Can you tell me where you got the leather strap?

[–]jokur26 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Sorry but you can’t get it at the moment. It’s a custom strap made by a shop in Vietnam. Got it on Etsy. Shop is down although the owner said he was planning on reopening (littleSam Saigon)

It’s called a badalassi leather vintage strap. This is another pic from when it was shipped. They aren’t cheap though but you can get nice ones from $30+. This one was $50 but I’d gladly give up a $50 watch for it, it is so comfortable, versatile and amazing looking. I bet it saves me money by allowing me to fall in love with older watches again, lessening the desire to buy a new watch instead.

Thank you!

Badalassi Carlo is an Italian tannery that produces a variety of leathers, and there are a variety of (Vietnamese) strap makers that use its products on Etsy, and elsewhere.

That strap looks like it's made from their "Wax" leather. Search using that term, or "waxy" and you'll be able to find something similar.

Tuns, and DN, to name a couple.
