I looked through most of the thread, and I haven't seen Holben's Fine Watch Bands
mentioned. They carry ColaReb, Fluco, Hadley-Roma etc.

 

They also have high quality and reasonably priced vintage Perlon straps.

 

I really like Watch Gecko here in the UK, excellent service and good quality products

I just purchased a Veblenist custom matt grey alligator strap for my wife's very small wrist and we are both delighted with the result. We wanted this color to appoximate the original grey strap supplied with a Hamilton Rutledge and Howard at Veblenist was the only source we found. Highly recommended.

 

Thanks for sharing the link ..

 

I usually buy my leather straps at

https://www.bandrbands.com

I love the suede straps

 

Any recommendation for the UK?

 

Watch Gecko are a UK Company - link above

Alternatively, Watchband Center in Germany are very good. http://www.watch-band-center.com/

 

Cheers

It's about 33 sgd (25usd?) for a piece and their straps are pretty bang for the buck for daily wear.

Olive and Blue straps are Hannson as shown

I just ordered one from Colareb in Italy. Will let you know how it turns out.

I guess it's normal to expect the stitching to fall off, for this price

 

Seconded. I have one on my 105.012-65 and my Heuer Autavia. Great straps that "age" well.

 

UK? Check out watchobsession.com and their JPM.

 

I have purchased five straps and a watch from Holbens (a 1920 Gruen for my wife). Excellent service and fast shipping.

 

I recently purchased two sailcloth straps from a small company in Singapore. Both straps are for my Hamilton Khaki Automatic. Straps arrived within a week by standard mail. Quality is excellent and four spring bars were included in the package. iwantastrap.com https://www.iwantastrap.com/
