A strap for a watch with integrated endlinks?
A girl in work handed me this today and said ‘I need a new strap for this, it’s my dads’
This is the watch in question
The bracelet itself is about 18-20mm but the connecting link is 10mm, my first thoughts were watch-band-center but I can’t find anything on their site in the above style
Any ideas?

Notching pliers would work on any strap to cut the central section down to 10mm

Yes, made from scratch would be much better. Some straps have quite a big gap after the stitching though or no stitching at all. Its a bodge just lopping bits off but might solve the problem if the right strap is selected. Even given a suitable strap it would be really hard to do it such that it doesnt look awful anyway - if the budget isnt much maybe worth a try though
Steveostraps. Lovely quality, nice range of leathers, nice guy to deal with, very fair prices for handmade items and he will make something to fit exactly. I’m afraid that a butchered off-the-shelf strap will look like crap.
Butchered off the shelf will always look like butchered off the shelf for sure.
We could also make somthing that would work

Something like this is what you want - you wont get the same look chopping bits off really. The 10mm central section gives more strength than doing it the other way around

^^ those are very nice indeed. By any chance do you make custom-made rubber straps too?
All very good responses gents..
