Where can I find this damn vintage strap!?!

I've been looking all over the web and have found something similar but not quite what I am looking for. So here is what I am after: hand stitched vintage black leather 20mm strap that I can use the original oyster clasp on. Kind of like this one. The problem is every one I've found is a buckle strap. I want to use the oyster clasp.

Probably custom made. There are plenty of strap makers out there who can make you a custom strap.

I've never seen one. It's a bit contradictory.

The one in the picture is buckle, no? As Mark said, you'll likely need to go custom but there are lots of good options out there

The one in the pic has a buckle but I am looking for that style but using a clasp like a Daytona strap.

Hodinkee or Bulang/Sons have similar straps ready to go. Other custom strap makers will do a stapled stitch like that as well.

AFAIK, Hodinkee doesn't offer any straps that are compatible with an OE flip-lock clasp.

There are several different ones I've seen on the web and/or Flea-bay.

Not an endorsement for any of these in any way, but here are a few I found with a quick search:

https://www.everestbands.com/product...yment-buckle-1

http://www.strapcode.com/store/rolex...html?infoBox=5 (scroll down)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/252674554388

http://www.ebay.com/itm/201816076046

http://www.ebay.com/itm/132096337984

http://www.ebay.com/itm/322160988159

http://www.ebay.com/itm/371072462176

http://www.ebay.com/itm/162368144329

If none of them are exactly what you are after, you might contact some of them to see if there are any other styles/options available, or possibility for a custom order. Good luck!
