39mm Ranger strap inspiration

Love the 39mm Ranger on the bracelet and Tudor fabric strap but I’m wondering if any of y’all have some strap recommendations for this model. I’m thinking brown leather but open to suggestions.

This Holben looks interesting: https://holbensfinewatchbands.com/co...16240044802159

Any ideas from the masses?

I’ve been pondering that question too. I think the distressed leather would look sharp on the Ranger.

Purchased this strap and will post a pic once it arrives. I think it’ll be really nice!

Strap arrived and I got it installed. It feels high quality, including the buckle. It also does my 7” wrist well. I also ordered spring bars but apparently ordered 18mm instead of 20mm. Someone at the company caught it and sent 20mm spring bars as well, no charge. Great customer service!

The strap also arrived in a nice cloth drawstring bag which is a nice touch.

Overall, I’m thrilled the the strap and impressed with Threaded’s customer service. I would definitely order from them again!

Unless you ordered 8 of them, must be. It’s $60 usd.

Love the look of the leather! I have the same watch and am having a dickens of a time removing the bracelet. Can you tell me what specific spring bar tools you are using??

I use a cheap tool like this one. I had some issues as well and had to switch the prongs to get the spring bars to release. Grab the flange on each side with the prong, compress the spring, and gently press down. Once the spring bars are compressed enough to come out of their holes, the downward pressure will release the end link.

Post a pic of the strap you choose!

I haven’t experienced it but I’ve heard it’s nice. If they offered a brown version, I probably would’ve purchased one.
