Views on the Best Black Sharkskin ???

[b11ocx]

Any thoughts on who sells really good Sharkskin 20mm Black Straps.

Happy to spend good money on one if the quality is right, so thoughts on which is best in your experience.

I've been very happy with Don Ginsler's, and the prices are extremely good as well!

As am I - in fact I have a 22mm on the way for my Bremont - I was so happy with the 20.





Pic ain't great. I also got a bit off as the 2 pieces don't match - I was warned before I bought and I don't mind. Please don't let that come into your consideration - if you want both to match they will (this was a one off kinda of thing, Don's pretty honest about these things).

But yeah overall I'm so happy I ordered another and a brown leather. strap is about 5mm thick at the watch end, 2.5 at the buckle end, and tapers. Can be had with white or black stitching. Google don ginsler, and it's the first one.

I have quite a few of Don's straps and like them a lot. This is a sharkskin with white stitching on my DA36:



He's very good about telling you if there's a problem with a strap and knocking some money off if there is. I've had a few that he has told me are less than perfect and they've all been entirely wearable (in most cases I wouldn't have known there was anything wrong if he hadn't said).

My fave 20mm black shark is the one Sinn do. Not too expensive, just the right level of shiny and a cool blasted buckle.

Neil (Chronomaster) keeps them in stock :-)

Another vote for the Sinn strap. One of my favourite straps and goes well with a deployant.

No clue but sad for all the BBQ'd sharks :(

I've just had a look at the site, and I can't see anything untoward. What am I missing? I only ordered a couple of straps from him last week....

I've had several straps from Don, excellent quality, rapid delivery to UK, low prices. The site is working perfectly for me.

It's all back to normal now (I ordered from him the other day), but he had the site closed for a short while due to the death of his father.
