Straps....

Sorry for this post but need feedback. Can the community recommend a site for 19mm leather strap for my Grand Seiko black face quartz. Not looking for a formal leather strap. Something casual to change it up. Thank you in advance..

Tuns is a big favorite of the community. https://www.etsy.com/shop/TunsLeather

Exquisite leather selection, flawless handmade saddle stitching, bespoke artisan straps, any width, length, and taper you want. I ordered several straps from Tuns and I can't resist adding more to the collection whenever they go on sale. 😊

Plus, you get the satisfaction of supporting an independent artisan instead of self-proclaimed luxury strap manufacturers with exorbitant markups to pay for marketing and buy watch influencers on YouTube and Instagram... 😉

Harpy Leather is another one I've seen recommended with similar praises but I don't have first-hand experience. Maybe some of their design will appeal more to you.

They have a website and a YouTube channel showing their handmade crafts which is pretty cool!

I prefer Delugs. You can have custom made straps, and I’ve really enjoyed them.

Crown and Buckle has 19mm I believe.

And tbh, a 20mm straps will fit, might need some finagling and/or trimming but it'll work.

Even easier with curved spring bars.

Personally I feel, manufacturers who go for odd (or oddly small) lug widths (Bulova, Citizen, GS, Tudor, Timex) are as nefarious as those who don't buddy tab tape.

IFYKYK 😂.
