    I wish I had googled and found this thread before making an order. Ordered on Nov 4th, received "please be patient" mail on Dec 1st and silence since then, despite a number of reminder mails from my side. Still have a glimmer of hope to receive my order. Be wary.

    I ordered in January and have still not heard a sound from them. I email on average twice a month to remind them, but have yet to receive any form of reply.

    I bought two straps a while back and one was faulty.
    Pic 1 below.
    They said "send it back and we'll put it right" so I did.
    The 2nd pic below shows what they sent back (faulty again).
    I told them that was it and I couldn't recommend them.
    To be fair, they then did offer me one free strap and to repair the second one but I was fed up with it all by them.
    Sharing experience to help people decide.

    You gents seem to spend a lot on straps! I use this eBay seller, good Italian straps, and well priced. I have a particular fondness for suede straps, but I am a louche Englishman...

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/lsitalianaccessories/

    I am in no way affiliated with the seller - just very pleased with the straps and service. I'm wearing one today...

    All I wanted was a 20mm grey canvas strap... is it too much to ask?

    Tell me 'bout it... I have a poor, naked EW due a lack of 19mm straps and the man won't do anything about it!

    Same here... Ordered in February, heard nothing since.
    I gave up and reported to my CC company for the refund.
    Was suspicious about them not taking PayPal payment, could have avoided this mess..
    For those considering any purchase, don't bother..
    You can find many other great strap makers out there as mentioned here.

    I bought a strap secondhand from another OF member for my Speedmaster, and it is of extremely high quality. I am very pleased with it.

    I almost ordered a strap from these guys, but after reading this thread - I'll pass. But, I really like their "Mustard Vintage Strap" 20mm with 18mm buckle.

    Any suggestion where else I can order a quality strap in this color scheme and "shadows"? :)

    There’s a whole sticky thread called « watch strap ressources ». I know a sweet italian craftsman who cà make something like that with a 24 hour turnaround time, probably at a fraction of the price.
    If you’re interested send me a private message and I will pass on his contact.
