custom strap -who do you like?

I'm sure this has been discussed in the past, I tried searching but get a million hits for straps.

I need a longer strap for my panerai, who do you like?

thanks very much

Aaron for exotic straps.
Cordes David for ammo straps.
Kostas for vintage straps.

So far, only strap maker I can recommend is Vintager.

I can tell u who I CANNOT recommend…
Recently had a terrible experience with Ted Su straps from Taiwan.
I will start another thread soon but they did a “bait and switch” on an alligator strap and refuses to give me an explanation.

I am a big fan of Vintager Straps. Micah has made several straps for me and all have been top quality. Very good prices given the quality as well.

Yes we remember the "bait and switch" story. They gave you back your money
