Watch Obssesion, and Hirsch straps
UK where do you purchase good leather straps without breaking bank?
Watch Obssesion, and Hirsch straps
Ukwatchstrap.co.uk are usually my first port of call.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
All of the above plus Cousins. Watchbandcenter (Germany) has more straps than you can shake a watch at and quick shipping (3-4 days usually).
Colareb, Italy but for 8 euros they do overnight UPS delivery for any number of straps.
Weston watch straps are always worth a look, very prompt delivery.

I like watchgecko- nice quality straps at reasonable prices. Great service too.
Hirsch and REWA make very nice straps for the money, in my experience.
I also buy from Watchgecko sometimes. Received a 19mm strap yesterday. Not much leather in it, but great value at £6. Not bad for 19mm width.
Zlimsn -Chinese eBay seller but all straps I’ve bought have been excellent quality for the price. Also cousins have some decent stuff cheap and there are a couple of members here who make good stuff. I have large wrists so have to make sure they are long enough, most straps are just a little too short for me, i need at least 210mm excluding watch head for most watches.
Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.
Hirsch are great value imo, I've recently put a brown heritage on my speedmaster professional and I think it looks the mutts nuts.

Last few are al colareb. So comfortable and they look great.
I have mostly been using Kaufmann for the last year

Lately ColaReb, as they do these great short length leather straps that fit my wrist perfectly. Usually Timefactors and TheStrapShop are my first ports of call. Recently impressed by WatchGecko’s service. For custom straps, I would recommend Toshi.

Same as nunya, but I also like Pav Straps for great quality and service for the money.

Even more outlets to view. Thanks again.
Our own Pavel makes excellent straps at very reasonable prices.
I use them too. I get them for around £70, so they are expensive but I think the quality is very good and is similar to straps at 3 or 4 times the price

I have a leather NATO I bought for my Voyager from http://www.yellowdogwatchstraps.com/
Sadly, the head is too heavy for the soft leather, so it never gets used, but it's a lovely strap.

Or else you might try www.lederband24.com.
I think most have mine have come through watch obsession. Quick delivery and they sent me out a free NATO when one was sent in the wrong size, so good customer service.
Another vote for TSS. I've had a few over the years and all great quality and well priced, but the best has been the "Titan CS". It went on my Everest the day I received the watch, and apart from brief Nato episodes, it's been there ever since. It's just the right thickness and weight for the watch, is lovely and supple and seemingly indestructible.
F.T.F.A.
I’ve used Watch Gecko and the strap is of good quality.

Ukwatchstrap, bought a vintage horween style leather for my Speedy at £20.00
It’s made in Germany by Fluco, the quality is great and way above the cost...

I bought two straps from Watch Obsession today. used them because I found their website easier to navigate to exactly what I wanted. Haven't received yet but will show and tell when I receive them. I got a blue leather strap for my Snowflake and a grey opened Zulu for my MM300
On this subject. Anyone have a recommendation for vintage style straps?
I like the Hirsch Ranger but it's a touch too bulky for to be "perfect" and only comes in a single size which is a tad too large for me.
Are the Bulang ones worth the insane cost? I got a nice Steveo one but the leather was a touch too shiny for me, I prefer a matt finish/softer leather.
Bulang use jpm straps and charge bulang prices if rumour is correct.
Go to Hamilton and inches and check out the kauffmans. Miiiles better and not silly money.
It's got better. I avoided it due to snoot for years but like going in for a nose and chat now.
