I just bought a new strap for my watches and I ask my self how many of you go crasy for straps?
Let me know in the comment which is your favourite with a picture!!
My favorite after market strap would be either my Aaron Bespoke alligator strap, or my Artem sailcloth strap.
Love your choices, I do own several alligator straps, but none sailcloth ones I would like to try one, can you reccomend me a couple of brands that are not too expensive?

The only sailcloth strap that I've had any experience with is the Artem. Although not inexpensive compared to other sailcloth options, I feel it is well worth the money, as it is very high quality. From my understanding, most lesser sailcloth straps tend to fray and wear quickly, making them look really crappy really quickly. Based on that, I would recommend sticking with Artem if you're looking for something that will look good for a long time. The quality of the Artem sailcloth has been compared to those from Blancpain, which are apparently the "best".
The one issue that I have with mine is the size. I have it set to the shortest possible size, and it's still a touch too large for my 17cm (6.75") wrist. Their web site claims its suitable for wrists from 6.3" to 7.5", but I question that.
Last time this question was asked, I was surprised to learn that I had something like 37. I've gained 5 or 6 since then from NotAWatchSnob😮
I have no favorites. I love all my children equally. Well, I don't really like the black ones, but sometimes they are necessary. Currently this one is preferred though.
watch straps are like clothes so you change them often and have a good variety of colors and styles to choose from. Change a strap and people thing you got a new watch.
I think my problem is that I think I like buying straps more than wearing them. I own dozens of straps, many of them unfortunately quite expensive, but I always end up back on the bracelets.
Erika's Originals are the only straps that I use often, I have 6 or 7 of them in different colors and sizes and they are by far the most comfortable straps I've ever used.
My fav are https://hiroshigejapan.com and https://www.jean-rousseau.com/us/

Custom straps from Leatherbound.ink
My nephew is the leatherman who made my straps. I have a Navy Shark Skin on order.
I have several special straps. Ostrich leg, kangaroo and a Cordovan Shinki leather.
I love straps! Lol
Cheers!
I have about 10 leather straps, but also a handful of natos that I'm not in the mood to count.
It's an easy way for me to change the look of a watch without spending a lot of money or buying new watches.
