    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?

    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.

    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...
