I have that red strap. I find it's a great way to make plain white T-shirts and jeans outfit look amazing.
I love videos about straps for our watches....... there are’nt too much ..... thanks Pete for sharing and give us some ideas to change mod of watches
There was a time when I only had one strap for a watch. Now I do have at least 3 options for every watch. I change them depending on the season, the activity, the occasion and my mood.
Me too. It's maddening at times though. I have to justify why I have more money in straps dedicated to a particular watch. Just got the Steinhart Ocean 39 and I'm on my fourth strap for it. Guess it's better than crack right? Cheers
@@frankquarters I do not know if better than crack but a much healthier addiction 😉😅.
Good video! I bought a Vario strap based on your earlier video and was pleased with the product. I will probably be looking at the ones from Strapsco.
Good timing. I’m on the lookout for some straps to inject new life into the collection. Thanks Peter.
My pleasure Dean, cheers
@Peter Kotsa
Thanks Peter! I've had Strapsco in my bookmarks for some time, but I've previously found out the hard way that buying straps can be a total money pit with nothing to show. I'm glad you took the time because I really like that red leather.
One of my first 'serious' watch purchases is my Orient Ray 2 on rubber strap; the rubber strap is way too long, the end extends way out and it snags on everything and looks ridiculous. I've spent way too much money on amazon with straps I really regretted buying that I should have returned, but figured I could eventually pair them with other watches as my "collection" grew. Now, they just congregate in my drawer like lazy bums and do nothing :)
That red leather...
Red it is! :D
Hello Peter, I really enjoy how you think outside the box. When I saw this video the first time I took your suggestion to heart and bought the red strap and put it on a Yema reverse panda chrono and WOW!!! Thank you much.
Champion.
Express your character through your individualism my friend 👍
Enjoy
A taper of 20/16 is my favorite and hard to find but I guess I didnt know where to look🤷♂️ I needed this video
Hey Peter!
Great vid mate. I like strap videos. There aren't enough of them.
The problem with straps, as you said, is that price doesn't always reflect quality. I hate paying more for a strap, thinking that it's going to be better quality than the much cheaper version...
But a good one is worth its weight in gold!
I've got some catching up to do too. Been away dealing with family stuff.
You've been busy!
Cheers mate.
Anthony.
Hi Anthony, I hope the family stuff is all ok. Welcome back :)
@@PeterKotsa - All good mate. Thanks.
Got some time down in Geelong too!
Nice to be back!
Best review over straps I ever seen, great!!! I have the same issue with tropic strap on my alpina seastrong diver.
Great job pairing those straps. The Tudor looks brilliant. I've been buying from StrapsCo for ages now. They have a wonderful selection and excellent prices. The red one is another beauty. I have the same in black and one in red minus the stitching. Blu Shark and Cheapest NATO Straps are also worth checking out
You’re gonna make me buy that red strap for my Oris 65, great combo!
I love it
FKM Rubber Is the only way to go, so comfortable no lint sticking to strap either.
GREAT Content Peter. That Red Strap tho ... 😍... I’m tempted!
My fav...
I'm at checkout already ... yikes. Going on my pepsi Ocean 39 ... please be spectacular!
Ooops ... out of stock!
One of the better straps reviews out there 👍 The pin buckles could indeed use an upgrade...
How do they age?
They have aged well...the tan one is only starting to show some signs now and the red one
But generally pretty good
Hey, thanks for costing me another Ben Franklin ... oh well, just don't tell my wife. Great channel. Thank you for your inspirations.
It’s ok, I tell my wife it’s all my viewers fault for me not being able to pay the bills 😂😂
Great review! The straps looked so much better when you put them on your wrist . . . really liked how the rally strap looks on the Speedmaster!
Yeah that Speedy looks amazing with this strap combo..sits great on the wrist as well with this leather strap..
cheers
This company has such a huge selection of straps. I came across an Australian company Artisan Straps the other day and they seem to have nice products. Cheers
Excellent honest review. Appreciate it. Just got a shipment and look forward to fitting them. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you
Hi Pete! You are so right: suppleness is key to a good strap. Nothing worse than than too stiff straps. These straps were all perfect choices for the respective watches, but once again you've proven that the Oris 65 is the strap monster. Seeing it on this red strap literally caught me off guard 😍 Cheers mate!
Thanks Alex
Great review mate. Was looking at Strapsco and ended up going with Vario based on your other review. I do like the vintage leather. Prefer a thicker buckle also.
Either way you can’t go wrong 👍👍
The Tudor looks awesome it has really sparked my interest in this watch .
It’s an excellent unit and wears beautifully on the wrist 👍
The red vintage leather is also my favourite. They seem really fairly priced as is and 3 for 2 makes them a bit if a bargain
beautiful straps, love the attention to detail :)
I think it may have been worth it for you to point out the quality of the leather. Genuine leather is typically bonded, and won't last nearly as long as top grain or full grain. It may look fine from a distance, but there is a reason these are so cheap. You get what you pay for, and while these are probably very good for what they are, I wouldn't put them on any of my higher end watches.
Great vid, Peter! One never can have enough straps! I´m more into nato straps. I havn´t worn a 2 piece strap in about two years or so.
Hey Gabriel, I went through a stage last year where I only wore Nato's.
I removed all my bracelets and leathers and religiously wore nato's for many many months. I must have overdosed on them as I haven't worn them for ages now..lol
Cycles we go through I suppose :)
Very informative mate, will check out their website but first to some gemista. Legend Pete!
Gemista?..where is my invite?..lol
Bona-petite
I like the red one. 👍
We have different taste in straps, but I sure like your watches!
I’d love to see what straps you match your watches with. Feel free to drop me an email and share some photos....
Cheers
Peter
I totally agree with u
Hi!
First thing that comes to my mind: waterproof, leather waterproof.
My preference on straps are leather bands, and because of me loving running and outdoor activities I tend to wear my leather-strapped watches everywhere and found that some of the bands are .. dying .. so, I see the watches are diving , Are the leather ones waterproof?
Regarding colors / models: the 3rd one , the red one ; What about that in "stressed" brown?
Great presentation.. as usual...
I don’t think leather and water mix very well. Some people recommend waterproofing the leather but even that is not very effective if you get the straps submerged
As said. You "test", we save. Thanks for your honest opinions mate.
PS You really love changing straps, don't you? You do well though, it's the best and cheapest way to re-enjoy a watch. Not to say that most come in ugly ones... LOL
Great review! I just found out about StrapCo days ago and made a purchase because of there 19 and 21mm., although for me its been 6 days and they have'nt arrived, I'm in MX, so...patience. Greetings, have a nice weekend.
I think there are 2 shipping methods (they sent mine express international) so I received them super fast
Enjoy them when they arrive!
@@PeterKotsa Thanks Peter, your review gave me great confidence on my StrapsCo purchase. P.S. Because I didn't buy the silicon one.
Great video I have a pepsi padi any good straps for it
Very much agree about wider pins - partly because they’ll last longer. The third one (red one) looked nice - and quite chunky but according to their website is only 3mm thick. Even my thinnest leather straps measure over 3mm and so I’m confused now - unless the website is wrong. What does your strap measure?
Ps I followed up your rubber strap video by asking Borealis when they expect to restock. Sent them a couple of emails a fortnight ago but no replies. If you happen to know... feel free to share!
I just checked the red strap and I measure it in at approx 3.1mm thick..
I know it looks thicker but that is an optical illusion with the black sides...it is indeed 3.1mm or thereabouts.
As for Borealis, no I have not heard anything about restock etc..maybe Covid has affected them .
regards
Peter
@@PeterKotsa Thanks. I'm buying lots of straps at the moment - didn't realise it could be such a minefield!
@@PeterKotsa 👍👍
The delivery was fast because they are probably made in China... they look great and quite reasonable on price. By the way you said so many times that you want to be honest that I had to laugh and think whether you were being sincere 🤣 The straps look good. Cheers
Hey Sylvio, I was being sincere bro. Before I threw out the packaging and envelope which these were delivered in, I recall seeing that these were shipped express from Canada.
I know you were and I was just picking on you. Thanks for your reply. I live in Hong Kong and it is amazing the amount of good quality straps made in China these days. This not to mention the numerous watches being assembled in China with Japanese movements. By the way, get in touch with Dan Henry. He is a friend and his watches might be worth an honest review. You can tell him you got the recommendation from me. He lives in Brazil and he is a good friend of mine. danhenrywatches.com/
Thanks Sylvio I’ll check him out 👍
Only problem with a lot of straps are that they are normally too long for my small wrist. I have to punch an extra hole then I have to much length and it ends up annoying me.
I was browsing the StrapsCo website and I came across som longer length and shorter length straps, hopefully to suit smaller wrists
@@PeterKotsa that's good at least it gives you a choice of length.
Do they ship to the uk at the moment i mostly buy from watch gecko as most brands don't ship to the uk or are too expensive.
I don’t see any reason why they can’t
Check out their website
@Peterkosta , I believe the Oris diver sixty-five is a 21mm lug size how much room are you covering whit the 20mm? And does it work whit the standard push link.
The Oris Diver 65 is a 20mm
@@PeterKotsa I don't know what happened whit my then is a 21mm.
@@mercado180 that's strange indeed, what case size is yours?..40mm or larger
@@PeterKotsa 40 mm reference 01 733 7707 4065.
Where are these straps and bracelets made?
HI Jake,
I am not sure, contact Strapsco direct, they might be able to answer your question
Cheers
You can't knock straps co. They hit a lot of youtubers for reviews and get a lot of visibility. Who's to say whether or not all of these are actually 100% honest, but I have eyes and I know what I like or what would bother me. Really, the words mean nothing to me.
Side note, I have seen a few reviews reviews that have included the word "supple". Either that's a word that a lot of watch guys use, or straps co told them what to say. Hmmmm.
Lucky for me I only accept watches or straps for review as long as I have full freedom to say what I want and review them how I see them..👍
If a reviewer doesn't have full freedom to review a product, then its not a review, its a promotion..
Cheers
Interesting. I bought a dassari strap from them and it was terrible.
Thats no good, which particular one was it?
And what was wrong with it?
cheers
Peter
@@PeterKotsa, it was the Dassari vintage leather pilot band w/ rivets. The upper layer of leather started separating from the rest almost immediately upon wearing it. I wore it for about two days and then took it off and threw it in a drawer.
@@williamsipe1151 Oh man that's no good..
I am wearing mine on a daily/weekly basis and I will see how it stands the test of time...
@@PeterKotsa, I have several others from them and they are all great.
Strapsco frustrate me. Every strap I have ever bought from them was too short. Unless you have a very small wrist I would avoid this brand
To bad, i hate leather, nato straps zulu straps! SS bracelets are the only way to go. It gives the watch a feeling of heft and quality!
Well G'evening Peter 😇 . Thanks for another great video bro and this one is just in time because I just got my first Vostok : m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10220383873361038&id=1056534971&sfnsn=mo, and I really like the Dassari rally strap, for the same reason I like this tan kinda sorta NATO strap that came with the vostok as well as the black leather strap with red stitching which I also like. I've already got my eye on an anphibian scuba dude that I'll be ordering soon. Within the next day or three I should also have a citizen ProMaster homage that I ordered showing up..
Very nice looks like my Komandirskie but in white dial..excellent choice
@@PeterKotsa thanks Pete and good morning :-) I like it alot unfortunately it just up and quit on me. The second hand stopped and the calendar Works still work fine and the movement is still running but now it's really slow so I'll probably be opening it it up to take a peach and possibly taking it in somewhere for a look-see
Why do all these strap companies taper their straps? Its feminine looking.
They do it for Comfort...it seems to work better on smaller wrists
@@PeterKotsa i dont get it. I think it makes the watch look like a womans watch.
@@navyvet05 if you look back in the 50's and 60's the straps used to taper..however they also had smaller watches back then. So the shape and taper has been around a long time
