RG St. Exupery

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....

Have you tried HKTan? I ordered a Santos 100 strap.

He makes them by hand.

I suggest a Watch Boys Honey or Brown Gator

Watch Boys IWC Gator

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

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

Rep strap sucks but after lots of searching I've found the following brown buffalo strap, I'll post pics when it arrives:

I just got my brown buffalo in, its very dark brown but it makes the watch look and feel amazing. It's now a watch I love.
