You guys need to contact David directly and order from him, you can reach him via Instagram.
I’ve shown you this strap before, but this very well deserves a 2nd time, a true beauty from one of the best strap makers out there, this is the “Parker” strap from Thomas Handmade Straps, this time on 127 from XF.

Excited to show these. The 382 has a beautiful Cordes Gustav Ammo so generously loaned out by @Woundup to get an idea for the bronzo. Greenstraps Vintage on the 2533.
I will easily be placing an order with David considering the superior quality of his straps.

Following this sad news, does anyone know if Di Stefano straps will ever open again?

Here's one from a maker that I don't remember being mentioned in this thread before - Emre Leather Works, from Turkey.

I have to say that I am really impressed with this strap - with a 6152/2 build in the works I was looking for a more vintage style strap with a less 'tailored' finish than most of my current collection. The colour is incredible, the leather is of very high quality, has great grain character and is extremely soft. The construction is well executed with nice uniformed stitching and very good finishing. The screw in buckle is of decent quality but I'll be replacing it with a vintage style buckle anyway.
The really nice thing about receiving this strap was the presentation. I pay a lot more money for straps from some makers that arrive in bubble wrap with only a business card! Emre takes the time to make the arrival of his work a little more special with nice packaging, specification tag and a personalized letter.

Love the burgundy strapAnother strap freak here.... I've actually bought watches to match a particular strap. I love the process of having them custom made to my specifications.
I found a new Strap Maker that I just had make these 3 for me - they should be arriving tomorrow so I'm excited to see if the quality is as good as it looks in the pictures:
Soft burgundy calf for my 364:
Padded stingray for my 243:
Nile crocodile belly for my 286:
Oleg just made this one for me, it's distressed to get the grey/black look, but doesn't have to be of course.Hi together,
i hope somebody can help: I search for a very softy black leather strap in 26mm (thick: 4-5mm)
Anyone an idea ?
Many thanks and a nice weekend

Small details...
Polishing the edges of your brushed buckles adds an extra dimension of finish and goes well with Panerai cases that combine brushed and polished surfaces. It only takes 20 minutes with a dremel and some good quality compound.
