Sourcing ribbon watch straps

theoldadage · Apr 16, 2009

Hey guys,

I am looking to tone down a new ML automatic with some colourful ribbon straps. I feel ashamed but I can't help admitting that I was inspired by some of the looks on the RLP website...

Could anybody recommend a good source? Any help would be much appreciated.

J. Press. Picked up an interesting Cream-Burgundy-Cream striped one today.

J.Crew, but I'm not a fan of their accessories.

Brooks Brothers bands are very nice, with the self keeper, nicer buckle, metal eyelets, et cetera; but are too narrow for many watches.

Try O'Connell's in Buffalo. They have a website. With metal gromets or without. I picked one up today.

I noticed them on the counter during a recent visit to BB. I've never worn them, but they do have very nice color combinations available.

+1 on both J. Press and Smart Turnout. The one I got at J. Press in Cambridge recently is actually made by Smart Turnout.

These are just as good, if not better, than the other options, provided your skin can tolerate nickel-plated buckles. I can't.

^ I have the ones from centralwatch.com and love them. Haven't problems w/ the buckles, though I once had wire-rimmed glasses that totally ate away at my skin, and vice versa.

The Brooks ones look really well-made, but the colors/patterns are ugly.

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
