So after asking thinking about low budget options I pulled the trigger on a Cordes Gustav Ammo strap, Cordes is a true pleasure to deal with. His fast communication and guidance (for a first timer!) was much appreciated. A really nice guy who talked through the process and provided really interesting images of the process of my strap being made along the way. I'm super happy with the results - its super soft and comfortable and smells great!! I also have a black calf leather on the way from Martu. Thanks for all the help along the way - especially to donkacper

Any experience with kyros Straps? Worth the price? Or is bosphurus or another Maker best bet in the 100 - 200 Euro class ?

Kyros is not bad, maybe a little overpriced. I only bought their vintage straps for 160, they also have that historical collection for 200 but that is IMO too high.
Bosphorus is good, but a little different style and not my favorite, also their straps are too expensive at the moment especially with current USD/EUR exchange rate.
You can get plenty of beautiful straps for around 120 - 140 eur, Xamlam is a good example, Attirail also, Oleg Stepenko is also great in that price range. Thomas Leather is also perfect quality but a little more expensive.

Yes, plenty, all depends on how much you want to pay.
When it comes to canvas, from my experience Bosphorus and Xamlam are very good.
Dr. Phill is also good and much cheaper.

Hey guys,hope that make a question here about strap option won’t be disappointing for anyone…
Would like to ask,what could be a nice rubber strap for 24 and 26 lug size?
Would love something really quality and with a sort of vintage feeling…
Bonetto looks good but not easy to find in 24 with a good length (something around 140/85).
Let me know if you have any suggestions and maybe pics to share :)

Oh I love this color, anything cognac like is the way to go. I have a black dial Panerai as well, I wonder if they have straps with black stitching on this model..
