You can pay real silly money for some straps but in the real world most are not better quality than the ones from Hirsch.

I have found myself buying Hadley Roma straps lately. Out of Largo Florida. Nice quality, reasonable prices.

Be careful what you wish for...
You might end up spending enough on straps for a new watch. ;) Check out the Panerai forums. Paneristi love their straps just slightly less than their watches.
