I love it when I find great sellers with excellent communication skills and great value. This strap is Horween Brown Cordovan hand made in the USA for less than $40! Amazing, what a find!

So this is where I got the inspiration for this brown cordovan strap. This is a screenshot from the latest Hodinkee talking watches, the guy has a beautiful pre-Daytona Rolex Chronograph and it has pale blue numbers around the edge of the dial like mine. The strap I have ordered is almost identical looking to this one, Brown Horween Cordovan, I think its going to look stunning. Here is the Rolex to give you an idea!

Whats the lug size Ian? As you know the British army uses the original NATO straps, IIRC they are 17mm, and I can get my hands on some, if it would be any use send a PM with your address and I will pop a couple in the post.

Dave!!! That is so wonderful of you, thank you very very much! Its 18mm but 17 would be great as well. Wow, thanks so much Dave, that is really kind of you.
