Where can I get straps for the above?

I know they'll cost a bomb but that's the price you pay I suppose. Google is a bit hit and miss.

Generally only from an AD, there are plenty of fake straps around on the web so be aware!

Why do you want OEM? They (pretty much) only stamp their name on the same strap you can buy elsewhere for less.

Agreed, there are some lovely straps out there that will cost a fraction of the amount.

Wish I could remember the name of the company I bought my leather strap for my Carrera from, it was mentioned on here not too long ago. Nowhere near the price of an OEM strap but still great quailty.

As has been said above, you can get better quality straps for less money than OE.

For CousinsUK do all sorts of OE bits, so you could, if you wanted add a branded buckle to an after market strap.

Alfa,
I have two genuine Breitling leather straps (ex Navitimer). Both 22-18mm, one tan the other blue. They are in superb condition and if they are of interest to you, please email me.

I'm umming and aahing whether to get a used Breitling B1 or a new Seamaster quartz and fancy a strap.

If I get a B1, I'll give you a shout, love blue leather straps, already have a Breitling Intruder with one, so Brown sounds good for variety!

Will be in touch if I get the B1,

thanks for the ofrei link, been there before but forgot all about them!

Not sure whether it is true - but I have been told that Hirsch make Omega's leather straps.

Decent Hirsch around £30 - Omega? although I guess 5 to 10 times that from some of the horror stories on here
