Any viable alternatives to the Artem hydroflex?

I really wanted to try the hydroflex after all the great things I’ve heard about it, but unfortunately, they dont make it in a size for someone like myself, with 8¼” wrists. Kinda surprising, considering that they’re supposed to be one of the industry leaders.

Does anybody know of a similar product from any other brand(s) which might make the strap in a larger size?

Dassari Fitted FKM for the Tudor BB58 – First Impression

Though I’ve always liked the look of the fitted/curved rubber straps on these watches, the prices on most didn’t seem worth the try for someone who changes straps often like me. I also really appreciate the aesthetic & comfort of my Joseph Bonnie Tropic strap so I didn’t really think I needed another rubber strap in the rotation. I recently saw where Uncle Straps had released a new fitted FKM for the BB58 and when I saw the price, it definitely seemed worth a try. While looking around I…

For those of you who use leather straps…

…do your straps stink after awhile? How do you deal with this? Is there a brand or type of leather strap that is resistant to getting stinky and that can also hold up to frequent hand washing (I’m a healthcare worker)?

Thanks.

Joseph Bonnie Tropic Strap – First Impression

I had been thinking about getting a nice rubber strap as a change up for my BB58 for a while and was always drawn more to the look of a tropic style strap versus curved rubber. I had it down to two options, the original Tropic brand & Joseph Bonnie…

What do you look for in high quality leather bands

I’m currently shopping for some leather high quality military/nato bands. And im not looking so much for a specific recommendation (though hey feel free to throw one out if you have it) as tips (or guides?) for what to look for in these.

Style wise you can get a sense from the pictures.

And if it is a trustworthy/well liked place from the reviews.

But I find I don’t really know what im looking for in the sense of why one band is 150 dollars and another 30. OR what is a good…

Looking for help finding 18mm canvas single pass watch straps with metal keepers but without metal eyelets

I enjoy wearing vintage watches that have 18mm lug widths, but I don’t have a lot of luck with the fit of the two piece leather straps that seem to be the go-to for those kind of watches. I like the feel of canvas, the simplicity of single-pass, and I don’t want metal eyelets so I can tuck it back in like a nato if it has a long tail (the eyelets make that impossible).

I found a couple nice options at CWC with their Vintage Style Canvas Watch strap – I just had to cut away the extra keeper…

Do all Perlons do this?

I try to like Perlon straps… well I only have one. But it seems to get narrow and stretch with use. More specifically it ends up with gaps between the lugs exposing the spring bars. Is this just a thing with Perlon straps? Or maybe cheaper ones? Do som…

The problem is,I…
