Watch Band help please

[cvstos]

Hi Guys,

I know this might technically fall under "watch repair", but I wanted to post in the General Discussion forum so that more of the regular peeps would see this thread and my story.

So I bought this watch (http://www.amazon.co...XC/ref=pd_ybh_1) for my girl for Valentines. I knew the band wasn't the greatest in the world, but liked the face. Anyways, for some reason I thought that there would be a multitude of Michael Kors specific interchangable watch bands in the aftermarket, like there is for Panerai. But there isn't as far I as can see.

Now I do have some experience with adjusting these bands with a watch tool kit I picked up for my own watches, but I don't know a couple of things that I would like your help on, please.

-Subjectively, and in your horological and esteemed aesthetic opinion, what kind of band would you recommend that you think might best suit this watch? I am thinking white leather perhaps, or something other style that I hope you can suggest?

-Where do I source the right band. I've never ordered a replacement aftermarket band before, and don't know how to going about doing so based on the watch's specs. Are there actually Michael Kors specific replacement brands out there that I just haven't been able to find?

Thank you in advance guys (and girls? ) for your help with this. I look forward to reading your replies.

Have a great Friday!

lug width is what? 18mm or 20mm? just pick a leather strap you like in the correct size and fit as normal, you can pick watch straps up anywhere, if you want a white 18mm leather strap just search "white 18mm leather watch strap" on google...unless the band on it now is one piece with the case, then maybe try emailing the company...

id say a white smooth leather strap would look pretty good...
