I saw this strap on this CK2998-4. I really like it, and wanted to pick a couple up for myself. Would you kindly enlighten me as to what this is (or similar), and/or sources? thanks!! Mark
I actually just had a very similar questions... http://omegaforums.net/threads/any-idea-where-i-can-get-a-strap-like-this.11022/#post-128248
It's not my CK2998! I wish! But perhaps it is some Respectable Member's here. In the meantime, I welcome pointers to that strap! epl108 - great thread!! Thank you for the link!
These straps are mostly favoured by the Rolex crowd. Looks like they are gaining popularity among the Speedmaster collectors.
hi there - SJX has similar style straps if you search "vintage watch straps sjx" http://shop.watchesbysjx.com/product/brown-vintage-calf-watch-strap
These straps do give a nice vintage look and (perhaps like nato straps) can be found in several colours. May also be custom made but a web search could turn up some results to plow through ...
I love the texture and color of the leather. But for some reason, I find the stitch on each side (near the lugs) very distracting. And I typically like subtle details like this! Maybe I had better put my old man/old school slippers back into the closet...
