Leather/Rubber strap for 41mm Tag Heuer Chrono?

[mindbridge]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of how I can get my hands on rubber/leather strap instead of a SS bracelet? I have small wrists (~6in) and I prefer the look of rubber/leather strap.

I contacted Angus from PureTimeWatches and he offers a rubber strap for +$20 while Tony from Asian7750 tells me that I would have to fork out another $190 for a rubber strap. Angus has the Tag listed for $238, which would soon become $258, while Tony offers the Tag at $198.

The links are below:

Would it be better to order straps from someplace else? If so, where can I order them?

I've been researching this watch for a couple days now, and I can't help but drool.


Thanks RWI!

Both watches are the same.
- Asian has very good prices for TAG but they have not cheap straps.
- Puretime has not cheaper prices but they offer good price for the extra strap

Both are very good dealers.
You could get a strap in other dealer but the total amount with transports will be more expensive for you

Therefore, it is up to you
I would buy Puretime with the two straps

Good choice and luck !!

Many people, when living with a watch for years, buy aftermarket straps. Please consider this, too.

You could buy the racing edition here http://asian7750.com/cn/product_show.asp?big_pid=&ps_id=92&P_id=309&ti=

Same watch I believe just a slight variation on the colour which I actually think looks nicer

OK rob but it is a taste question

Thanks all, for the replies. I've sent Doris from PureTimeWatches requesting a photo of the strap they offer there. I'm currently leaning to PTWatches.

Apparently Tony can sell me the leather strap + clasp for $48 that's on the watch below separately.

Can anybody testify to the quality of the said leather strap?
