Andi Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Hi ! I'm planning to buy a rep 3717, but I'm not a fan of leather straps... I was thinking about a Kevlar one, and I've also read a similar thread, but the fact is that I'd prefer to buy the strap in Europe (no custom problems, faster shipping, etc). First of all... Do you know the size of the original strap ? Is that a 21/19 mm ? Can you suggest a forum member / online shop / auction seller based in Europe who sells kevlar/canvas/rupper straps ? Thank you ! :-) PS: I can also consider to buy a strap with a "non replica", unbranded buckle Edited September 15, 2008 by Andi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Welcome aboard m8....for buying a strap you don't have to worry about customs imo. Maybe better to do some research before you buy the watch, check out the collectors and the straps they offer with their 3717's....pm or mail Eurotimez, he can ship in the EU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andi Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thank you for your kind reply ! I've done some research for the 3717, and I think I've found the seller/version that suits me the most. I live in Italy, and - believe me - customs are ALWAYS in issue if you buy something outside Europe... I've experienced this with spare parts for my car and other products I've bought in the past... Even when the value is low, and it's shipped by UPS/DHL/FEDEX, something goes wrong. That's the reason why I'd prefer to buy the strap from EU or UK...

blade007 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 you could ask PT (ptswiss.com) to source one for you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
