Dark Blue -black shark strap with white stitching
Diver rubber strap
Carbon fiber look (ignore red stitching)
Dark green-grey ostrich looks very nice. Too bad it's 19mm or I'd have it on right now
MIH watch rubber strap fits perfectly (Paul builds this watch; although the lugs are very different they have the same gap) and for fun, a Sinn ti bracelet
Silberstein bracelet with interspersed shiny and matt links brings out the contrasts on the Gerber too
Trial run on the shark, just for fun. Too bad this is a 20mm strap, not 22 as needed. But it works
Shark or ostrich get my vote. If you want rubber, perhaps you could order an MIH strap from Paul or Beat. It comes in 2 different lengths (get short one)

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...
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 tanta...
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
