UK where do you purchase good leather straps without breaking bank?

Watch Obssesion, and Hirsch straps

Watch Obssesion, and Hirsch straps

Same as nunya, but I also like Pav Straps for great quality and service for the money.

All of the above plus Cousins. Watchbandcenter (Germany) has more straps than you can shake a watch at and quick shipping (3-4 days usually).

[200mwaterresistant]

Colareb, Italy but for 8 euros they do overnight UPS delivery for any number of straps.

Weston watch straps are always worth a look, very prompt delivery.

Some nice looking straps in here, but it would be better if they stated the strap lengths.

I have to say I buy quite a few from the sales corner.

Here . They sell some really nice straps - a huge variety in all makes . I had trouble ages ago sourcing a leather slim nato for the prs53 fat arrow and the one ordered at watchbandcentre was supple and soft leather, very nice quality .

I like watchgecko- nice quality straps at reasonable prices. Great service too.

[johant]

Hirsch and REWA make very nice straps for the money, in my experience.

[warhog]

Depending on quality of the watch, but WatchGecko have done fine for mid-range

[Toshk]

I also buy from Watchgecko sometimes. Received a 19mm strap yesterday. Not much leather in it, but great value at £6. Not bad for 19mm width.

Zlimsn -Chinese eBay seller but all straps I’ve bought have been excellent quality for the price. Also cousins have some decent stuff cheap and there are a couple of members here who make good stuff. I have large wrists so have to make sure they are long enough, most straps are just a little too short for me, i need at least 210mm excluding watch head for most watches.

+2 usually quick delivery. They have some great value straps when they have a sale on.

^ In my experience, these guys are significantly better than Watch Obsession

By way of update, I bought another strap from Nick at Ukwatchstrap.co.uk last week, a shell cordovan, and it's an absolute belter. Next day delivery too, highly recommended.

I find myself inevitably returning to Nick and ukwatchstrap.co.uk.

They have a great selection of straps, and specifically a good range of Di Modell straps. They consistently do well on pricing and I can't remember the last time I didn't receive the strap next day when ordered during "regular" hours.

For vintage Hirsch, there is a great seller in Portugal on eBay that I will try to dig out.

Those Di Modell straps really punch above their weight, given the pricing.

Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.

[Jardine32]

Hirsch are great value imo, I've recently put a brown heritage on my speedmaster professional and I think it looks the mutts nuts.

Last few are al colareb. So comfortable and they look great.

I use them too. I get them for around £70, so they are expensive but I think the quality is very good and is similar to straps at 3 or 4 times the price

Do they sell on line or only through third parties? I can’t see anything on their website

Another vote for TSS. I've had a few over the years and all great quality and well priced, but the best has been the "Titan CS". It went on my Everest the day I received the watch, and apart from brief Nato episodes, it's been there ever since. It's just the right thickness and weight for the watch, is lovely and supple and seemingly indestructible.

Agreed, I have a Titan CS on my Seiko Turtle at the moment. One of several I have had over the years, it compares well with the Hirsch Liberty and Di Modell Jumbo.

Even more outlets to view. Thanks again.

Our own Pavel makes excellent straps at very reasonable prices.

I have a leather NATO I bought for my Voyager from http://www.yellowdogwatchstraps.com/

Sadly, the head is too heavy for the soft leather, so it never gets used, but it's a lovely strap.

[Mad14]

I’ve used Watch Gecko and the strap is of good quality.

Ukwatchstrap, bought a vintage horween style leather for my Speedy at £20.00
It’s made in Germany by Fluco, the quality is great and way above the cost...
