PP leather straps

How hard is it to get new original leather straps for a 5227R? Also: Whats an estimated cost? I went to PP website but I didn't find access to new straps.

Call the Patek AD closest to you or go straight to the source and order from Camille Fournet who make the Patek straps.

Jean Rousseau I heard is also great.

Camille Fournet made me a strap it took like 3 months but was great and I would say 1/3 cheaper than buying from AD.

The only thing that was confusing is dealing with the French SAs figuring out my sizing - I should have asked more questions here on the forum and ordered thru the website without the back and forth of dealing with a French SA with somewhat broken English.

Sorry forgot pricing: I paid $420 for CF strap and I think Patek strap is like $600 in the US.

But bought a strap at the london salon and it cost me like 300 pounds I think I got some kind of discount because the AC was broken and my wife and I sweating like crazy and they felt bad.

Thanks: I just bought a strap for my Omega Deville. I ordered it from Omega but the packaging was from France. It cost $420.00 also. I bet this strap came from the same place that you are talking about. Thanks again for the information.

I went to the website and didn't see anything CHF. Could you tell me what CHF is? Also: Does the Alligator leather come with the small pins that lets you take the bands off yourself without going to a shop?
