    Here's one of my favorite combos, my Speedmaster on a Chris Ward cordovan leather deployant:

    OM OEM, treated myself when in London and near a Boutique, very nice in person, not showing any signs of wear and tear.

    Some great straps guys. Also some very expensive straps!! I know the watch deserves it but I find it hard to justify spending over £100 on a leather strap. I am still considering what to buy so in the meantime thought I would make one! Its not perfect but it does give me an idea of what I'm looking for. What do you think?

    Just got my Bas&Lokes! Very impressed with the quality. The color I bought is considerably lighter than I thought it'd be, though.

    I like it, looks good on the watch and on your arm.

    Both of my Bas&Lokes got darker as I wore them. Possibly the oils from touching them, possibly the raised leather texture getting matted down.

    I promise you you’ll like that strap even more 3 months from now, once it gets some personality.

    Always thought the speedmaster was at home with a brown rallye strap.

    Why not try it on a brown Nato?

    Expensive for a strap, but I love the speedy Tuesday one. Even better once broken in a bit

    Ivan at Two Stitch Straps recently made me two straps from a batch of 60 year old leather that he sourced.
