BONETTI AND MORELLATO

Have both, good value for money. Between the two, I personally would go for Morellato. I am guessing this is for the 5? IF so I suggest other brands.

Well you have our bro from Singapore. I think his strap is pretty good value for money. Have not bought any yet. You know my favourite strap maker from Taiwan, nice but not cheap. There are 2 in Malaysia (PM me if you want their contacts, but I have not bought from them).

The brands I use, other than the two brands you indicated are Wotancraft, TheWatchBoys, Banda, DaLuca and Panerai Original.

Assuming "5" is a PAM005, you'll be spoiled for choice!  :thumbsup:

I've had my fair share of different straps with different prices. My take is that if you have already spent, say, RM10K+ for a watch, try not to skim on the strap. Straps can range from RM50-RM5K and owning a few quality straps is always better than a ton of "buy-n-tuck-away" straps. I know I have a few of those initially  ;D Ultimately, it all depends on your budget?

Some high quality straps may even last longer than the both of us  ;) In the event, you would like to let it go sometime down the road( provided the condition is not too shabby) it will still have value in the secondary market.

Too bad, the earlier request for a pinned strap thread was not pinned. Else, I'm sure a lot of folks here can chip in some pics and share our thoughts there.

Some good strap makers: Simona Di Stefano, Ted Su, Gunny, ABP, HK Tan, Dirk and a whole lot more.

Btw, "value-for-money" lies in the eye of the beholder. If you're happy, then go for it  :Cheers:

Bro Hobbit, 2 Malaysian strapmakers? I counted only 1. Please enlighten me  :angel:

If you are referring to exotic hides, yes, there are also pangolin, tuna, lamb, frog, elephant, etc.  ;D
