Best leather straps for Speedies

My quick forum search didn't result in finding previous threads on strap discussions so can you nice OF folk point me in the direction of threads on leather straps? Obviously there thousands out there, but I've been seeing some really nice options from abroad (Vietnam) for alligator, stingray, lizard, even chicken!! (see below examples)

I'm very happy with the recently purchased JB Champion & Uncle Seiko metal bands (also looking into a vintage 1506), but I'd like to have some leather options that enhance vintage black dial Speedies (105.012 & 145.022) as well as my new white dial 21mm Racing Speedie (other than the Omega alligator or cordura from Jean-Rousseau)?

Thanks.

I’ve always been a fan of NATO leather straps... don’t have to deal with springbars and they look and feel great. B&R Bands is a good site

Lol! Thanks @alam as I'm sure it's a subject that's come up again and again so thanks for sharing that link! It sounds like you're not a fan of Nato straps & whilst I do have a few for some other watches in my box, when a watch has say an exhibition caseback the Natos just block all of the beautiful mechanical movements inside.

I really like the JPM x Bulang & Sons leather straps.
