cheers. Anyone have advice on getting leather/plastic bands? I want navy blue and don't know where to look... Thanks.
No need to despair! There are just a few zillion retailers of watch straps out there that sell navy blue leather straps. It will help folks around here if you give specifics, e.g. what type of watch are you trying to fit with a navy blue strap? a diver? a dress watch? OEM?

Straps can get expensive. Way expensive.. How about spending $300 on a strap that may last only a couple of years.. Hence I stick to Bracelets.. But, if you are interested in straps, I'd suggest that you get a definite budget in mind. Plus you need to know the Lug Size, and a general idea as to the size of your wrist. With that info, and a few ideas on colour, texture, and budget, spend an hour, day, week, month, resourcing the myriads of strap maker/ sellers on the web. Perhaps even the sales forums on this great forum would be the best place to start. At least you are pretty sure they are going to be quality!
