LordRasta Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Nice watch but the strap sucks. Anyone have any good recommendations while it is away being serviced? A nice leather with double stitch would be nice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Have you tried HKTan? I ordered a Santos 100 strap. He makes them by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice leather with double stitch would be nice.... LordRasta, you may want to check Golfman's SWEET strap in the Weekend Wristies Ahoy thread. Love it. He still hasn't revealed the source, but I think that's a perfect colour for the RG St. Ex. Also, I just saw this on the Risti site. Is this our own J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks to all for the recommendations. What size will I need? 20mm? 22mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks to all for the recommendations. What size will I need? 20mm? 22mm? It is 21mm at the lugs on the rep strap. I replaced the rep strap with a 22mm gen mat alligator in darker brown. I picked it up on eBay - was a gen Montblanc. For me the darker brown alligator is the only way to go. But I am a fiend for genuine alligator straps on my watches. - Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
