Now he has come up with another unique strap, apparently improving on that one: the Chrono-Grip Hook Strap

Introducing: The Chrono-Grip Hook Strap – by Nick Mankey

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?

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…

What do you look for in high quality leather bands

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…
