Good day everyone!

Looking for some recommendations to watch strap websites. I've googled and seen the mainstream, was hoping all my watchsmiths new of the hidden gems. Much love and thanks in advance!

They have an online customiser :-)

Great quality straps, a little pricey though

Does anyone have experience purchasing "original" vintage NATO strap for their Rolex, too many sites claim to be the original?

A friend recommended the Gunny Store which looks to have a nice range of Rolex straps: https://gunny-store.com/brand/rolex

Just bought one from RSMwatchstraps.com, They offer nicer cloth woven NATO types of straps in various patterns.

Shipping took quite a while, but I attribute that largely to the COVID situation relating to packages coming from overseas. They promptly responded and offered to help when I brought it up. Prices are pretty good. Really like this watch strap so far. They have some pretty cool straps on their site too.

If you're looking for a leather strap for a WW1 trench watch, David Boettcher is the guy to go to. David Boettcher vintage watch straps.

I have a few straps from Veblenist and they’ve been great. You can customize things like lug width, offsetting where the holes are on the longer strap, and even the widths of the buckle pin and notch if you’re supplying your own.

JacobStraps is a strap maker located in Spain. Turn around time is 4-6 weeks. The quality is worth the wait. It really feels like Christmas getting the strap youve been waiting for haha. He can make completely custom straps too. I had him make a totally unique strap for my Ingenieur which has a AP like lug case. It truly felt like it came from the factory. I wouldnt buy anything else again. His prices are as good as anything American made and he's far better. The materials and craftmanship are the highest end.

Barton for rubber straps. The “ Elite Silicone ” is comfortable, and comes in many colors.
WatchGecko, the “ Italian handmade leather strap “ in chocolates brown is a winner. I have it on my Sarb033. Nice, quality thick strap.
