Any comments or guidance ?
Alistair, check out my mate Steve over at
https://www.steveostraps.com/Steve is a very good friend of mine, we used to work together. Steve does a ton of leather stuff and has loads of options for different hides etc.
The strap on watch Geko I have a similar version but I got mine from
Amazon Not bad quality for the price but a bit rattly but it does have a loose mesh rather than the tight Milanese mesh. I haven't put the Amazon one and the Geko mesh together but id hazard they are from the same place !
If you want to splash out then the German Staib is unparalleled. Extremely well made and comfortable. A lot of money but worth every penny IMO
