Best Place for an Alligator strap !!!!

Do not want oem !! and have seen some Dangerous 9 straps which are IMHO the best looking straps but so many options and highly priced . Looking for a super black matte gator for my Breitling Super Avenger with diamond bezel . Or any other options that you make this pop !!! Not a daily wearer just on special occasions .

I like Micah & Simona gators. They're not as refined as the OEM gators. For an OEM substitute, I think the Hadley Roma matte gators are nice for the money.

Yes i am going to order the same strap for my Breitling Super Avenger with factory diamond dial and the red stitching will match the red second hand and the chrono at the 12 position .

If you don't need custom, I've found Rios1931 President and Connoisseur to be excellent gators. I'm in Texas and find the best source to be Ernst Westphal in Hamburg (watchparts24.de).
