    Looking for custom made leather

    I'm looking for someone to make me a strap like the one I have. I realise it will have to be sewn on as the watch has fixed bars but other than that difference I'm just after a copy of the old one using the old buckle and retainers.

    I was going to try stevostraps but can't find an email for him. I've found a saddlers in London who said they could make me one but the £250 quote made my eyes water a little.

    Any other recommendations please? The watch is a small vintage and most of the straps I've seen so far look like you could tow a car with them so I need something more subtle.

    I can recommend Kerr Gibson from Strap Works. He'll happily discuss that strap over email with no obligation. Just received a strap from him this week and it's really lovely.

    +1 for Steveo straps. First class in every respect.

    This has definitely been a helpful thread. Thanks! I also have a fixed lug watch that needs a new strap soon.
