leather strap options for the santos 35mm

[b21222]

Hi,

I've been searching for a leather strap for the Cartier Santos 35mm.
Other than gen straps the only ones I could find were a seller on Aliexpress, linked on another post about the same.

It seems that because of the Quickswitch system used on the Santos there are no other straps available for it. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
On some posts members have suggested going bespoke and sending the quickswitch links to someone who makes the straps, such as Martu leather or ZicZac.

I'm looking to get a blue alligator strap, like the one that comes with the Santos Dupont.
Is bespoke my only option?

It would be great if anyone who has managed to source straps for the Santos either bespoke or otherwise, give some advice and/or post photos of their straps.

Thanks.

Hi yes the V6F leather strap of 35mm is not good! Are there high-quality alternatives? Otherwise I will buy the gen, Strap for EUR 255,-!
The Watch is fine

Unfortunately there are not any options that you can find. Other than genuine, your best bet is to go bespoke.
