Monaco Replacement Strap - any suggestions?
Discussion
Morning all, the leather strap on my Monaco broke on Saturday night. Fortunately I was sat at a table in a restaurant rather than walking somewhere!
Anyway, has anyone any experience of a decent aftermarket strap or am I going to have to bend over? Must be leather and I'm thinking either go for black crocodile skin again or have a change and do perforated tan.
Suggestions welcomed.

Clearly there's a difference in quality & longevity, (but having handed over the thick end of £700 for a service & strap to TAG, I wasn't fussed about not having real crocodile, or having to fit replacements more often). FYI, mine's a 2001 blue faced Monaco & this is only my second or third strap. The watch is worn daily, apart from festivals.
I'm sure there's others around, but make sure you get the little spring tool.

They look good thank you, shame they don't have any perforated straps, but the croc style ones are very reasonable!Clearly there's a difference in quality & longevity, (but having handed over the thick end of £700 for a service & strap to TAG, I wasn't fussed about not having real crocodile, or having to fit replacements more often).
