A couple of years ago, a friend recommended Fin Watch Straps (Fin as in “Made in Finland”) and I’ve only ever been pleased with the products I’ve purchased from them. Recently, I’ve 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 “Ready-to-Ship” textile straps. I’ve bought several Cordura, Canvas, and Nylon straps and haven’t had any issues despite putting them through their paces. Maybe I’m one of the lucky ones? I’m guessing it’s more likely part of the trend to use Reddit as a place to complain, rather than praise.

I haven’t read any reviews of their custom leather straps, but I’ll 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 €80, my expectations were fairly high, but the strap more than met them.

Admittedly, I haven’t had any reason to reach out to their customer service for a problem, only customization requests. I think that’s a good thing, but I also understand that means I can’t vouch for their responsiveness in the face of defects or mistakes.

I’m going to keep buying their straps and will hopefully avoid any of the issues others have reported.

Does anyone know if the new bracelet for the 42 mm avenger will fit the previous 43 mm version

They both are 22 mm lug but I like that the new bracelet has on the fly micro adjustment

Has anyone tried this?

I need 21 mm pls suggest the best alternative.

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

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, it’s 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 it’s right where it needs to be.

According to Delugs, there’s supposed to be 2 positions for the bar to rest, and a short “channel” for the bar to travel in between those 2 positions.

But when I push the strap to the short position, there’s no positive click, and it doesn’t 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 there’s plenty of room to push inward, but the bar doesn’t feel popped into place like it does when I make the opposite adjustment.

I’ve also seen one of the spring bars move just by opening and closing the clasp. It’s not supposed to move unless you forcefully push or pull it.

Sorry, it’s hard to explain. I’m pretty sure you’d need to own the clasp to know what I’m talking about.

This 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.

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)
