Re: Watch Straps
In Response To: Watch Straps ()

I recently started using Banda (www.banda.com) and was really amazed at how responsive and together this company is. A lady named Louisa has been working with me to custom make a Speedmaster Moon strap, and she's really on the ball. They take scans and dimensions of your watch, and from that you can tell them pretty much whatever design you want, and they'll put it together in 8-10 days.

Finding a strap for my Speedy Moon has been a real pain. I wanted something substantial in thickness, and also would extend slightly beyond the 20mm lugs, almost flush with the case. Really robust, black, and with deployment buckle.

When Banda finishes this custom jobber, I'll post a scan... Fingers crossed that it turns out well..

P.S. Thanks for the great tip re: Ashford this morning!! I picked up a display back moon watch for $1276.00... Quite a deal.

Happy New Year,
-Dan
