Leather straps

[Bluedevil]

How adventurous are you guys when it comes to leather straps for your watches?

Black?
Brown?
Black with brown stitching?

Anyone with flamboyant taste? Let's share?

That's a set of OEM Panerai straps I bought for my Pam 88 last year ... Pretty comfortable and well-built IMHO

Think the major ADs, JW watch, etc. carry them; Prices and quality of straps from these sources vary. Most of the times, I either go OEM or order German-made pieces from Sirtoli ...

Sirtoli as in from the website? Looks v expensive lei.

My gf goes to normal watch shops for straps for her chopard, can really get a lot of pattern at bargain prices, even patent, pink leather etc.

Got a silver strap from this cool watch shop. Only 18 bucks for genuine letter. And they have a huge collection!

Breathes new life into my dowdy and boring frederique constant watch.
