Hello everybody, I recently acquired a 22258 Tri-Compax which came on a horrible generic leather strap : Turns out that my usual (newbie) suspects (Hodinkee, B&S,...) don't carry this size of straps. Does anybody know some manufacturers of good quality straps for 16mm lug width? I think I would like a brown suede one on this but every high quality alternative is welcome. Thank you for the help, Kevin
Not my aim to be spamming, I just think that the offer on ebay is a bit overwhelming and looking for personnal experience or preference.
I suspect the obstacle that I believe you already discovered is finding "high quality" at the 16mm as most of high-end straps makers don't offer many options on this size. I have purchased from these follks in the past https://strappedfortime.com/ and http://store.fredawatchstraps.com/ and they carry a nice selection of leather straps in the size you are looking for... Good luck hunting and come back and show us your Tri-Compax on some decent leather! BTW, cool looking watch you have there!
