I've recently bought my first Blancpain watch but i don't really like the strap on it. Can i just buy them directly from blancpain or in a blancpain store? I have found some on Chrono24 but im not sure how reliable some of these sellers are. (better safe then sorry right ) Thanks for the reading
I'd contact the closest Blancpain Boutique and ask about purchasing straps. You can also try grey market sellers... I bought from here in the past, and they are trustworthy. https://www.grayandsons.com/watch-bands/blancpain-watch-bands-and-straps.html Blancpain site https://www.blancpain.com/en/cases-dials-bracelets
No reason you have to stick to Blancpain straps. I love the gator/leather strap my Villeret came on, but hot sticky NYC Summers would destroy it. So, I put it on this rubber strap for the Summer and I have to say, it’s the most comfortable strap I’ve ever worn. Not sure it will be coming off this strap in the Fall! https://www.hirschstraps.com/produc...ubber-watch-strap-in-black?variant=1317531204
Thank you! It looks indeed like a very comfortable strap. I have seen "Hirschstraps" before and they also have a few Crocodile leather bracelets. They look very good imo, do you have also any experience with these too? Kind regards
I don’t. That’s the only Hirsch I have, but in addition to being very comfortable it is also very high quality...looks like it will last and look great for a very long time. The NYC Summer hasn’t touched it! Watchgecko also make some nice straps, one of their PVC/rubber straps is my DSOTM Summer strap. https://www.watchgecko.com/zuludiver-quick-release-sailcloth-padded-divers-watch-strap I also considered this one for the BP at first, but it was out of stock at the time https://www.watchgecko.com/sorico-water-resistant-alligator-grain-watch-strap
