21mm Leather/Suede strap recommendations for a Shunbun?
Would like a nice 21mm leather to go with my new piece as I like to mix & match a bit. May as well take advantage of those drilled lugs 😀
I tend to go for pale vintage leather styles with neutral stitching, but i'm open to other leathers like Ostrich etc.
I would love to see some recommendations especially if I can get titanium hardware too? (or separate)

Ohh good call, these 3 are tickling my fancy at the moment
or maybe with pale pink stitching?
I've got a nice honey coloured Colareb eco-suede 22mm on my 21mm lugged SM300, fits fine, looks great and feels amazing.
I also wear it on 22mm & 20mm NATO's and it looks ok, tho 22's are a better fit.
As long as the material is flexible then 22's work fine, don't limit yourself 😉
Congrats my friend!
So nice it's a gift from wifey - wish I could say that. But mine is a celebration of time with wifey and family, sitting under cherry trees every spring for hanami. So it's kinda a family vibe despite it being myself seeking out and buying it.

I'm wearing mine on a white epsom leather band right now, but love it on the bracelet as well. BTW, get a pair of watch springbar tweezers, taking my 21mm bars out to change bands partially bent the one of the bars. Pinching the bar at same time on both sides looks way safer to me so will be ordering a good quality one.
Any - here is how it looks on white leather:
BTW - I'm a white leather guy - 2 white leather sofas in my living room and more than a few white watch bands for my other watches 😉

Many thanks, the spring blossom is such a beautiful time in nature. Our street is also lined with them similar to the photos in your NWA post.
I'm still a bit she'll shocked that she got it for me, although I did never shut up about it🤣 The plan is a trip to Japan in 2025, when the Mrs will also have big birthday too. So I better get saving the pennies.
I think it helped tat she also thinks it's the most beautiful watch she's ever seen. 🌸💗
Custom Tobacco Ostrich Leg Strap would look good.
Enjoy that watch!
Cheers!

I have 4 straps from him and love them all. It does take 6 weeks to get it. He's busy but worth it!

Do It Do It Do It 😍
If you want to create some more contrast and make the dial pop even more, something like our Two-Stitch Coal works great on that watch:
If you want Suede, our Two-Stitch Beige Reversed could be a great choice for you 😄 We have some other suede leathers that are not listed on the website (like this pink one for the MoonSwatch), if you are interested, shoot me a message.
ohhh thats nice 😀
what is it , explain yourself 😉
