I'll pm you a website for the leather, but I haven't used this website before. Looks reliable though. The shipping cost is not too bad also. Best of all, they sell very exotic leather like chicken and fish

Hello Ryen,

Check out this link : http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php/topic,35.0.html

Agreed with most of the members' suggestion to ask Sifu Chris on strap-making matters.
