New Italian made strap from ColaReb

Just received a well made, affordable, Italian vintage style strap from the good folks at ColaReb.

Thick but not too thick.

Nice strap. I really like the color. My OCD won't let me wear brown and black together. I like gray because IMO it doesn't clash with either brown or black. Great choice.

I agree 100%. I am not the best at matching colors but a brown strap with an all black watch doesn't look right to me. Grey seems neutral, also my Sub has a faded bezel that looks like an inky dark blue(doesn't really show in pics but is clear in person) so brown and grey would work for me. I also ordered a navy blue ColaReb strap that I hope will look great.

Colareb makes superb straps, I have two or three of them. Holben's has them.
I would post a pic, but everytime I make a post with a image link it tells me that it needs to approved by a moderator and doesn't show up

I have exactly that same strap, visible in my avatar, and now the same model in blue to switch out on my blue faced OP. Great straps. And, Holbens is great to buy from. Cola Reb also has an eBay store, where I bought a very nice ostrich strap for my wife's watch. It took less than a week to arrive from Italy.

Have been buying these straps from ColaReb for years!
Great bang for your buck, extremely soft off the shelf. They age pretty nicely too!

Here is mine - this is the scratched tan. I also have the suede one. Awesome straps with quality well beyond what they cost.
