I’ve come to like the style of leather watch band that has a simple stitch on each side. Example:

Can I please get some suggestions of where to purchase a quality leather watch band of this style?

Many thanks.

Just asking if it’s okay to use a photo of Boris Johnson (on a good day) as an avatar 👎

There used to be a huge sticky on this topic and it would be a shame to try to re-create it. I don't know how to find them now that they have been moved.

BTW, those two-stitch straps are available almost everywhere. The main thing to decide is what type of leather you want. If you want ordinary leather, they are quite cheap. If you want Horween shell, then you will pay more.

If you want high-line, the Jean Paul Menicucci are hard to beat, I have a couple of these too.

There are a thousand and two people making this style because it's dead simple and no machines involved. They're all over eBay and Etsy.

Personally, I can't stand that style, but to each her own. 😀

How about this, do you remember when we needed to call “Zenith 50,000” to report a crime in progress? Thank goodness they shortened it to 911
