My first watchband!
Didn't want to wear the stainless steel bracelet that came with my watch full-time, so I crafted a simple band.

Question on strap
Do you know if there is a company that make a strap for the tv multifort big date in the style of the Patek Philippe aquanaut, Same clasp on ruber but for the Mido ? I have a thin wrist and the rubber strap almost extends beyond the other side. (photo 2)

Replacing the leather strap on a mechanical 'Omega'?
Looks like I'm going to have a bit of trouble with this.
I have an 'Omega' mechanical watch. I say it like 'Omega' because my dad got it when he went to China/Hong Kong & who knows whether it's even genuine or not, but it's irrelevant to me as it has huge sentimental value as my dad is no longer alive & he gave me it.
It came with a leather strap which has cracked. I've never been a fan of leather straps with that being one of the big reasons.
I bought a metal strap off Amazon which as I've just opened it now I notice it's got a quick release pin.
Due to where the pin holes are I can't get it to sit well at all. The watch itself is blocking the strap from going in enough to locate the pin.
I'd prefer to go with metal but everything seems to be quick release so I'm wondering if I'm going to keep having this trouble.
Also what should I measure exactly when buying in a strap? As depending on where on the watch I measure, it's either 19mm or 20mm. That's measuring just the watch. Or should I be measuring somewhere on the old strap or even the old pin?

Desperately need this watch strap
I can’t find anyone who is selling this specific color of bund strap for a citizen bullhead. Best I could find is similars but the quality is either too cheap looking the color not matching or ugly. Any ideas where to look or who to ask to make one?

21mm Aftermarket Straps
The strap on my new Orient Bambino V8 is just barely long enough to use. Anybody have a good place to source longer than standard straps and bracelets? The Orient site isn't a lot of help as most are out of stock

Best OEM bracelet or strap for my Speedmaster Moonphase?
Absolutely love my inherited Speedmaster Moonphase (3575.20.00 i believe), but have very sadly not been able to wear it (see pics of the completely disintegrated strap). Of all my dad’s watches, holding this one really makes me feel his energy and miss his amazing personality sorely. He’d give me shit for not wearing it either 😁
Would love to find the correct OEM steel bracelet if it’s available and not outrageously expensive. Does anyone know the correct bracelet reference for this model?
If not, do you think this watch is better suited to leather? I’d love to hear what you guys think. Thanks!

Made-to-order black alligator watch strap
Just completed this custom black alligator strap.
No contrast stitching, no flashy colors—just beautiful alligator grain and a clean handmade finish. Sometimes simplicity is the ultimate luxury.
Would you wear this on a Cartier Tank, Santos, or something else?

Chocolate tablet strap collection [8L35 - 6R15]
There is a lot of overlap in design here and all of them run pretty much spot on, 1 or 2 secs/day off at most.
Since all of them perform the same, without considering the movement specs, which one do you like best?

Thoughts on strap color?
Recently went to the Lange boutique to check out the new 2026 offerings and saw this unique strap color. The color is really growing on me. Reminds me of Himalayan croc. Tax included 👍

Tough to find Nato for 21mm lugs
I've had some difficulties finding a 21mm Nato strap. Seems they mostly come in 20 or 22mm. Google gemini advises to go to 22mm for 21mm lugs to avoid unsightly gaps between the lugs. So I ordered a 22mm Nato for my Tudor 41 Burgundy. Does anyone have pics of a Nato on their watch where the Nato is bigger than the lug width of the watch?

Embossed or smoother traditional leather?
Firm preference? Or dependent on the watch style?

Replacement Rubber Strap
My rubber sport strap is breaking on my dual crown. Has anyone found an adequate replacement for sport strap in the US.
I bought one on Amazon but the color isn’t quite right. Mostly looking to match the color.

New strap time.
This is a hard watch to colour match!
Think I’m happy with this for the money though. Just need to workout how to get the clasp of the original strap - any help appreciated.

Watch Strap Suggestions for Markwell Hard Candy: Open to all ideas
Love the watch, but not so sure about the rubber strap. I feel like this could even be a dressier type watch if presented right. Ideas for a different strap-style, material, color? Looking for ideas!
