Colareb Leather Straps

[SemperFi]

I came across these straps a few days ago and was wondering if anyone out there has bought from this company before.
They’re Italian made leather straps which can be purchased directly from the company as well as Amazon and Holben’s. They look to be very well made, in a variety of textures and colors, and at a very reasonable price point.
If anyone has one please chime in.

ooooh, new strap option!? I'm listening

[Chadridv]

Just had a quick look Angelo. I don't know anything about the brand. But for similar style and price point I can tell you I've been very pleased with watch gecko! I don't recall what the policy is about dropping links, but just google watch gecko. The quality is excellent!

Thanks for the heads up Chadri.
Apparently Colareb is a small Mom and Pop company but all of the reviews I’ve read are excellent.
Plus they’re Italian!

seems like it might be worth a try! Which watch are you looking to pair it with?

Stowa Flieger Classic 40 (black dial) which will not arrive for several weeks.

Any particular style or colors that you liked best? I’m thinking of either the Venezia or Spoleto.

[SemperFi]

I forgot to mention that what I also like about this brand is that the straps don’t require a break in period. Supposedly they are soft and supple right out of the box.

I see a lot of them on insta. Look good.

Just cannot see the point of these straps. Rolex watches always look best on their bracelets. If guys want straps then buy a Rolex with its own fitted strap as standard.

Op actually said it was for a stowa, but as far as mix & matching, you either enjoy it or you don’t. I love the variety. For me it’s just a bit of fun. I feel almost 99% of the time a Rolex looks and functions best on its bracelet. My bracelets need not feel threatened by new straps lol.

Also, there are only a few models that are actually offered on straps. Not many options and I believe all are gold. No everyone’s cup of tea.

Right you are Chadri.
It’s fun changing up the look of a watch. The Stowa I ordered is an old time pilots watch which I believe would look terrific on a distressed leather strap.
But I also have my Explorer on a RubberB so Rolex is not immune to mixing and matching either. The bracelet is always the classic and classy look but it doesn’t need to stop there.

Lots of options. They look good....did you see the “vegan watch strap” link? No product listed but, Huh? ��

I have a black venezia with white stitching. It's good, not great.

Hi, I have a Colareb Spoleto Brown, which I have on a Sinn 356 Sa Flieger.
It is a distressed leather, and quite soft without requiring any breaking in.
The quality is very good and provides a soft rustic look.
I purchased the watch on a Sinn strap which is my favorite and is quite a different look to the Colareb.
Both look great.

Bought a few straps from them in the past. Great quality straps.
The only downside I have is that the holes are too far apart so the strap wears either too loose or too tight

Pictures please

I have many Colareb straps, their quality is very good for the price. Plenty of variety in color and styles of Colareb straps at Holben’s, which is where I get all but OEM straps.

I have an ostrich strap from Colareb for a vintage Omega, very good quality for a good price.

Glad to hear that there are satisfied owners out there. Deciding on a color is going to drive me nuts.

I tried quite a few straps on my Ranger but I ultimately decided I like the Colareb best. A very nice strap especially for the price. I sold the Tudor last year but I kept the Colareb. I'll probably pick up one or two more.

Here are a few shots of my Colareb to give you an idea of what it looks like from different angles.
These shots are simply to show the strap, and how it might look on your Stowa, although the Sinn is a chrono.

That is just perfect. Beautiful texture and color on the Spoleto.

Is that the brown or dark brown?
