Any idea where i could get a leather strap made for this? I've called a few places but am struggling to find somewhere that will do it. The small distance between the lugs means no conventional replacement strap will fit it.
It's a Breitling Colt GMT +, model ref A32370.
Any advice would be appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out here!
Try Camile Fournet, they offer a bespoke service.

I would suggest Forshaw, a little handmade company in Wales run by Ryan Forshaw. He makes superb straps. I have just bought two and am very pleased. He does stuff to order.very high quality.
First heard about him on TZ.
Thanks, I've called and left a message.Quote:

Buy a leather strap. Use a scalpel blade and some super glue and you're done.
Not a great photo of the strap but you can see the problem

The "short" pieces you fold over and glue - don't cut off as it doesn't look as finished.
You could look at Steveo Straps he has made several for me and I am very pleased with them.

This. Steveo is a nice guy to deal with, prices are very fair and he will make custom/special order straps. Far better than taking a scalpel to an off-the-shelf strap.Quote:

That looks great, well done.
This whole thread perfectly illustrates why I dislike integrated straps so much...
