I'm looking for some pictures and suggestions for aftermarket straps for the sub and GMT-II. In particular, I would like a nice, preferably kevlar strap with a deployment clasp, vs a traditional buckle. Any pictures or suggestions would be appreciated.

This is where I would look:

The gentleman at ATG Vintage has some nice, aftermarket straps.

Thanks for the replies. What I was looking for was something more like this:

But instead of the regular buckle, a clasp that just expands / contracts the band so you can slip it on and off.

If anyone has some links to a reputable site for straps / deployment buckles, that would be great. I found that picture by just searching google images, it came from a rather shady store.

ETA - Anyone ever hear of the Hirsch Carbon Fiber strap? Any pictures of it on a sub or GMT?

As far as I know only Omega and Gerrard Perregaux make genuine kevlar watch straps. Due to the difficulty of manufacturing them all the others sold as kevlar are nylon or composite. I know www.ofrei.com stock the Omega ones in the US but they are pricey

I have that strap, it is rather good. Excuse the crappy pics, taken with my Nokia E71 (before I found the autofocus function...)

Go to the Panerai section then go to the strap sub forum. On the top of the page is a sticky for strap sellers, you can spend hours looking at all the different ones, it's awesome. You will find what you are looking for there.
