    Who makes the best perlon straps

    I have a few budget perlon straps which I enjoy wearing but wondered if there are some that are a bit of a step up. Do you fine people have any suggestions on where to pick up great quality perlon straps?

    There is only one

    Eulit

    Real perlon. Softens and moulds to your wrist shape with age. Drys in minutes after washing. Lasts for years.

    I've tried cheap "perlon" straps bought from eBay and Eulit. There was no similarity. The cheap straps were stiff, poorly finished and unravelled.There is probably something in the middle I haven't tried.

    Eulit do have a reputation for being THE Perlon

    Unfortunately I found mine (the Palma model) fairly uncomfortable and I gave up on it quite quickly

    I did get mine from Yellys.ch. Don’t be put off by the disastrous looking website

    I used to buy them from Holberns watch straps in the States - however this was expensive especially when caught for import taxes. A single strap might get through but multiples would always result in an additional charge

    More recently I have been using this eBay seller in Germany




    An excellent dealer - very efficient and fast service. Delivery is usually quicker than items ordered in the UK! And no taxes.

    Buy now before transitional EU arrangements come to an end!

    There's a European based dealer with a website that you can order directly from called 'Yellow' or something like that however its the worst website Ive ever encountered as regards functionality and having tried a few times to use it without success I gave up.

    Thanks, yes I attempted that Yelly website this morning and gave up in frustration!

    Vintage Eulit Panama is the best but hard to come by. There's a modern Eulit Palma and vintage Panama photo comparison thread here:
