I need a new strap for one of my watches...

The other day somebody posted a picture of a watch (I've spent the last 30 mins looking for the pic frown ) with the sort of strap im after.

The strap was black leather with large circular holes through it.

Any ideas where I should be looking gentlemen?

TIA

The Sinn 556 has this strap - the Chronomaster Website may be able to help out.

That is a "rally" strap.

Just to say that I bought the black leather "rally" racing watch strap from this company for my Monaco and it is excellent. I was really pleased with the price and quality from this company. Sets the Monaco off perfectly in my opinion. Very quick delivery also.

Another bow to watchbandcentre.com

Ordered from Germany on Sunday, and arrived this morning.

I'm really impressed with the quaility, and it sets the watch off perfectly (as I thought it would given the watch design)

Jules, it's too small by about 2mm. This isn't safe to wear, as you wear it the play of the strap between the lugs will agitate the spring bar out of it's recess. You need to measure the width between the lugs and order the exact fit.
Apart from that, it's very nice....

Agreed.

I was in a rush the other day, and couldn't seem to find a 22mm readily available...so I measured the strap it came with which was 20mm, and ordered that one.

Unfortunately I totaly ignored the fact it had locating buckles rolleyes

TBH, I think its wide enough...If it starts to bent the pins I will put the strap on one of my 20mm watches and buy a 22mm strap. It was only 30 euro so no great loss either way wink
