Nice strap for cream patina 1680 ?

Looking for a nice strap for my 1680 which has a light creamy patina on dots & hands.

Preferably 20/18 size (so I can use my Everest buckle)
Don't like a large gap between strap & case

I haven't found anything on google and I've bought a couple straps in the past that really didn't work for me.

Not looking for NATOs ... leather or canvas 2-piece only

Any suggestions most welcome

If you don’t like gaps, you’re going to need some Smarty end links with these types of straps. Of course Rubber B and Everest have endlink straps and rubber straps that are well adapted.

Bulang & Sons is what I had. Sold the watch, still have the strap (and some custom end links by a member here). Shameless plug...

I love a nice suede strap with lug-end stitching that matches the patina. Here's my (former) 1680.
