Been searching for a replacement strap. Most of the recommendations here are for Rustwatch, but his eBay account is deactivated and his blujay store hasn't taken orders since September. Anyone ordered from www.watch-band-center.com? Any other US-based stores? Just for kicks, attached is the watch I'm looking to re-band. Feel free to recommend a specific strap ... Thanks for any help you can offer.
try http://stores.ebay.com/KELARAN-USA - my personal recommendation recently discussed here, beginning towards the bottom of page 1 http://omegaforums.net/threads/straps-for-black-dials.2069/
I bought a genuine US alligator strap from this company last year. I called customer service prior to buying to see if they had straps in long. They were very nice and helpful. The strap arrived quickly and the quality is excellent. The strap looks fabulous and I would recommend this company I also bought a military strap from Holben's in Washington state-excellent quality and fast delivery plus free shipping-I recommend them also www.holbensfinewatchbands.com
Hi, I've bought from watchbandcenter once before. They seem to have a decent range, and they sent the straps over quite quickly. I have a small wrist (6.3") so their selection of short straps proved helpful. Plus they also have a selection of open-ended straps for fixed-lug watches.
After reading this thread, I purchased two alligator straps from Kelaran on ebay. Shipping took a little longer than I expected (a full week), but the straps look very nice and seem to be of high quality. I would use them again.
I think the Kelaran USA alligator strap is of very high quality and I would buy from them again I did not have as long a shipping wait as did the above member
