    Can I have any or all links to the nicest and best value Lizard skin straps you have purchased?

    I like the shiny ones and preferably in the UK.

    Thanks! :thumbsup:

    Kenny at fredawatchstraps has always taken care of me, and they have some nice gloss lizards straps.

    I like DeBeers - they have good short straps which is what I need.

    I raise my own, I find that cutting out the middleman saves big $$, and at the same time it promotes a eco friendly world saving environment

    Hirsch lizard is not bad. DeBeer has the advantage of short and regular lizard straps, which is helpful for guys with skinny wrists like me

    Yeah, I've had Hirsch and De Beers straps before and I like them. I was just looking for something a little bit different...an lesser known brand.

    I join the club for having skinny wrists too!

    I doubt anyone can match my girly 6.3" wrist! Most inconvenient when it comes to buying straps. I once had to buy a Hirsch open-ended strap for a fixed lug watch, that was a short strap for my skinny wrist. The model of the strap was 'Princess'...

    This is why I miss James Rust and his straps - he had a wide variety of lizard straps for sale and as I mentioned above his artisanal straps were the best - no matter what the material was.

    No, you should be fine with mediums. My wrist is about 6.6 to 6.7 inches depending on the temperature, and mediums work well. If I'm going custom, I have the buckle side made the same length as a medium and then have the hole side reduced by 10 mm and they fit perfectly with no tag end showing on the outside of my wrist.

    I do not think this poor lizard is too happy, with what you are going to do. Most likely in its mind it says, 'Do it and I shall surely swallow your watch.'

    Just be careful.

    Thank-you.

    Never fear, Only lizards that lived a long happy life and died of natural causes are used. Of course they must sign all legal paperwork donating their remains for watch strap and nature conservation causes. All perfectly on the up and up. :thumbsup:
