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.
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
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 .
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
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.
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 Watch Gecko line is stunning. Thanks for this video!
Can't have enough strap videos, thanks for posting.
Thanks, I have been looking for a short quality strap. Going with a Geckoda.

Thanks really interesting video. I never know where to buy good straps now I have some ideas 👍
Very good taste in straps.

Thanks for sharing.. You should consider getting into deployment clasps. Game changer. Peace
Thanks, bro. That was helpful.
That Geckota Simple handmade Quick Release strap, what color is that? Reddish, Light Brown or Chocolate?
I would like to know that too. Could you post a link?

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

The Barton Horween line is great, especially for the price.
Nice
Was that first Geckota with blue dial a 39mm?
Yes
That radatock strap on the Yema is sweet! Might have to get one, how does the vintage red one look on the Yema?
Either one looks good on that watch
Etsy is my favorite place to go.
He cant read Venezia?
Venezia = Ven-Ets-Ee-Ah. Venice.
