I am looking for a new/different watch band for my IWC. I was wondering which companies make good watch bands (leather, rubber, nylon etc) for luxury watches. The only one I know "Rubber B" only does rolex. I see people with new bands on the time on here and would appreciate some info. Thanks in advance.

Some of the low-cost brands that make IWC style straps are Hirsch, Hadley Roma, Panatime, Di Modell, The Watch Boys. They are mostly basic machine-made straps, but they are useful if you want to try out a different style or color and don't want to spend much money.

If you want to spend a little more, there are many options for custom made straps. I've been eyeing a Toshi strap lately. Paneristi.com had a whole section on custom strap makers, or do a web search for Panerai aftermarket straps.

Hadley Roma and Hirsch (along with others) make some very nice croc/gator straps that are easily as nice as the IWC straps I've seen. If you've got something like the Portuguese that doesn't have a curved/fitted end, then you can find a very high quality strap for $50 to $150.

You can search HR, Hirsch or Dimodell on ebay to find a seller. I've had good luck with "strappedfortime" and "freda".
