Gorgeous, again, what band is that??

Sorry for the delay, it's a HIRSCH 22mm JUMPER.

For custom leather watch straps I definitely recommend Aaron at Combat Straps - HOME





ps. I treat my leather watch straps with Brooks Proofide.

This Sinn is sooo hot, love it! Nice strap too. Is that a 756?

Thanks DrZ. Yes it's a 756 with the ice-hardened case. Tough as a Tank.

Love the Sinn, LOVE the straps. Bookmarked.

any recommendations for an aftermarket silicone rubber strap for the Sinn above? it is going to get hot soon = sweat.

Will the silicone from the U1 fit? It's 22mm wide. I really, really love this strap.

[steampunk]

nope, need 20mm. the Sinn straps are available at watchbuys.com but I'm not feeling up to spending $120/strap right now.

[omnigrid]

what are you guys using for spring bar tools?

[AntLockyer]

Just a cheap one from Ebay.

[omnigrid]

...eh, just ended up having nice watch shop guy doing it for $5.

Very nice Chase. Bummer they only come in a 20mm width.

Recently got the bonetto italian rubber strap for a Seiko watch. The smooth rubber smells of vanilla even after 2 months of pretty heavy use (the big one was riding 500 miles in 5 days and never washing the watch band. Could never do that with a NATO). One added bonus is that the watch holes on the band are not poked out (but there are guides poked halfway through) so when you put on the watch band for the first time it looks clean. I also needed an 18mm so it was a particularly hard search finding nice Italian rubber - definitely feels heaftier than any silicone strap I've come across and cost me $30.

I have 4 straps for my Panerai: dark brown croc, black leather, light brown leather, and black rubber. I guess I rotate them equally .... sometimes I'm just in a black on black mood. If I want to try to dress it up just a little, I go for the croc. There are so many aftermarket strap makers that my head spins when I search for a new strap. I want a NATO style strap very soon.

I run the rubber strap exclusively on my PAM177, it's Ti, so it matches pretty well with the look of the watch. I never jived with the croc strap, I still have it in the box. I've been looking at some pretty sweet leather straps made from WW2 ammo bags, really great patina and colors. Just haven't gotten around to it yet...

So Hodoinkee got some more straps in, and sold most of them instantly, more or less. Anyone know of someone that makes a similar style strap? Pic below:

Just yesterday I ordered a NATO strap for my Luminox (on which I had an old resin strap salvaged from a dead HRM).

Got it from Crown and Buckle that has a very nice Web Site

You can't beat less than $15 shipped. (made in Australia) They also have leather options.

Leather watch straps (and belts) hand made in Portland, Oregon. Haven't tried one, but they look good.

I like the NATO I have from there, but I thought the "buffalo" strap I got was very meh.
