    I have a handful of nice straps that for one reason or another are just sitting in a drawer.

    I would like to suggest a strap exchange thread for and between forum members. No selling, just swapping

    I have seen this work well on bike forums for handlebar stems, frames, etc. I think it’s a nice way to connect with other members and build goodwill in the community.

    Thoughts? Hopefully they are positive. If so, I can kick off the thread by posting some pics of what I have and what I’m looking for

    The UG Subforum may not be the best location for a thread like this, unless you mean it to be solely for UG watches.

    Why?

    Plenty of UG watches with or wanting straps that could benefit from this.

    Plenty of UG owners with non-UG watches that could benefit from this.

    I think it’s a great idea. We all end up with extra straps. If the thread is up a level, might get more people participating? But if it’s here, might get more strap options for me? I’m fine either way.

    Because it may get more readers/ participants who do not look at posts in the UG subforum? I figured you probably want more people to see this rather then less, but I readily admit I may be mistaken about that.

    I would like to swap for a BLACK leather 20mm, similar style to #2 above

    Thanks for playing. Hoping this experiment works!!

    Hello. Thanks for the reply. I don't need an 18mm strap, but if you are in the US I will just send you the black one. PM me
