Tag Carrera - where to get a new strap

[tjk123]

I own the Tag Heuer Carrera CV2011 pictured. Sadly the leather strap has split through use and it's now unwearable. I bought new it in 2006 (in New York) and it's served me well since but I'm a bit shocked at the cost of new straps (£400 it seems). Surely there's a more economical way of re-strapping these than paying £400 for a piece of leather? Any advice? I'm not a watch aficionado by any stretch of the imagination but would like it fixed and sat on my wrist rather than in a drawer.

Don't bother replacing it with a TAG branded strap, get something from here

If it's of interest, I have a genuine TAG deployment clasp I keep meaning to put up for sale.

Thing is I've got the clasp it's just the actual leather strap itself that's worn through so I don't really need another clasp I'm afraid.

Find out your lug measurement and the size of your deployment clasp and get a Hirsch or similar strap and find a friendly jeweller to fit it for you.

A real leather strap won't set you back more than £20.

I bought one of these for my new heuer, and I have to say, for the price it's spot on.....fits the heuer deployant perfectly too

Cheers Mr Demon I've just ordered from there, strap looks like a very close match. Now to find a decent watch place that'll give it a good clean and fit it....
