Leather Strap for watch

[Kusje]

Hi folks,

 

I have a watch that was given to me as a present and over the years, the leather strap sort of went kapoot.... I called the distributing agent and was quoted 100+ for a replacement strap. I was wondering if there are other places that can help me replace the strap at a lower cost (obviously it wouldn't be an "original" strap but I can make do without it.)

 

Thanks all.

I think any watch shop will have replacement straps. The only thing is whether you like the choices and prices. I am looking for replacement strap as well. My Seiko leather strap fell apart in 1 year. Very lauya.

100+ is not ex for the real thing. If you get those replica type it will go kapoot even faster. That's the thing with leather strap watches, you have to change the strap more frequent unlike a metal bracelet watch.

guess it has to depend what watch is that. no point if end of the day the leather strip cost more then the value of the watch . But then again, if it is sentimental value, then it is priceless

Thanks. It is right next to my school so I'll walk over and take a look with the watch tomorrow.

I know. But the cost is closer towards 200$ and I'm loath to spend that sort of money on a watch at the moment.

How do you ascertain if a material is good? Will probably head down tomorrow so I can find out.

Those leather strap which they sell is quite good quality, cos it's comfortable and after wearing it for a long time, the leather doesn't have that smelly smell.

Haha. Thanks for the offer but not very nice to accept a discount from you since I barely know you. I'll probably head over there to check things out later since my mom works at TPY central. (I can pick her up!) Can you PM me the address?
