I absolutely will. Actually I could start a thread since I have various straps. A few Italian strap makers, classic strap stores, etc.
Thanks anyway for the link 😀

I just ordered one from jean Rousseau. Basically the snoopy strap for 260 shipped. Customized to my wrist for deployment.
Confirmed yesterday, waiting a few (5) weeks to receive!
Great quality, pricey but in line with most custom strap makers.

I have one Two Stich Strap and was very impressed with the quality for such little money. Am getting ready to order a couple more.

Here is my Speedy Tuesday on the tan Two Stich Strap

Got this uncle seiko tropic strap to complement this Silvana skin diver.
Good quality and quite nice to wear (I was afraid of that but for no reason finally)

and yes the date has not been correctly set up for today 😀

Another strap has arrived : unfortunately it does not fully fit my UG I got it for at the beginning but the result is still ok with this Lemania.
It's a dark brown deerskin very soft and very very comfortable👍 (I think it is the most supple leather strap I have so far). It is from an Italian strap maker GLC straps which I found thanks to Fratello watches strap review (BTW : a very good place to get inspiration too)

Another couple of straps arrived today. Got this reference initially here so thanks OF.
I can only recommend Vintage_style_straps (IG). I've got 3 from Matteo. Pure quality, very nice guy too.
Very responsive, always ready to recommend if you are open to it, and actually very fast service. And when it arrives I'm always happy.
Here are 2 boars leather : black and pumpkin.

I still have to change the buckles (I have a golden one for the connie and a seiko one for the GS) but I was too eager to share with you those 😀

If anyone can advise, looking for a rubber / alligator strap for my PO 43.5, (21mm) there is one they did for the GMT and this would be the exact one I'm looking for... or something very similar. I've looked ebay and yes they have similar but they look worryingly cheap.

First of all, great thread for us strap-a-holics!! I've already got too many but continue to look at other new options, including one for my 21mm Racing Speedmaster.
@Leejon , I've come across a nice alligator strap from Milano Straps and just about to order one along with a 20mm Saffiano leather for my Moonwatch. (https://www.milanostraps.com/collections/alligator)
Another cool site is HD Straps where they offer custom alligator, stingray, shark, lizard, beaver and even chicken leg!! Only downside is that they ship from Vietnam but I'm most likely going to put in an order for 2-3 at some point this year. (https://hdstraps.com/)

I'm actually kicking myself that I didn't know about all the leather goods offered out there before I visited Vietnam! If I go back, I'll probably come back with a bunch of straps, watch rolls, wallets, etc! I mean, isn't that where Louis Vuitton gets all their alligator/crocodile stuff from??
