Perfect Summer Watch

I am very positive, that all the watch lovers at one point or another, thought about this.  A watch that is perfect for summer weather.  In many occasions, metal looks bit too clunky and leather will soak up sweat and become stinky.  And NO, I did not forget about the Swatch.  They are just too 'plastic' & 'rubber' for me.  Well, if you still cannot come up with something, how about a vintage watch made in a year that is meaningful to you (perhaps your birth year?) with a vivid nylon strap that can match your colourful summer casuals?  

If you visit Burlington Arcade in London, there are many vintage watch sellers who categorised and displayed the watches by different years.  The price seems bit high but I am sure you can negotiate.  There are also few numbers of vintage watch sellers in large antique market called Grays, on Davies Street, nearby the Bond Street Tube Station.

Georg Jensen's Koppel 317 and 318 with nylon NATO straps look quite promising as well.
