You should just buy some different leather, rubber/silicone or NATO straps for what ever watches you have. That's what I do. I love changing to a different strap and color combos. It really changes the look of a watch. Heck I even modified a silicone strap and a leather NATO strap to fit the narrow lugs of my Orient Planet Orient.
Before the strap mods with the bracelet.
I currently have the Orange strap on it as I love the look.
Im really diggin' the rose gold lately. Ive been looking for a watch to wear to my wedding.
also saw this one, but I think i like the Fossil one better.
Anyone have any ideas? Im looking in the $200 range.
FYI. That Invicta is a very large watch. Probably look odd during your wedding.
Gotcha. I've always like the design of the Venom models. But they are a tad too big for me.
I'd say go for the Venom then.
I personally love this brand and own two Deep Blue automatic watches.
Another rose gold option and Quartz for you that won't break the bank.

not as nice as most of the watches in this thread, but i just replaced my 10 year old citizen with a replacement. wanted to go black to match my wedding band. love this thing. it's about half as thick and half the weight as my old citizen, only gripe is it doesn't have glow in the dark hands, so it's useless at night without a light. lol

So, Fossil customer care told me to buy this:
then call back and order the sand leather band from this watch.
Then I can just swap watch bands. Cool. So, when I call to order the watch band, they said the watch is too new and there arent any parts available :rant:
The fuck. I hope I don't get stuck with a watch I dont want.

I am wearing my Orient Mako USA today. Orient watch offers the Mako and Ray models while Orient Watch USA came out with the Mako USA model.
Visually all three are nearly identical. Between the standard Mako and Ray model. The only difference is that the hour indices are different and the lume on the hands, pip and indices are brighter and last longer on on the Ray vs the standard Mako.
Now the Mako USA is a nice upgrade while compared to the standard Mako and Ray models. The USA has solid endlinks on the bracelet while the Ray and Mako have hallow endlinks. The USA has even brighter and much longer lasting lume on the hands, pip and hour indices. The bezel was upgraded to 120 clicks of rotation vs the Ray and Mako with 60 clicks. And the USA also has sapphire crystal while the Ray and Mako have mineral crystal.
All three look nearly identical. Only watch nerds (like myself) would only really know the differences. All three were available with different dial colors with the standard Mako having the most dial color choices and bezel colors over the years.
Another nice feature from Orient in general is that every watch model that they offer no matter the price range. The watch movement is also made by Orient. That's pretty damn unique.
Some pics of the various models over the years.

Orient Mako
Orient blue Ray and black Ray Raven (PVD version)
Orient black Ray
Orient Mako USA
Orient Mako USA solid endlinks compared to Orient Mako and Ray hallow endlinks.
A quick visual comparison of all three models.
These three models are awesome and will not break the bank. Probably the best budget diver watch available.
A few of my own pics of my white dial USA model.
Oh, IIRC. They are about 40mm and 13mm thick.

Damn, I almost forgot the Mako USA also has drilled through lugs. A nice feature usually only found on high end watches.
And the customary Lume pics. The lume on the Mako is much brighter and lasts much longer than watches costing hundreds to thousands of dollars more. I'll go to bed at 10pm, wake up at 4:30am and still be able to clearly read my watch when I wake up.
