Besides Hodinkee and Bulang and Sons with JPM straps does anyone have any other suggestions for distressed watch bands?

Thank you!

 

Also please share pics of your distressed bands and where you purchased. . Love to see what’s out there.

 

Here’s my fave. I used a buckle that’s a bit too narrow but the strap looks fantastic. Commissioned from an Italian craftsman who has very reasonable prices and turns around in 24 hours.

 

@Syrte
That looks fantastic! Would you PM me the details for the strap maker?

 

I did.... ok if you order several straps I shd say the order might take a few more days but nothing like weeks or months like so many places.

 

I got this one from an eBay seller called LSitalianaccesories....lovely aged look and very soft/comfortable - loads cheaper than B&S and Hirsch heritage etc too.
One slight issue is its a tad too thick for my Omega buckle to fit comfortably hence its ended up on the Longines with generic buckle instead.

 

Aaron Bespoke. Hirsch ...

 

Never saw Aaron Bespoke before. Good call.

 

I got this from two stitch straps and I love it. Most of the straps are around 50$ and definitely will last a long time.

 

De Griff will do a distressed strap.

 

Jankoxxx on this forum made 2 great watch straps for me in the past. Although they were not distressed, I believe he has some distressed straps on his site. https://www.watchstrapheaven.com/shop?page=2

Are your kids ever going to get to college with your watch spending habits

 

How do ya think I'm going to afford college? Sell some watches?

 

When not on the 1125 I'm wearing it on this one.
