Strap ?

Wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction. Looking for XL strap options. Good quality at a reasonable price, do these exist?

I’ve used Aaron at Combat straps but man these things can ad up. Was hoping to find a good leather at a good price. Preferably 50-75 range.

I've purchased a number of custom straps from Rob Montana (thestrapsmith.com) and have been very happy with the results.

Gunny (gunny straps) seems to be most reasonable. Coming below $125 on some straps. Not bad.

Just go for Panerai OEM, only $220-$260 depending on width. If custom, I prefer Camille Fournet, around $180 but gets you alligator lining.

I think Vintager Straps by Micah makes the best aftermarket straps. I particularly like his shark straps since Panerai doesn't really produce them OEM any longer. Everything else I tend to go OEM directly from Panerai. If you call them, you can usually source something that might be discontinued or hard to find.
