Thanks @Syrte. I found the referenced sticky thread*). I'll browse it and see where it leads me - and thanks for the kind offer about the bespoke option. *) https://omegaforums.net/threads/«wa...-buy-good-quality-leather-watch-straps.82232/
Tried to order from vintagestraps.it on August 1st but no confirmation came, tried emailing them several times, no reply and there is no # to call them either. I was charged 115€ for an order that clearly never was handled. Non existing Customer Service like me and several others experienced is a clear WARNING TO STAY AWAY from this company.
Well, they have charged my account without sending or confirming any item and have chosen not to reply when trying to contact them - SCAM!
The straps they make kind of remind me of Fluco straps. Why not just order one of those from a reputable store?
Why does anyone even bother when there are other very talented providers of beautiful leather straps, including some who are members of this forum ? The prices cited above are outrageous in the context of bad service.
