Anyone have any opinions on fluco straps. Or any good etsy leather straps / watch roll sellers?

Some info on watch rolls and cases in this older thread , including a link to an Etsy watch roll maker I've used who's good.

I'm very happy with the strap maker I linked in the above post.
Just received this watch roll yesterday, also from Etsy.

Beautiful soft leather, wonderful craftsmanship and even my largest watches fit perfectly.

Jean Paul is the best. And a really nice and kind guy. He produces my straps and leather goods too.

He is a really nice guy I totally agree!!!

If I just need something cheap, I buy from Holben's on Ebay, out of the Seattle area. They have fast shipping, good selection, and great service.

I've had Aaron make a custom 23mm strap for my Cartier Tank XL.

Question for both you and @Larry S - what did you specify for Aaron regarding clasps etc? I've read a semester-at-MIT's worth of strap/deployant threads here on OF and am still torn. All I know is Omega's deployant, while lovely, is $450 - a stretch for me (I may go RHD or Aaron's own version, if the quality is there). Thoughts?

I went with the IWC style on two i bought. The others I already owned buckles. His hardware quality is excellent. Regarding deployant .. If you use a thick material they are not going to work. Better off with a buckle.

Just bought a few from http://finwatchstraps.com

Reasonably priced. Large selection of stitching options and leather texture and styles.

I finally found a great strap maker. He has been recommended by others and now I know why. Patrik at Clover Straps does great work and I recommend him. Mine was custom cut to fit my 9" wrist. Very heavy duty and great for a large watch.

I just discovered these guys so no recommendation yet.

The product looks excellent, has any body tried them ?

I ordered two, because they are one of the VERY few vendors who offer XL straps in odd lug widths (19mm and 21mm). I'll post some pictures when they arrive 😀

Two Stitch Straps are really good and not at a crazy price point.

Anyone have a recommendation for a high quality SCUBA diving strap for my Seamaster 300 (for actual diving)? 21mm not so common..

ISOfrane look really nice, but I would have to trim the 22mm strap down to fit, which I'd rather not have to do to a $150.00 strap

Even though I'll be posting this on WRUW as well, I wanted to follow up with my custom strap order from Aaron Bespoke aka Combat Straps. Great strap, excellent deployant hardware, just as @Larry S described. The strap came in a nice velvet pouch - a classy touch. Now...just waiting for it to break in a bit!
