hey guys, so I've been buying lots of straps to match with my watches over the years. I'm wondering where do you guys get yours straps from? do you prefer leather / nylon /cloth / nato / steel bracelet band? lets share our watch strap collection and inspire others. in the past I've bought straps from these below brands: 1. strapcode 2. barton watch bands 3. nomadwatchworks 4. fossil 5. iStrap 6. various lazada / shopee merchants etc. below is my current watch and straps collection:

I only bought a Hadley Roma brown alligator leather strap (20mm lug size) from Ebay for my cheap Seiko 5 automatic watch. So far so good.

I also ordered quite a lot of straps from overseas. problem is not many big time sellers selling high quality affordable below rm100 straps in our country usually lazada / shopee a lot of rm20-30ish generic no brand straps
