Hi all,

Im looking for good quality leather strap alternatives to the oem Omega straps for my Globemaster. Something at a lower price point than the oem would be a plus as I’d like to get multiples. I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Also, I’m a fan of the rail master oem charcoal herringbone strap. Any idea what these cost from the OB?

cheers,
Craig

That's the big question.
High quality straps aren't cheap and cheap straps aren't high quality.

I guess some where between $100 - $150usd. Any more than that and I’d just rather shell out for an oem strap. I know the Omega straps go for around $280 for an alligator without the buckle, but was just curious as to whether you can get something of similar or decent quality for cheaper. I’ve never bought leather straps so I don’t have any reference as to judge the varying degrees of quality out there.

I really like JPM and Veblenist. I find both to be very high quality and around the price point you are looking at. Here are two examples on my Speedy!

No problem! The Veblenist straps also have the added bonus of quick spring bars. So if you are like me and like to switch straps a lot it makes the process was easier and reduces the likelihood of scratches from a tool

That’s good info. I do switch between the bracelet and straps I currently have, so quick string bars are very welcome.
