Straps
Some high quality watch straps I like. I love wearing a bracelet too don’t get me wrong but sometimes variety is the spice of life!
Very comfortable mesh strap. The quick release pins make putting it on and taking it off easy. This mesh strap hits the points of what you want without being expensive like some other companies.
Stainless Steel Mesh Watch Band, 18mm-22mm
Best bang for your buck Tropic Style strap. FKM rubber is superior to silicon as it’s more comfortable against the skin and doesn’t collect lint.
I’m a fan of the 1960’s vibes the tropic strap lends a watch.

Sailcloth strap. Looks great and can get wet! Great for when you want a fabric strap but it’s the summer.

FKM Waffle rubber strap. FKM rubber does not collect lint like silicon. I like pairing this strap with either a dive watch or a watch that has military heritage.

Very cheap watch bands but very high quality for the price. They take a long time to get to you but the wait is worth it. I like to get colors I wouldn't normally want to spend a lot of $ on to experiment if I like the combo.

Books so you can deep dive about the history and lore of some significant watches in the last 140 years or so. At the very least they will look good on your coffee table and let people know you take your time keeping seriously.
Did you know Breitling is one of the few large and old independent watch makers still out there?
