Dear All:
I'm interested in having a White Rally Strap made to go with a watch. However, DB10 no longer produces their straps sadly, and Stew Morley of Heurville no longer produces his white nubuck (called Bonneville Cream).
May I ask whom I may go to in order to get one as close to a DB10 strap as possible please? I'd prefer to not have to go the route of a super high end French strap maker as these are more sporty and less costly than the ones the French strap makers typically make.
It's amazing that it is as difficult as this to find a White Rally / Rallye strap!
Thank you very much in advance.
You might try Watch Band Center in Germany. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I found it looking for "20mm, grained leather". Then you scroll through to get to the white options. They have thousands of straps - if that's not exactly what you're wanting they may have it under a different category.
Assuming you are after the smaller holed corfam style strap? Shame James and Mel are no longer doing theirs as it would have been perfect.
Larger tropic style rally available cheaply on eBay. Perhaps not perfect but perhaps a viable short term option until you can track your preferred one down.

Might be worth keeping an eye out for a large hole Tropic...
They also have the Meyhofer Alton in 16, 18, 20 & 22 mm:Originally Posted by TakesALickin
Not sure how much you're wanting to spend, but you could send Pav Straps a message, he can make them to any specification you ask for and he does damn fine work.
Dear All:
Thank you for your comments thus far. I followed up with some of your advice/pointers and I have this to report back, hopefully, I'll receive some feedback again from you! Thank you again!
One out of the ordinary is this after market stainless Rally bracelet! Yes, it's rally but stainless and not a strap, but a bracelet. I don't think i've seen one of these since the 1970s on a Seiko back then! It could be hideous, or it could be really cool. I wonder who might be able to use Photoshop and combine this with an Alaska Project watch to see?!?

These others are leather, or silicon. None pop out at me as being gorgeous, though the leather ones are passable. None have red stitching, of course. I'd think that has to be customized.
The silicon ones are hard to figure out via pictures, as they may look cheap in person, or they may ok ok. How they would wear is another issue - would they look good with a little wear? Or would they look like cheap plastic throwaway straps on throwaway $15 watches?
The leather straps with faux alligator grain is usually a huge no-no for me - i dislike faux croco. On the other hand, with these Rally straps with so many holes in them, I find the faux alligator grain to be OK! What do you good folks thing, may I please ask?
Thank you so much in advance!
My favorite is still the no longer produced DB10 white rally with red stitching!
