Straps for a Kampfschwimmer

[bmeister]

I keep searching for the ultimate vintage 3646 strap for my Kampfschwimmer. Here's what I've tried so far. Please let me know if you have any better suggestions. Thanks!

Distressed leather Nato - not the best for a small wrist, but sure does feel nice on! (credit goes to black_shark for this great pic)

24mm Tan Croc, a little narrow, but had it in the drawer, thought it might work.

24mm Khaki web Maratec Nato - feels nice and light, but loses some of the vintage feel I'm looking for...

Nice ones, especially the NATO!!

I've seen that maliostraps is carrying a nice kampfschwimmer vintage line, you might take a look. They do amazing vintage/distressed straps, just as petergunny. I'd take a look at his site as well

Hmm... I need a good strap for mine as well

Thanks for the tips. I've got a gunny incoming. Also going to check out the vintage line you mentioned. Pics to follow when the gunny arrives.

Glad you found them good, I adore the work of Peter, the only issue with him is the 4-6 weeks waiting time............

Looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Just in from Donerix ... 27mm Ostrich! It's so nice and soft in the hand, really great work. I may oil it to make it a bit darker, otherwise I'm loving it on my Kampfschwimmer. You'll notice no buckle yet...

Does anyone have any suggestions for the right buckle to go with this? I've looked at a few different buckles, Pre-V, the one on the Noob rubber dive strap, etc, but nothing seems to match the look and feel I'm going for. Thanks everyone for your help.

I'd give a try to Piotr over on paneristi, his coin buckles would look nice. However, I really think that this combo needs a simple, but large and straight buckle. Maybe polished as well.

Really nice Donerix strap, it compliments your nice Rad! Wear it in good health mate!
