Just me or are 26mm straps hard to find?

[crash_c]

Hi all,

I'm loving my Panerai 557 and swapping between the leather and rubber straps that it came with, as well as a cheapie two piece NATO in olive drab I bought.

Now I'm looking to purchase a camo two piece and in the context of this search I'm realizing that very very folks make anything in 26mm. And moreover, those that do charge ridiculous prices.

Are you guys encountering the same? Thoughts?

You don't feel like those price points are astronomical for leather and/or nylon? It kills me!!!!! :)

There is a difference between custom hand-made straps built to order after consultation and a machine-stitched strap pulled out of a drawer.

you get what you pay for....I think the quality of his straps is awesome. His customer service is second to none, imho.

I've bought from toshi also, his straps are ok as well

maybe try gently used to see what you like?

Cheaper than oem that's for sure....good luck in your quest

Try Toshi or Heroic18 (neither in the US, but ship everywhere)

922leather is the answer

Distefano Firenze for me, all the time, superb selection, best quality and service

I have to agree with the other posters here. Just ordered a strap from Micah and to say his customer service is good is an understatement.

We had several email exchanges a few weeks ago, you can instant message him through his website if he is in the shop (I got a response in under 30 sec), and will customize any part of the strap to your specifications.

I also like that I am supporting a small business. I'll pay the extra for all of the above.
