New strap for the 214270

If anybody is looking for a VERY fair priced hand made leather straps, made in the USA, from a small business.... Jack Foster (out of SC), came across on the Omega forums placed an order. From order placed to receiving was about 2.5 weeks, as I believe is one man show. Plenty of choices with stitching and color options as well. For this with shipping was 60$ IMO well worth it. Figured this is an excellent option for those who enjoy the classic look of leather.

Cheers.

Honestly I’m not a huge Rolex on a strap guy. But I think I’d rock that convo.

I love the 214270! I’m not a fan of straps on Rolex watches but that one appears well made, especially for the price. Can you customize the strap length? I’m curious because it looks like you wear in on the last hole. I know some people do that’s because they like a lot of “tail”, especially on PAM’s. Jack Foster is a one man show and your strap was made by Matt?

Well post a wrist shot when I get home, the straps can be customized I ordered med/long (not full custom) and on my 6.5” wrist I also like my watches fairly tight. But to answer the question yes you can have it custom made.

The quality is freaking fantastic truly. It’s a beautifully made this is I believe his “London leather” has a worn look and super soft.

Your photos have me reconsidering my opinion. That is a really nice combination. The Explorer lends itself well to a strap. The blue stitching goes well with your ink.
