Usually when the opportunity presents itself you have to pull the trigger. I like to make stories up to justify the purchases but inevitably it’s just the timing & having the extra cash 💵 on hand-the most important factor! I do have to say tho, before the purchase the itch has been there for a while & the actual purchase is just scratch that ultimately follows.
Note:re-visited the FinWatchstrap site after I posted my comment & their offerings have expanded quite a bit. Their prices have increased also since I made a purchase years ago. The prices for their sailcloth straps are pretty reasonable though. May try one next time.
I’ve had one of my watches on an artem strap for a while. One year into ownership it started to crack at the tail end of the strap. Quite disconcerting considering the cost. I wrote them & after a bit of a back & forth they replaced it. Still enjoy them & consider them a premium strap. Also have a FinWatchstrap, which I really enjoy. It ages beautifully.
Strongly suggest FinWatchstraps
Was lucky to have purchased one back in 2019 when I first learned they were stopping production it’s def in my top 3 in daily rotation
It certainly is a strap monster. Right now it’s on a deep burgundy horween strap (not pictured) def one of my better purchases
This is what started it for me when I was about 15. My grandfather gave me his old Lanco chronograph after he purchased a new Seiko chrono. Still have it, still wear it. Runs well with great patina & memories.
