Leather Strap on 1680
Just bought a '78 1680 Sub and original bracelet isn't in the best condition. I was wondering if anyone can suggest best leather strap to fit my Sub?

Nice straps, fellas. I really like the combination of the red sub with the red accent stitching on BH13GMT's!

Steve aka Diamondjack has a srunning Red with a custom strap from these guys. U can design the strap from scratch to your own preferences. Having seen them in the flesh they are pretty impressive. The price reflects the quality though

Great straps that are hand made in Italy.

Glad you're enjoying it! For $20, can't go wrong in my opinion.

Thanks Paul.....

Yes I would definitely recommend ABP.....

Expensive but fantastic quality and the fact you can choose everything from the animal skin, the colour and design of the stitching, the colour of the leather lining etc etc is worth it in my books.

If you check out their website, they can make straps out of pretty much everything that moves. Even straps from old baseballs and basket balls.....

I have two, the first Ostrich leg with red stitching and red lining on my red 1680 and Alligator with orange stitching and orange lining on my tango lume 16800.
