Hi this is my first post, so go easy if I'm late to the party with old info. Here goes.
There are some great strap makers out there (probably quite a few on here) doing some outstanding work. But I wanted to try something on a Seiko diver, just to see if I liked it, without laying out 60 quid. Anyhow, located a seller on eBay claiming to be selling hand made leather straps at a very reasonable price. Paid up and received my order within a couple of days. Know, I've got to say, it's pretty rough and ready. It's not treated or finished on the sides and, compared to some of the more expensive alternatives, the stitching is pretty basic. However, the overall rustic/homemade effect of the finish is really satisfying and, looks so good on the Seiko that at the mo, I'm not planning to upgrade it.
So, overall I thought it was a lot of strap for not a lot of money. Here's the link.
