I love the look of the deployment clasp that came on my BB58, but find it a little uncomfortable on my wrist. Any pictures/suggestions of aftermarket brands that make nice leather straps?

mui richard, thanks they have some awesome straps. are the EU based?

I got a B&S strap for my 58. Really makes it pop! I have been thinking recently about putting it back on the bracelet again to change things up.

I think they are based in the netherlands.

You dont have to pay a fortune for straps today, brands like Hirsch sell straps very good quality and equal to many who charge three or four time more.

Looks fantastic, I much prefer it on a leather strap!

I have several Bulang & Sons straps and balancing cost and quality they seem to work very well for me. They have good customer service and shipping is great.

Yes they are based in the Netherlands and they ship world-wide by courier. So if the strap is in stock you'll be probably get it before Christmas.

The boars hide strap I have for my Bronze is the softest strap I have ever owned

DanBB58 · 14 December 2018, 11:34 PM

I really wanted a bronze but the size of the thing put me off. Looks awesome on that strap though!

DanBB58 · 14 December 2018, 11:45 PM

I must say I'm tempted by Toshi Straps. Price is very reasonable for a strap hand made in the UK.

Cru Jones · 14 December 2018, 11:47 PM

Really depends on the type of strap you want (calf, vintage, gator, rubber, etc.). Depending on the answer, different makers might be more adapted.

Having said that, Vintagerstraps is a great source.

Did u mean VintageStraps based in Italy?

If this is in fact the one you're referring to... DON'T!
It took them over 10 months to fulfill my order of one strap...and all the while ignoring all my emails.

I wouldn't order from those guys again if the straps were free.

Hirsch straps and BandRbands have great straps. Ordered a Hirsch for my Explorer 1 and used to wear my Black Bay on BandRbands
