    My Breitling A32370 with an integrated bracelet needs a leather strap, help!



    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!

    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.

    Is there anywhere I could get an 'adapter' so that i could fit a conventional strap?

    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.

    Thanks, I've messaged him through his website. Fingers crossed.

    Just to update everyone on this, Steveo straps came through for me, take a look - the quality is really up there.

    That looks great, well done.

    This whole thread perfectly illustrates why I dislike integrated straps so much...
