Strap suggestions needed!
Hey guys.
Above you can see my latest addition to my collection of vintage watches I brought back to life as a hobbyist.
It has a beautiful hand wound zenith 2522 caliber inside and started running great after service.
As it has a lug width of 19mm I didn’t have any fitting straps to put on and that’s where you come in. Any Suggestions about what would fit well into that dressy style of Watch? I’d personally prefer leather for it but I’m open to all suggestions 😊👌🏼

We got so little time on this world, only thing you can do is put it on your wrist.

Yup. Brown leather. I'd say dark brown. Colareb or horween or something subtle and classy. 😎💯
That may look nice with a gator strap, or nice brown suede-type leather.
I’ve bought from BroColors on Etsy, very customizable without breaking the bank.
Aurelian just shared this strap maker from Vietnam with an excellent selection custom made to order: https://chiii.vn/ Get your 19mm and your funky groove on.

What Kyle @GotTheTime said is spot on.
I was going to say black gator or black suede but I like his brown suede idea too.
Second the motion of everyone above. You can't go wrong with leather.
Akin to @TheSharperTheBetter's suggestion, I'd also recommend Leather Craft Manila, as they too handcraft excellent custom made leather straps. Check them out on IG: https://www.instagram.com/leathercraftmanila/
