I am pretty sure that Italian strap maker GLC straps are making them

 

That looks like the one but for some reason, I'm thinking they had different colors and they were like half the cost. Thanks for the link!

I've just bought a couple of bits from here, good quick service

They've come up before in other threads, but I have several Kelaran straps from ebay seller Soulsis. They don't cost much, look good, hold up and are made well. They don't ship outside U.S. seems to be the biggest gripe I've read about them. I always seem to have 4 or 5 of their straps hanging out in an ebay cart. Don't ever pay their full price... if the strap is not 10-25% off, just wait a few days and it will be shortly.

@Syrte Great list! I have been contemplating several straps from Mansarea but didn't know of anyone that had purchased from them for some feedback. Looks great on the Seiko!

 

Thanks Illiknight.... I'm actually contemplating buying more from Mansarea...

I should add I'm also a great fan of Atelier Jean Rousseau:
http://www.jean-rousseau.com/
They make classic bespoke straps at reasonable cost.
They're very nice too, agreed to craft an alligator strap with rivets I provided them for an Omega military watch with fixed lugs:


All the best,

Best to purchase JPM straps directly from him. You can simply show him a Bulang strap you want and he'll make it for you at a discount to what they would charge, which are his regular prices.

 

How do you contact JPM?

You get a very good quality for a reasonable price (35€) at:

I had a very good, hassle-free experience with Combat Straps, Aaron delivered a custom-made ostrich strap to perfectly fit the deployant clasp on my Transocean.

 

Editing and updating this as several threads have been combined into one. Straps are my favorite subject!!

they also have gained calf:

- for higher end projects, best value I found is Atelier Jean Rousseau, cheaper and better service IMO than Camille Fournet;
- last but not least, now I found an italian artisan on the Italian forum who does great straps at a great price.
And well, of course if you want to be a real snob the best quality of all is Hermes— but you could almost get a little vintage watch for the price of the strap.

 

I just ordered 2 bands because of this recommendation. Many many thanks for a great suggestion.
And on sale they look like a real bargain!
