I quite like this thread. Every watch I own has a bracelet fitted because I have always taken the view that they are the perfect match, are much stronger and have longevity built into them.
I have recently started to look at Patek Philippes and nearly every one looks much better with a strap fitted. Most of my stuff is Rolex and the one thing I hate about Rolex is that most of them are a bit loud. My Daytona in particular with PCLs just attracts attention.
When I get back to the UK, I may well buy up a couple of good leather straps because the ones in this thread look brilliant.
A very versatile strap - curved ended shark skin with deployant, made by Strap Works.
Bought originally for this Seiko Presage:
... but working equally as well on a Steinhart OVR:

Yup.. SHARK SKIN!
I trawled through my old emails there... and here's what Kerr Gibson said at the time I was ordering:
... and here are the samples I was sent over email to choose from:That particular strap was based off a Hirsch curved lug strap, they have a great insert to curve the straps with, unfortunately their Leather quality is very poor not much better than cheap Chinese rubbish.
I take their straps and rebuild them using premium leather, currently I only have a black shark hide or brown crocodile in stock that would be suitable for this build, the price would be around £65 for the shark or £105 for the crocodile, I would recommend the Shark.
Flipping (ha) hell! V cool indeed, though I’d like to think the shark was already deed. Also, surprised he thinks Hirsch leather is cheap crap. I have my Speedy on a heritage and would never have thought that. Maybe it’s all relative.Yup.. SHARK SKIN!

I don't think I have posted this perfect match up in there thread yet... both pick each other up perfectly! The Radio Room will be looking great when the summer gets to us.
That's class
