Hi

Looking for some aftermarket watch straps in leather for a couple of my watches, not looking at something overly expensive.

Just browsing Amazon and seen a few highly rated brands, Fullmosa, Barton, Wocci.

Anyone had any experience of these.

Ideally looking for good quality and not something that's going to crack or peel off after a few months.

Need to be in 22 and 18mm sizes

TIA

Have a browse on Etsy. I got a lovely one from SherpLeatherwork.

Steveo Straps - he does custom at a reasonable price.

Am I correct in saying that’s pynchon63 on eBay, if people want to see more examples?

I’ve got a couple of toshi straps, since about 2012, and they still wear well. Not particularly cheap, £100 or so.

Yeah they are sir he prefers direct emails as that way he doesn't have to deal with any of the Ebay fee's smile

I to have a few Toshi strap's they are super but you have to pay for it, between £90 and £125

Here is one think it was £90

I'm fond of a Hadley Roma - nice quality and last well.
always got them from here: https://www.westonwatchstraps.co.uk/categories.php...

Have actually had a few good ones from Aliexpress but can be a bit hit or miss. Seems like a good way to get NATOs though.
