Talk to me about straps

[Jammez]

Hi Folks

I have a Raymond Weil Tango like the one in the pic.



The strap is on it's way out again & previously my wife had dropped it into the shop where she purchased it from and got them to replace it with another Raymond Weil strap. Unbeknown to me that cost the thick end of £200! I like the watch but another strap at £200 is pushing close to the original purchase price of the watch! The strap has quite a nice Raymond Weil buckle which I assume I could swap onto any leather strap of the right size so my question is any recommendations on decent strap companies that I can use? More than capable of swapping it over myself.

Hirsch watch straps make straps for some of the watch makers they good quality and normally a lot cheaper than the originals.

thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look. Just found an older thread on here with a couple of websites to check out too.

Like the look of the Toshi straps. I had a hirsch strap on my last sk007 and it was excellent, although recently bought a hirsch strap from Amazon and its a bit cheap/nasty. Worth getting it direct from Hirsch website I reckon.
