Yellow leather strap...

Post by NapoleonDynamite »

I'm after a 18mm leather yellow strap like the following for my wife's Mondaine. I ain't paying Mondaine prices though....

It'd be great to have a range with different colours, but I'm after this specific style.

Quick release would be good but not a deal breaker.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance! Image

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

I don't search for yellow 18mm bands very often :)

A quick search turned up some PU bands for really cheap and this for $10:

I think that brand can also be found on Amazon for a little more sometimes.

OR, this for under $15 (note the coupon on the page):

Neither are quick release. BUT, you can buy the quick release spring bars and add them yourself if you want. I do it all the time with an xacto knife. Just take a strap that has quick release, mark where your hole needs to start and stop on the new band, insert either another spring bar or a finishing nail into the strap to stop you from cutting all the way through, then cut your two short ends of the hole. Then cut the top and bottom long cuts to connect the end cuts, and pull out the "hole" material. Insert a quick release spring bar into your newly cut hole, then work the short end over the retracted end of the spring bar.
