Leather strap for Cartier Santos 100 Mid Size ladies

[Darthmemnoch]

I need to buy an aftermarket band for my wife's mid sized Cartier santos 100. Anyone can recommend a good place that I can find one?

I just checked with HK Tan and he doesn't make them in this size. He asked me to send him the rep strap so that he can take measurements but I need to keep my rep strap so that my wife can wear her watch so it's a no go. Anyone can share their sources?

 

[Darthmemnoch]

Anyone with ideas please?

I can't walk in and buy one right

Okay... HK Tan responded to say that he doesnt have the right lug size...

"I don’t the right lug size.
Can you send me the rep strap that came with the watch & I can build an alligator strap using the lug ends?"

I can't send him my wife's current strap else she will have nothing to use the watch with... Can anyone provide me with this information so that I can pass it onward to him?

take a look on ebay I've seen straps for the Santos (not like for the Ballon Bleu, something I am still looking for)

Ah... i've seen them... now I have a new issue. I tried removing the straps to take measurements for HKTan and found that one of the lug screws cannot be screwed out. I think the screw may have been dethreaded.

I have 2 issues. How can I remove the lugs? And where can I get replacement lug screws?

You actually can't just remove them by unscrewing. The reps and even the gens use glue stop. I had to take it to a watchsmith to get them out

 

[Darthmemnoch]

I managed to get it out using a pin + screwdriver. Scratched the lugs in the process... Now I need to buy some cape cod

I made this for my mothers Santos mid Size.You can mail Jacobo at jrartesania.com and he can make you one.

Oooooh nice... Can you advise how much it cost? I am getting one made by HK tan in brown crocodile... I can definately consider another one in another colour (girls like to accessorise with colours)...

So eventually you made the measurements by yourself and send the data to hktan?

How about the buckle? Are you planning to install by yourself after the strap comes?
