I got a nice leather nato from Steveostraps. A great strap that didn't break the bank:

I'm a big fan of Steveo's stuff. Eagerly awaiting two more from him as I write.
It's a winner winner, good to be different.
love that thor one. my kids would love a captain america one. you have given me thoughts. also the valentino rossi one on his site.excellent.
Recently received a strap from Steveo and can highly recommend also. I wanted a certain leather in a vintage style. It wasn't shown on his website but there was no problem in getting it made. Quick turnaround also. It won't be my last from him.
Anyone any ideas where I can get a good canvas NATO/Military style strap for a CWC G10 with fixed lugs 18mm. I don't mind even if it's a Velcro type fastening in fact I wouldn't mind trying a Velcro. Like the khaki green type colour but it's not a major factor. Any ideas much appreciated
im afraid i have to concur with the posts above. my usual routine is 1. order/buy watch, 2. think about new straps, 3. email steveo or carl at GGB. pretty much every watch i own has a steveo/ggb option in the box or on the watch.
2 of the best strap makers in the business and pricing is shocking good value for the quality you receive. GB should be proud
the canvas para strap in green is a favourite of mine.
By the way, I came across this site and the straps look very well made http://dangerous9straps.blogspot.co.uk
just browsing the site there are some nice straps on there.
I like the monza one found here... and the shadow one at the bottom

First class service and quality. Steveo's straps are amongst the best out there.
Quite a few straps at sale prices here https://www.watchgecko.com/special-offers.html?p=2
There's even a perlon version of you have a WTB for one...
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!
Argh integrated straps! I think someone used to do a 'converter' attachment for solving this issue with these sort of straps, similar to those that enabled Casio G-shocks to be fitted with std. NATO straps... The Casio ones had something like a 16mm block one end but with std. 20mm gap 'lugs' at the other end... Haven't seen them recently though!

Try Carl ( member name here gasgasbones ) , he's very skilled and may be able to help with both adapter and strap. https://www.gasgasbones.com/

Just put an order in for a black leather shadow with electric blue stitching to match this

I'm UK-based and I'm looking for a leather pilot strap (20mm) - the sort with rivets close to the lugs. Ideally, I'd like to chose the leather stock myself but I'm looking for one in whiskey-brown and one in chestnut. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Many thanks

There is only one colour on there but I'm sure Steveo would make the same pattern in any colour leather he had available.

i'm interested in the rather large Junghans Meister Pilot (43.3mm diameter of case!). yet, my wrist size is merely 6" to 6 1/4".
this will likely be the largest watch of mine.
may i ask where i may buy a 22mm SHORT leather strap please? i'm trying to find a strap that has kind of an aged leather look, but i'd need a SHORT length strap.
custom straps are also fine. my preference for this particular watch's straps would be:
- some type of texture, whether leather texture or varied colors providing a visual texture
- works well with the vintage lume color of the hour markers and hands
- works well with the black dial and the stainless case
thank you in advance.
Dear All:
I have a new Junghans Meister Pilot - Vintage Lume Variant, Black dial with vanilla/yellowish lume for hour markers and hands.
My wrist is very small at 6" to 6 1/4", so I'll need a new strap, most likely custom.
I also don't like the black and brown combination colored strap that this vintage lume model comes with (it's also too long a strap for me).
As I like texture on these types of "pilot styled" straps, I thought that possibly Buffalo or Shark might be options to consider.
What I cannot decide is whether this watch would look better with a black strap, a grey strap, or a brown strap?
Clearly, a brown strap would bring out the vintage vanilla/yellowish lume (fauxtina ;).
Yet, grey or black might make the watch stand out more crisply, especially with white thread stitching or ecru/off white stitching.
May I ask the good folks here for your experienced eye and thoughts, please? Thank you in advance.
The issue is whether a black or grey strap might tilt the overall hue of the entire watch+strap to overly cool, so that the idea of "vintage lume" (albeit fauxtina) is lost?
I personally don't wear a lot of browns and khakis and beiges, so that's one strike against the brown. Yet, since I have very few brown strapped watches, this might be one good opportunity to get a brown strap to go with the vintage colored lume.
I'm attaching picture of the watch itself, plus black, grey, brown in both shark and buffalo.
Order of pictures:
- pictures of the Junghans Meister Pilot with vintage lume.
- Black Shark
- Grey Shark
- Brown Shark
- Black Buffalo
- Grey Buffalo
- Brown Buffalo
- Glossy Beaver Tail (only glossy available in Beaver Tail, unfortunately)
Thank you. Pardon me in advance for such a lengthy post.

As a matter of interest how do you contact her? I've sent emails to two different addresses and left a message on her voicemail without success; I have an interesting strap restoration project I'd like her to take a look at. I appreciate her website places an emphasis on visiting her atelier but it's not something I can manage prior to Christmas.

he's open for a short while
I’ve been looking at his mk3 watch today,that’s some job he’s done on it and the presentation.
In the end I ordered a aquatimer strap to try and a spitfire wallet.
I bought it just for the stunning engraving, I don’t really need another wallet (as if that matters).
Thanks for the heads up, he is only open for three days until tomorrow. I have ordered a strap, a NATO and a tool.
Hey guys,
I've been a long time TZ-UK lurker, never posted before but a New Year = new start, so thought I'd finally show my face and join the community properly.
Not sure if this is the right section to post or not but here goes... I've been making straps for some time now (images below), it would be great to get some feedback and honest/constructive criticism.
More images are available on my Instagram account goo.gl/zdrx7p
Thanks
Scott

Dear All:
May I please ask if you feel a guy can carry this Baby Blue/Robin's Egg Blue leather strap on a steel Daytona (white dialed version, pre-ceramic bezel)?
It's refreshing, and if it's a watch that doesn't get much wrist time, maybe this will bring it out more?
Or, is it a bit much for a guy?
Thank you in advance.
