Howdy fellow enthusiasts.. Can you guys direct me or show me some of the good 18 mm leather bands for a Connie (YG or RG). Looking for bands which can truly complement and keep up with beautiful connies. Connies deserves the best! I would greatly appreciate your time and help in this matter. Thanks in advance.
Brown, well sourced, unpadded, tapered lizard are my personal favourites, with 18/14mm being my optimum choice and preferably with a blunt end. Hirsch and RIOS make very nice and affordable ones at about 40-60Euros and I also look for vintage straps in the usual places. The ultimate would of course be one of those fantastic 1950´s Omega elephant straps that were originally fitted to some models, they do pop up once in a blue moon.
This has printing on back "Handcrafted in Italy" and "Genuine Lizard" but we'll have to ask Dennis (@ulackfocus) as it came with watch from him. Was going to get new strap for it but once I strapped it to my wrist .
Not the best foto but here is mine with a brown lizzard band from ZRC. Looks similar like the one posted before my post.
These are my personal preference - croco, mate --- never any type or style of shiny leather for me! Well, there are some shiny things that I'd enjoy... http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...shiny-bounteous-butt-breaks-the-internet.html#
Such a nice strap. The colour goes really well with gold. Would love to know where this came from! Think it would look great on centenary
