    Based on the logo, does anyone know who made this strap?

    Thanks, you are correct. It looks as though they have their straps branded, even though they don't sell them separately. Looks like I'll have to find something similar.

    The sales sticker is the logo from Fratellowatches.Com. I read an article they published on leather watch straps they recommend. They may be abe to help..

    if this is the same Davidoff, the Logo seems a little different to the one on your watch strap.

    It's not that Davidoff, but the Davidoff Brothers, who are vintage watch purveyors in Switzerland.

    Ahhhh... now that is the right logo!:thumbsup: Lovely strap mate. I really like those chunky leather straps with the rustic stitching. I intend to buy one as an alternative strap from the bracelet on my Speedmaster.

    Very nice straps on there @oddboy. I particularly like the suede brown examples and the ones that look a bit worn. I think the type I am looking for is very similar to the brown one with the nice stitching that you had on your beautiful brown dial Ed White that you showed us recently. I think those brown leather straps show off a tropical dial much better than a steel bracelet. Your strap, dial and bezel are a perfect match. Very cool and classy look mate!:thumbsup: Did you get it from www.basandlokes.Com?

    That one was made with love by a member here, @Fost

    Send him a PM. Very reasonable prices.

    As I understand it, Davidoff, Hodinkee and Bulang and Sons use the same suppliers... ;)

    Is it possible to go to the source, or are they only a wholesaler for those resellers.

    They all have straps made by the same people.

    I'd give WatchGecko a look as well. I tend to get mine from them.

    Some strap makers are, some aren't, hence the "them (him)" comment. After looking at the JPM website I'm still clueless if and how I would buy a strap from them (him), so I have moved on to finding something similar.

    I picked up a Geckota 20mm grey suede strap at the weekend (similar vintage/aged styling) and thought it was very good value for money.
