[Luigipetrone]

anyone have a preferred dealer to buy straps from? I know there's a list on this site but looking for some personal insight...

I would give lucy a shot. I have heard that she can find oddities as well. Good luck.

I just bought some from Tootall Straps and they are super quality. Really well made straps. Also, oracle202 makes great straps as well. And Migliore makes a great strap too; probably the softest strap I have ever had on one of my watches.

For a fine custom handmade strap, Joe at SNPR straps. I have 4 and I love them all. Either buy something he has made
or be prepared to wait...he has a long line of repeat customers for good reason.
IMHO, one of the best values is the Kain Heritage...awesome quality and great price.
Unusual stuff like bunds, nylon, Zulu's, Nato, military style and awesome bracelets at Strapcode.
Uwe at Timebandit for killer Ammo straps...the real thing and good prices, right here on our forum.

Best straps I own are made by Di Stefano Straps. Superb quality. They make anything from tough Ammo straps to sophisticated gator straps. Great range.

Best modestly priced straps I've owned are made by BJ Straps.

I'm currently awaiting delivery of a few straps from Micah at Vintager Straps and thus far it is the best customer service experience I've had with aftermarket strap makers.

I received yesterday a couple of new straps from Bakeka, which is a td here, and all I can say is they're superb. Price is good and the guy is a pleasure to deal with, fast and kind.
I have only this pic for the moment (372 is on rep strap):

everyone has their preferred strap makers, for me Ted Su makes one of the best straps around. you should google for it. it's definitely up there with the rest like Di Stefano etc.

...and Peter Gunny, Gunny Straps. Excellent straps and his pre-worn looking stuff is amazing.

I personally like Bronzy. Bought a few off him.
In Montreal, there's combat-straps.com. They are all custom make and I mean custom (stitch style, colour, etc). A bit $ but what they make is unbelievable!!

If comfort is important….my most comfortable strap, an SNPR "whisky"

I figure the people posting here are pretty passionate about straps…I've bookmarked every strap maker mentioned in this thread. It's gonna cost me a fortune.

To the OP…Ales' thread " the combo you've chosen today" is a great inspiration, and usually he'll bust your butt for not telling the watch model and strap maker.

Sorry about the hairy old arms….

Heads up to people reading this thread. I looked at some of the strap makers above and while doing some research, it looks like BJ straps has gone MIA, lots of complaints of undelivered purchases and pp claims on other forums. His wares look beautiful, but be wary before placing any orders.

Kostas straps are awesome and he's a very nice guy

Di Stefano straps are still my favorite. Simona and Steve are a pleasure to deal with. A bit expensive but top quality that lasts and lasts. I've got a black Tri Fold incoming for my 389. I'm so excited!
