Title: Recommendations for leather straps
Post by: feydrax on December 28, 2016, 11:16:28 AM

Hey guys! My cheap leather strap just died from just a couple months of wear  :Praying:

Can someone recommend me some good sources for leather straps? (websites / shops in KL - Pls PM me if posting of that is not allowed).

Also, how do you take care of the leather strap? I find deployant clasps very useful but I can't justify getting a strap that may be more expensive than my cheap seiko 5  :Laughing_on_floor:

Then it may be the time to consider for an watch upgrade as well... :Cheers:

Haha, that's part of the plan too! :thumbsup: always end up drooling over watches that are way over budget though  :Laughing_on_floor:

May consider further what type of leather best match to your watch such as calf, alligator, python etc.
The type of buckle is part of it too.
