Something like this but maybe a contrasting stitch, white or even red
Thanks for humouring me. As an old, and retired, Euro car mechanic, and fan of 50s and 60s racing, rally straps are a favourite of mine. I have a both a brown and black rally strap already making their way here. Just wish I was also fitting them to a Mk1; beautiful watch you have there.
Hi JB. I'm a big fan of euro cars myself and have owned a few to many AMGs a Stag and a couple of older BMWs ( currently driving a 2022 GLC63s)
The watch in the photo isn't mine. It's one I found while searching photos to see what straps people like on their sherpas. My Graph has silver subs and I went for a dark brown nubuck strap with off white stitching. Personally I'd like the correct beads of rice but they are hens teeth to find or stupidly expensive.
I think most colour combos look good on this model tbo
I do like BoR bracelets but the clasps are old and do not hold well. Most of mine auto-release at some point during the day when I wear them. The newer bracelets have much more secure clasps but don't quite look the part. Hmm, hard to beat a Nato for security but I don't think I have ever seen a Sherpa Graph with one, curious.
If you want a BoR that looks like NoS but has a modern, safe and well-designed clasp an Uncle - formerly Uncle Seiko will do the job nicely:
But I do switch off from time to time:
Modern BoR for the Id:
The bracelet above is an NTH, but the Uncle is very similar.

Beads of Rice Straight End Bracelet (18/20/22mm)
Uncle's notes At long last, the popular Beads of Rice bracelet is available as a straight end in 3 sizes - 18, 20, and 22mm. Dress up a vintage watch or throw it on a diver - it looks great either way! This one is compatible with many different watches since it is a straight end. If you are...

Re the nato, thats worth a try. I've had one on my submariner now and then and it's great for different look.
I have the Mk Ia Ohrelius watch on the brown leather Hirsch Capitano strap with deployant clasp from RHD
[Deployants from Robert Hollister Davis were excellent quality, but the guy became ill and closed up shop]
Originally I bought the Capitano strap for my Seiko SARB017 Alpinist, but I like the look on the Mark Ia over the BoR which was moved to this JC Mark Ib watch:
Cheers,
Joe

That's a fantastic looking strap. Really these sherpa graphs look great just about any way you wear them depending on whether it's a formal or casual look you're going for. They're right up there with Rolex imo
