My strap just broke and I'm having trouble finding a replacement. Anybody know of someone who can do a custom watch strap? Preferably in the UK and won't break the bank.
Some of the issues include:
* a notch at the lung end of the straps
* sharp taper, and thin enough so that the Citizen deployment can fit on
* not be excessively thick at the lug end so it can fit on
These issues means that getting a off the shelf strap is not possible.
I'd have to send the deployment with the original strap to get the sizing correct, and probably the watch itself, hence I'd prefer a UK strap maker.
Thanks.
Lovely watch!
Perhaps a Di Modell Imperator (try UKWatchstrap website) + set of craft knives to cut the notch yourself?
It has significant rigidity and profile at the lugs to carry a big watch and the larger sizes taper markedly.
Did I mention that I like your watch?
Completely forgot to update everyone.
I finally went with Steveo Straps who custom made me a strap after I sent the watch to him. Pretty good job, although the strap could be a tad longer.
Thanks to everyone for your input.

Fascinating watch. Any more information about it you’d like to share?
