Great video, many thanks. I started hand making my own leather watch straps a while back, specifically because I have relatively slim wrists and, like you, hate the excess tongue end poking up around the back of my watch. I usually cut mine to 78mm on the buckle side and 108mm on the tongue end. This keeps all the bulk of the buckle, keepers and double thicknesses of strap firmly centred in the middle of the underside of my wrist and really helps balance the watch out. Keep up the great work and keep well. J

I received my first Geckota strap today, a RED Highley Douglas handmade leather strap. It was such high quality and exceeded my expectations so much that I ordered 2 more identical straps from them.

Thanks for sharing.. You should consider getting into deployment clasps. Game changer. Peace

I'm confused... you reference 4 brands in your title but only show two of them.

How's it's hanging buddy ?) An honest review, without a doubt the WatchGecko (italian) leather strap is my next choice, by the way your watches look great .

Very helpful video! Do you by chance have any recommendations for leather straps that come with titanium buckles? This has been a challenge for me as I want to get my dad one and he is allergic to most stainless.

Great video, straps can totally change a watch. We have similar taste in watches and straps. I would urge you to take a look at Fluco straps, great quality at a great price. Cheers

Hate Hadley, Barton is great for silicone straps but not leather, really like Geckota/Watchgecko. I like B&R bands the most, usually $20 more than Geckota but excellent (and they offer short lengths, which I prefer)

The Barton Horween line is great, especially for the price.

That radatock strap on the Yema is sweet! Might have to get one, how does the vintage red one look on the Yema?
