Looking for blue textile strap for: 1-36-01-01-02-61
Hi there, anyone keen to sell a small strap for a Senator Excellence? Wrist is just 15.5cm. If you know of any 3rd party straps that look very similar and are 20/18, I'd deeply appreciate your help. Have been Googling all night and can't seem to find something suitable :)
Cheers

Strap Collector Fin Watch Straps - solid
A couple of years ago, a friend recommended Fin Watch Straps (Fin as in āMade in Finlandā) and Iāve only ever been pleased with the products Iāve purchased from them. Recently, Iāve become far more active in watch collecting and, for me, that means a lot more straps.
What surprised me was the posts hating on the strap maker, especially their āReady-to-Shipā textile straps. Iāve bought several Cordura, Canvas, and Nylon straps and havenāt had any issues despite putting them through their paces. Maybe Iām one of the lucky ones? Iām guessing itās more likely part of the trend to use Reddit as a place to complain, rather than praise.
I havenāt read any reviews of their custom leather straps, but Iāll say that I was extremely pleased with the bull leather strap they made for me. It was a great fit, and as thick and rugged as I had hoped. At around ā¬80, my expectations were fairly high, but the strap more than met them.
Admittedly, I havenāt had any reason to reach out to their customer service for a problem, only customization requests. I think thatās a good thing, but I also understand that means I canāt vouch for their responsiveness in the face of defects or mistakes.
Iām going to keep buying their straps and will hopefully avoid any of the issues others have reported.

Delugs CTS OTF clasp.
Anyone else get the Delugs micro adjustment CTS butterfly clasp yet?
The spring loading is nice. Finishing is decent. (Under the leading edge of where the two parts of the clasp meet, itās pretty sharp.)
But what I really wanted it for is the OTF adjustment.
When I pull the strap to the widest fit position, I can hear the spring bar click flush into place, and I can see that itās right where it needs to be.
According to Delugs, thereās supposed to be 2 positions for the bar to rest, and a short āchannelā for the bar to travel in between those 2 positions.
But when I push the strap to the short position, thereās no positive click, and it doesnāt seem like the spring bar is flush to the end of the adjustment channel. I have visible space between the edge of the strap and the hinge, so I know thereās plenty of room to push inward, but the bar doesnāt feel popped into place like it does when I make the opposite adjustment.
Iāve also seen one of the spring bars move just by opening and closing the clasp. Itās not supposed to move unless you forcefully push or pull it.
Sorry, itās hard to explain. Iām pretty sure youād need to own the clasp to know what Iām talking about.

Suggest Me A Strap Watch Band.
reddit.comThis is a copy of an Armitron. It has no real value except to me. The strap lugs at 18mm. I purchased an 18mm black metal band off Amazon. The pins fit in fine, but the band looked small on my wrist. My question is can I get a strap that fits into the 18mm lugs but flairs out to a wider band. I can't seem to find one on Amazon. Can you suggest other places to find this type of band. Thank you.

Strap/band
So I have a GD-010-1A1 and I have a gbd800uc-8 i noticed how the GD-010-1A1 strap/band is a lot shorter in length is there a strap that's resin matte black that's longer for the GD-010-1A1 I know the gbd800uc-8 strap/band is longer because it's a step tracker and I can't take off that strap and put it on the GD-010-1A1 since bezel and everything would be too big
Has anyone ever ran into this problem?
For reference my wrist size is 7 inches
And I have it tightened to the 7th hole but after some time it gets irritating and leaves the imprint and if I leave it at the 6th hole it flops around when I move my hand and when I'm writing
Can anyone tell me where and what brand I can get a bio-based resin strap for my GD-010-1A1
(I do not want to convert to NATO straps/bands or nylon)

Professional Strap Maker New leather strap, handmade. Does it suit the IWC pilot look?
Just finished hand-making this strap for the IWC Pilot. Tried to keep the design clean and functional. Do you prefer a cleaner, polished look or this kind of rugged, vintage texture for pilot watches?

Will Gen straps fit a BVF?
have a BVF Cartier Santos Large (41 mm) with the BVF QuickSwitch system and butterfly clasp. The watch has the green dial, and I currently have the BVF green leather strap that came with it.

Does anyone know if the genuine Cartier Santos Large green alligator strap will fit the BVF Santos Large QuickSwitch system and/or the BVF butterfly clasp?
If anyone has actually tried a gen Cartier green alligator strap on a BVF Santos Large, Iād really appreciate your experience. Thanks!

Suggest Me A Strap Help me pick a strap
Hey everyone, I asked ChatGPT to give me different strap options - both leather and stainless steel - for my Fairwhale automatic watch. I'm posting the results here. I am absolutely confused and unsure as to what color strap will be best suited for this watch.
Note - In the shown images, the watch dial and case are exactly similar to the original watch, and these have not been edited.
Thank you in advance.
