Good affordable watch straps?

Aldebaran

I own the Orient Bambino Ver2 i this champagne color and dark blue/purple hands. Stunning watch for its price. The brown leather strap is rather "cheap" for it.

Anyone have any good recommendations on where to buy not so expensive but good quality straps?

I'm interested in a dark blue/purple suede to match with the hands of the watch or maybe a Milanese (chainmail) strap. The latter can be more expensive, I'm ready for that :)

Straps for this watch are 21mm wide and all adivice you have is very welcome...

Tnx :)

The Alcantara looks just right for this. Too bad its only 20mm :((

Far as metal goes, IMO, Forstner makes a very good alternative metal option. You get what you pay for, and it isn't cheap per se, but the quality and what you get for your money is spot on. 👌🏻

Here is an extensive comparison of numerous stores providing 21mm watch straps, with details such as price range and materials used (leather, rubber, metal, etc.).

My suggestion for a suede would be Esprit company from France, because they have straps in 21mm.
