It's no secret that having a right strap will do wonders to the watch.

Having said that, I never experienced such thing till recently.
I got two custom straps ordered, and just be amazed how they make my watches look.

I’m at a total of 5 straps I have made. I love that they are unique a unique animal and color, also I have my initials branded on the inside of each of so they are just that much more special as unique to me.

My strap guy mainly made strap for "bigger" watches, maybe you will be intrigued by some of them.

I want to have "sporty"/ modern strap for my vintage, and really glad with the result

I suggest smaller buckles though for a more proportionate look, for vintage watches I think 16mm is max. while I personally prefer 14mm myself

Not custom, but I think these complement the watches well.
