OK, I'm after a nice brown leather strap, good quality, but not shiny/dressy. What would you recommend / favourites, pics would be great.

These people based in Germany, https://www.watch-band-center.com/shop-watchstrap.... have a very extensive range of straps.

Including horse, buffalo, ray and goat to name but a few.

I've only bought a titanium deployment clasp from them, pre-Brexit. What the costs would be post Brexit, I am not sure of.

The service was fine.

Another vote for Steveostraps. Chose a lovely strap of his for my Tudor GMT.

I've also seen one of Bazza's straps from the chap he mentions in Scotland. The quality looked great for the money.

Whilst leather is waterproof, I don't find they wear well with repeated wetting. (I never take a watch off)
