I would like to change things a bit by adding a black leather strap to my SS DJ. I'm looking for one that will primarily be worn with a business suit.
Please let me know if there is a particular brand of strap that you reccomend, along with strap material-calf, croc, lizard, etc. Thank you, Scott
Here's a photo of my DJ

Leather straps are such a vast universe.

Try looking into Everest bands. Their leather straps have curved ends and they have different kinds of leather.

Hirsch. You will save a lot of money and they are just as good as more expensive straps in a lot of comparisons.

You don't go cheap when it comes to strapping a Rolex, check out the Sirtoli Andreas padded alligator as an example of a matte black strap for a dress DJ.

I use Hirsch on my Omegas. For me, it's either Hirsch (cheap) or custom (expensive). I don't see the value of expensive RTW straps.

Thank you all. I placed an order with Hirsch.

Best,

Scott

For the money I don't think Hadley Roma straps can be beat. Matte gator for $161 on Amazon Look for MS2005

A black lizard strap will go great with your watch. Many choices available.

Check out this strap in the Panerai sub-forum here, a black bespoke lizard strap:

I asked for a link to the site so you can see what else is on offer, which you can find at post #9. I'm pretty excited about the straps that can be made
