Hi all
I'm new to this forum (been on WUS for a little longer), but I'm excited to be a part of this group and share my love for watches

I own a reverse panda speedmaster racing that I absolutely love. I've been looking for a leather Rally strap for it (19mm lug width) in either black (probably leaning this way) or brown. Of all the straps I've found online, I keep coming back to the strap that originally came with the CK2998 speedmaster, reference CUZ009780. I love everything about that strap. However, maybe it's a matter of principle, I don't want to pay $2-300 for a leather strap. But, as I've said, I keep coming back to this particular strap and love the white stitching and smaller pattern of holes and I think it would compliment my speedmaster very well.

Anyone know of 19mm racing straps that look very similar to the CUZ009780? I fear that, at the end of my search, I'll end up spending the $2-300 on this strap, and I really don't want to...

Thanks in advance. Mandatory picture:

 

Funny, I am currently searching for a new strap for my CK2998. We could trade for your bracelet ;-).

just kidding...

Bulang & Son offer some nice straps in 19 mm. I like this one:

Yeah, I've seen that same B&S strap and actually liked it quite a bit. I'll keep that in mind.
If you ever find your bracelet and want to "get rid" of your leather, look me up!

 

Great watch and my 1st post...ive decided to get this than the moonwatch

 

Hello, I’m also looking for straps and a bracelet for my CK2998. Have any luck?

 

Check out www.twostitchstraps, bespoke straps available in any dimension. Even Omegas in Omega museum are displayed on those, top quality craftsmanship!

 

This guy in Poland makes some awesome bespoke straps. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

I would check out Delugs. If you went full custom from him, it would probably be around $200. But I think he has rally/racing style straps in ready stock for around $100.

Thanks for the tag

 

I ended up ordering from Genteel Handmade close to 2 weeks ago. Will take some pics and post when I get it on my Speedy.

 

You're welcome!
