Reply With QuoteI found them to be very overpriced.
There is also a uk based company that sell what appears to be identical for a lot less.
Anyone else tried these Aussie made sailcloth straps?
I find them well made, good value and rather spiffing.
Also, any excuse to show off the BFF Ti

Bugger, just my luck. I buy something, anything then five minutes later an alternative pops up cheaper. Woe is me!Originally Posted by boring_sandwich
I think you're referring to Northstar Straps. I found them this morning. They look the same, but are half price more or less, unfortunately they don't have the strap combo I need.
Even both websites are very similar in design too!

I have 2 of them, price is subject to the person. Wear them daily as such
I really like them, very comfortable and feel robust
Only have the sailcloth straps not any of their newer or hybrids ones
Yes Northstar Straps, even the deployments look identical so would imagine they are all made in the same factory!
I’ve owned one with the deployant clasp,not bad in Mho.
I agree with you regarding the price and quality. It's far more comfortable (for me) than the OEM rubber the watch came with.
I think that £60 - £90 for a well made strap to come halfway across the world (AU - UK) is very reasonable indeed.
And compared to the cost of the watch itself, it's 0.5%, so near enough at no cost at all.
Did you have the sprung deployant clasp that has no buttons to push just snaps together?
I found them a great design.
Yes ,that’s the one.
Those Aussie sailcloth straps looks nice.
I have a couple from Watch & Cloth Straps and have been happy with them.
