    Arrived today and put it on.
    It looks good, it feels a bit plastic and is thinner and lighter than expected, but I think it wears comfortable.
    Its sits into the tuna case nicely.
    Very happy with it

    Not sure how known he is on here. However I found Heritageleather straps on Facebook. After an hour of messaging last week and looking at different leathers in the colour range I was looking for, this is what he produced . All for a little under 100 euros delivered to UK by DHL.

    Excellent straps

    Just had pynchon63 who's on eBay make me a leather strap. I found him recommended on here somewhere but couldn't find the post to quote it.
    His number and email is in his profile if anyone is interested.

    Seriously cheap and made to my specifications. I'm very impressed with the quality. I know it's just a common looking strap but I couldn't find one that would be thick but also slip through the clasp end at 3mm so I sent him the clasp and the result is exactly what I wanted.
    All hand made including hand stitched.

    Looking for recommendations/suggestions.

    The Seiko Boutique kindly sent me a pin buckle for my Grand Seiko SBGA293G

    So, looking to try a different colour strap, initially thinking Burgundy, though happily open to other colour suggestions.

    Could members please offer advice :-)

    Pav straps gets my vote, the 2 I have from him are amongst the nicest I own. Alternatively Camille-Fournet are well worth the money, they are OEM vendors for JLC.

    I'd go with a royal blue with navy stitch to make the cream of the dial & the high polish of the hands pop.

    Alternatively a light grey with either ivory or dark grey stitching.

    Have bought many various handmade straps over the years.
    Heritageleather straps (facebook) is now my go to man . Not only for quality but value too. He also uses many different skins and leathers.
    Here are 5 of the six I've purchased this year.

    I have just ordered this strap to try on my GS
    goatskin-taupe

    Will replace the pin buckle with the GS one, that the Boutique gave me.

    If you are not on Facebook, is there any other way to contact them?

    What are the costs and delivery time?

    Many thanks

    I will ask him. Costs for post are included in his costs. He also is happy to use Transferwise which reduces the sending of money abroad costscand pretty good exchange rate. Saved me quite a few quid.

    Just going by his FB photos, they look as good as I've ever seen. What are prices like? If you'd rather not share the cost of yours then which bracket are they in please?

    £50 - £100
    £101 - £150
    £151 - £200
    £200+

    Cheers.

    And much better than the £470 OEM straps I've purchased in the past. Lessons learnt there.

    Does anyone know anywhere doing 24mm Tropic style straps?
    Can't seem to find any.
    Alternative is maybe Sailcloth but any 24mm have the wrong buckle hole - Need a wide one unfortunately.

    Not the best shots but you get the idea. I think it's transformed it to a much more expensive looking watch. Not that it was cheap mind you.

    From Heritage Leather Straps as recommended on here. Thanks.

    Red face Heuerville custom leather Rally straps?

    As made by Stewart Morley. Normally a 2 to 3 month lead time.

    What's the general consensus on quality of the Rally custom leather straps? :)

    Green Buttero w/ cream stitch made by David Richards. Fabulous quality and, as I’d hoped, perfect for the 4512 with its classic taper and rise but contemporary touches. And £78 in his sale too!

    Heritageleather straps

    Has anyone dealt with Heritage Leather in the last couple of weeks or so? I've been waiting on a delivery from him and he's stopped responding to messages. It may be that's he's away from the business on holiday for a while, but I just thought I'd ask here in case others were dealing with his currently and had the same experience.

    Just been looking and the website & FB pages are down...?

    Is there a list of UK watch strap makes about?
    I'm looking for a thinnish burgundy saffiano ideally (for a small gold dress watch). The Strap Tailor has an Epsom which would work but interested in alternatives.
    Steviostraps & Toshi don't seem to have that sort of leather.

    Have you checked your bank balance. He has closed his production line down a few months ago.

    Yes, unfortunately mine never arrived and then he stopped replying to my messages. No refund was ever received despite numerous chasers.

    Lovely. I do like Steveo's straps. And you have reminded me that I really must obtain one of those grey Land Rover straps before he runs out.
