Anothe strap question - watches like this...ern or even budu

[PhantomPH]

Hi again,

This watch is properly cool (with the all important McQueen connection! ) - can anyone suggest any modern or budget watches that have the same racing-style, full-width leather strap like this?

It's called a bund strap and is not a racing strap; it's a military/flying strap... hence the style of that watch is WW2 German airforce.

That said, if you mean the strap HAS to be the same width all the way round, check out "cuff straps". Argos used to sell a modern watch on a cuff strap for about £20.

I've also got a Tag Monaco (CAW2110) and would love to see pics if you put yours on this type of strap...

Finding it tough to find a place that sells cuff straps in the UK, mate. Monaco is a 22mm lug (I believe) and would look great on a full black cuff.
