Title: Suggestions to buy 20mm lug width straps
Post by: syamieclaws on March 15, 2016, 09:15:16 PM

Hi guys... i am currently using a seiko srp705k1 right now with its stock strap and was thinking of changing to a better n more comfortable strap.

do you guys have any suggestions on where to find good quality straps around shah alam or neighbouring regions?

and also is it possible to change to metal bracelet for this watch?

Is you don't mind paying bit more for custom straps there are quite a couple of makers in Thailand, Indonesia, Spore and Taiwan. Maybe it starts from USD 100(Calf ) to USD 200(for gators). They can do any custom size you need.

I like the US makers since price point between the Asean and US strap makers are almost the same. But you got to wait 3-4 weeks for shipping. if that's okay you can try this too :

-Micah Vintager
-Greg Steven
-SPNR strap
-Rob Montana Strapsmith

There is one in Australia also very nice : bas and Lokes.

Try pertama complex maybe got ?

If they charging you 300/400 you can go for European strap makers who do this as a full time profession. So why would you want to do local or asian vs a full time professional strap maker from the US or Europe.
