If there's an obsession of mine that matches that of watches, it's straps. I recently found this site in Finland that gets it right: finwatchstraps.com Several times, I've been disappointed by straps that look "vintage" in the ads end up feeling not so much in reality. These have a soft hand and nuanced colors, and they customize for things such as my fat wrist. Not cheap, but a good product with quick delivery, and stellar customer service by Viktoria.
