Does anyone have any decent resources for finding a specific type of strap?

Would like to find this:

But either get nothing or too much when Googling...

Try Watch Obsession, they have a large selection of straps at various price points, you might find something similar there.

Exactly thesame could prove difficult as it's more than likely a OEM IWC strap.

That looks like a shell cordovan strap to me.

The Colareb Venezia is quite similar: https://shop.colareb.it/index.php?id_category=74&a...

Thanks guys.

As a bit of closure...

"Shell Cordovan" seems to be a generic leather type/style?

Like the Colareb but they looked a bit thicker than I was after and wasn't keen on the stitching.

After more Googling I realised Hodinkee was also a shop! They sell the very strap in the article (duh)...expensive and out of stock.

Using keywords you guys supplied and the Hodinkee sit had, and too much time surfing, I found this - www.watch-band-center.com. On there I found one similar to the Colareb without the stitching and a bit thinner. Cheaper too so if it doesn't work out, no issue.

So a bit of a change inbound smile
