houndoggie 58 Posted October 6, 2011 So, I have this very nice B et M Riviera: I love the watch as it is different than any watch I own, but I want to get another strap for it. Because of the non traditional lugs, this is difficult, and so far too expensive. I first inquired at APB straps in France. They wanted 400 Euro to make a custom black gator strap.. they also wanted me to send them the rubber strap off the watch to use as a guide. Too much money and I am not going to risk losing the only strap that fits the watch. I then inquired at B et M USA and they told me that that watch was only available on rubber or bracelet, and the cost of the bracelet is $650. (I paid $1300 for the watch). I had also ordered a cheapy rep Riviera on bracelet. The bracelet was ho hum so I sold it on. I really want a black gator strap made for the watch and the fabrication would definitely require the rubber strap to be used as a template, so I need someone in the USA. Any thoughts.
