beanyboy Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I finally plunked down some cash and purchased the Franck Muller Conquistidor with the Asian valjoux movement, a watch I'd had my eye on for nearly one year. The model I bought from Ms. King will come with what looks like a decent rubber strap, but I'd like to have a genuine crocodile strap, too, for events that require a more formal, dressier strap. I've combed through the posts here, have tried eBay, Google, etc. trying to find a vendor selling quality replacements. No luck. Anybody have any information or ideas? I am willing to have a custom strap made, but it's got to be significantly less expensive than a real FM AD replacement, which I was quoted as costing a ridiculous $525. Thanks in advance for any sage advice. Beany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanyboy Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks. I never really thought about the band. But, as you all likely know, it's not easy finding 28mm genuine crocodile watch straps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 It is actually very easy to find gen crocodile straps .. it just costs money. The strap may cost you as much or more than the watch did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
