Suede straps/bands

[maxmood 0]

Where is the best place to find those high-grade attainable (especially for reps) suede straps? NATOs or bands.. 

Please post your recommendations and experience (if any)..

 

Thanks

I've used Nero (listed on this site as a TD in the strap section) a couple times and been very happy with the results.

Panatime (haven't used myself) I've seen recommended and I'm sure I've seen WatchObsession mentioned a few times

I've only ever had NATO straps from these guys (which are great) but plan on getting more straps from them:

The reviews are great.

Hodinkee are very well known and reputable.  I haven't tried them for anything though as they are US but I am sure other members on here will have done.

Hmm missed this thread. Nothing to contribute but I'm also a sueded strap fan so .... subbed! The last strap I got was a gen Nomos. In fact, all my sueded straps were for/from Nomos  Had one made by Aaron I believe for the Luminor.

Try cheapestnatostraps.com, I’ve a few from them. Cheap and cheerful; maybe not a $100 strap quality but at the price you can buy 5 and ditch them after 6 months.

I bought these from Cheapest Nato straps a couple of weeks ago and they are super comfy!

I generally use eBay for anything like this with quite a lot of success and cheap/good prices
