Strap recommendation

What aftermarket strap would you guys recommend for a 67 Explorer I, (34mm case, 19mm lugs)? The case, hands and dial are in good shape with a nice patina on the dial and hands.

Everest and RubberB do not make a strap for it.

36mm case, and 20mm lugs. Which means MANY straps can be used.

Hodinkee has some good looking straps, but is not cheap. I think you go with black though.

Bang for buck ............. Holbens. Several brands, all comparable quality to Hipsterdinkee, half the price.

I have a nice Colareb strap on my Tudor Sub and I'm thoroughly happy with it.

OOPs sorry about that. I was looking at Air King specs. Thanks for the correction.

BTW, apparently there was an Explorer I 34mm made in the 1950"s

I’ve been happy with Bulang and Sons straps. I’ve purchased 5 in the past month.

I'm surprised I've never seen any mention of Attila Aszodi on here. We buy many straps from him. TOP quality.

I forgot to mention Erika’s Originals. Extremely comfortable and a great vintage look.

You don't want either of those on that watch anyway!

Try leather, suede, nylon (NATO). It's a slippery slope though. Once you start...
