Check these straps out guys from a seller on eBay. I've ordered 2 of these at these prices as quality looks excellent for what they are selling for. The guy is from Thailand claiming all hand made and probably why they are so cheap is their cost of living and labour costs are ultra low compared to European countries and similar. I've provided a link and a few pictures on one of the straps I purchased.

Thanks for that I'll have to see about extra long options. Everything looks nice and affordable too though.

I'll post my thoughts and picks on this thread when the straps arrive I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist so I'll let you know on the fit too whether they are short average or plenty left for a bigger wrist than mine.

I've been getting my custom made straps from Chile. They are awesome and cost about $35-$40. She also sells on Ebay. If anyone is interested PM me for the webite link. She will custom make any size. I ordered my last strap custom made and it was delivered to me in 16 days. (CONUS) Here is the link, www.martuleather.com

Here's a shot of the other similar strap I purchased at the same time but with dark accents around the edges which really makes it stand out. Hope these feel and look as good on the wrist as much as they do in the listing photos.

I like this one. I prefer dark brown straps my self. This one I'd be interested in, especially for the right price. Does he custom make these to fit a larger wrist? Or are they as is?

Did you provide the labeled Panerai buckle or does the seller sell labeled buckles?

I would imagine that any of the sellers that lain to make the straps hand made and hand stitched would gladly accommodate a custom made strap to suit your wrist if you emailed them. After all its the more business to them.

The straps are sold without buckles, I mean for $23 shipped worldwide what are you expecting lol? Just swap one of your buckles from one of your Rep straps. I've ordered a custom gunny canvas a while ago. The express and insured shipping alone cost more than this strap including shipping.

What strap is that exactly?
I cannot seem to find this strap on the website.
Really like the look it gives your 250!

I think his stock updates on a regular basis so any sold strap is removed and any new strap is added. I do agree the strap looks quite lovely. :)

Guy's name is Phil if I recall and the straps are thick and soft. He'll post more when he has more stock I got one from him 1-2 years ago there is another thread about this, an older thread.

Maybe the mods can merge the thread:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/found-a-great-strap-on-ebay.263502/

I would suggest getting one that looks like a "gunnystrap" and permanent pen writing the "76" yourself, LOL, so you can have a "rep" strap to go with your "rep" PAM!

Only caveat is that mine came in smelling strongly of some chemical perhaps used to dye it, a day or two out in the sun helped.
