Can you give us some idea of what you're after? There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different types, from NATO to exotic materials.

Or tell us what it's going on.

Cheers!

Sure, at the momment I'm looking for a couple of straps for a datejust, one black, one brown, both croc, not too shiny, not too matt :) but any recommendations will be useful for other watches.

OK, for off the peg try Cousins Bellini Range: "The Bellini Collection".

Or WatchObsession.

If you'd like hand made, then have a look at:

• Faber Curtis
• Jean Rousseau &
• Camille Fournet

There will be others...!

[Le samourai]

Thanks all, been having a look at some of these, some excellent suggestions. Cheers!

Forum member Jankoxxx makes also some great straps.

Best! Glenn

Another vote of confidence for Pav. His straps are superb value and he's a good bloke to boot.

Check the TZ strap section, than search this forum before asking.

Micah at www.vintagerstraps.com does some nice stuff too...

Hopefully a bit more helpful than Mr Dingo managed...

Just received a couple nice straps from steveo, will pop some pics up Monday.

Very pleased with them!

[tixntox]

Before you order, check the space around the lug. I have an old Breitling Toptime which needs a very slim fitting strap due to the small gap between the lug and the case.

Good advice that - if you go to one of the 'handmade' guys they will thin the strap at the lugs for you otherwise as Mike said, you can get a great strap that won't fit...

cbstraps.com
undoubtedly; quality and perfect finish.

Have a look at Stowa's croc straps, excellent quality and pretty good value in my opinion.

Lovely soft strap on this one

Great straps but mainly for larger watches...

I have 2 Stowa croco straps, the grey and the blue, and they are very nice indeed.

[snowman]

Anyone mentioned UKWatchstrap?

I've had universally good service from there and they're happy to provide information and (very honest) advice on different straps (I was looking for a strap and they advised against one in favour of another for the same price).

Next day delivery in my experience too.

I've also used Watchobsession for Hirsch straps and been very satisfied.

This thread got me to visit Toshi, but I hadn't realised 'custom made' cost so much (and he's FAR from the high end price wise)!

Drop Micah a line at www.vintagerstraps.com - he had some blue gator a short while ago. It's not on his site yet but he may be able to sort you out. He's a top guy to deal with as well, you'll have no issues...

Cheers but they all look big and on tang. I was hoping for one I could use with the JLT Deployment.

Micah is a custom maker and can thin them down for you usually, but I know for most of the custom guys deployments can be tricky...

[Tomw2000]

Also very happy to recommend Toshi.

Plus, I always thought I'd like to try one of these:

One I'm happy to recommend > http://www.steveostraps.com/

Good site, thanks for that, just ordered one

[Daveya.]

The Steveostrap has arrived and is superb, real attention to detail even in the packaging, clearly a guy who takes a lot of pride in the whole package

For 33 quid it feels really high end, worth a heck of a lot more, thanks for the recommendation

[Jorrocks]

I can recommend Weston watch straps, I have a couple of nice Hadley Roma from them at a reasonable price.

I've just bought a Para strap off Steveostraps and the quality is superb. It was a real pleasure to deal with him and the delivered package was beautifully presented. I'm certainly going to deal with him again.

[xanx]

Any +1 on toshi or peter gunny! Ted su is also another good one!

Which strap is that?

Will age beautifully

I second the recommendation for using Stew at Heuerville. I just yesterday received the first strap in the new Milk Chocolate coloured leather for my Speedy Pro (it's actually the exact one he used for the photos of his website) and the quality of Stews work is fantastic and the strap is really comfortable to wear.

The new leather in the Milk Chocolate colour he has started to use is really great, a beautiful colour that he describes as having an almost suede-like feel to it. The description doesn't do it justice, once you get it in hand it is so much nicer than in the pics & description.

Here it is: http://heuerville.wordpress.com/heue...milkchocolate/

Not to mention his customer service is fantastic, goods comms back and forth by email and he went that extra mile to help me out and get the strap to me after I had left ordering the strap a bit late for a special occasion. He really makes you feel that he values his customers.
