·Selling these three straps as a lot. The straps all come from reputable places and were either attached to watches I bought, or ordered by me and just not used anymore. They are worn but in good condition!
ON HOLD1)- Vintage Tropic rubber strap $95 +ship
20mm straight ends. It seems it spent its life squeezed onto an old skindiver with 19mm lugs though so there's a slight gap on 20s.
MOD DEP, Swiss Made version with Acier buckle. This version of the Tropic is quite valuable I'm told, and so I think it's better off enjoyed by someone else! These were often spec'd by watch dealers back in the day and were especially popular on Rolex Submariners. This one is in truly excellent condition, very supple and with no tears or breaks, or really much evidence of wear at all. (It did need some cleaning when I got it though, so it definitely has been worn.)
2)- Bulang & Sons Piombo Grey leather strap $50 +ship
18mm, about a year old. I bought this for my Eterna Kontiki and since I've moved that watch on to a proper loving home, I haven't found a use for it as I don't have many other watches with 18mm lugs. This is in excellent condition with no damage to it, and no signs of wear at all beyond the bend and buckle marks. B&S / JPM straps go for about 90€ new, so I'd rather give this one up than let it sit around in my watch box forever.
3)- Kaufmann Continental leather strap $35 +ship
Brown, 22mm, came on a Breitling that I purchased from Antiquorum. Not my style, but apparently these too go for something in the neighborhood of 90€ new and from my limited research seem to be popular with the Panerai crowd? This one looks to have been around for a little while, with some small marks around it and some scratching in the leather on the outside of the keepers but is otherwise in pretty good condition.
OR I will sell these straps as a lot, asking $195 US plus buyer's choice of shipping. International is available. Returns accepted within 3 days of receipt, for a full refund as long as the straps are returned to me in the exact same condition they were sent. Located in New York and available for socially-distanced handoff as well.
Please consider the photos as part of the description and send me any questions you may have, I'm glad to take some more close-up photos if preferred! I'm a collector, not a dealer, but over the years I have made a few sales and have good feedback which can be found in the Seller Reviews section here on OF, or by entering my username in a search engine. Thanks!
