Recommend me a nice, soft black leather strap (18mm) please!

[doosht]

Ive got an old Tissot Seastar which actually keeps amazing time but the strap has seen better days. As the watch is not worth much i do not want to be spending a Kings Ransom on a strap. So, could anyone recommend a nice and soft leather (18mm) strap for no more than say £20 please?

TIA

For reasonable and cheap Id search eBay for "Hirsch 18mm leather" and list them in price order.

Nice, but the watch is only worth about £50 and these straps are coming up at £70!!

Some silicone and stainless options from Hirsch too, which all seem to be cheaper than leather.

I recently bought a pre-owned HydroConquest which came on a Rios 1931 buffalo leather strap. It's almost deliciously soft and supremely comfortable.

I have a few cheapies (Parnis) on harsh plasticky 'leather' straps which I'm definitely going to swap out for Rios ones.

Hope that helps

I've had a couple from http://www.sectime.co.uk/

Used the Orange Croc on my Bremont MBII.

If you PM me your address I've got something similar to this in 18mm. Used a few times obviously.



I might have one of these in a dark brown 18mm as well.

Great! I will PM you now.

Yes, got the email - thanks again!

No worries.

I've got four years' service from a £15 strap from TSS; their clasps look good and last well, too.
