    I just picked this up for £60GBP delivered on amazon lightning deals.

    I already have a similar seiko with a metal strap and black dial as well as a sportura with black leather strap with orange stitching. I'm thinking about looking for a brown leather strap for this one, opinions? Anyone got a good place for a variety of oem straps? I'm looking for a matte type with a soft leather I think.

    On this site you can look at straps until your eyes bleed :D

    (great choice in other words, almost too much)

    Dealt with them a few times, no complaints. Fair prices, low shipping cost, deliver within a week.


    EDIT:

    just noticed that your watch has a lug width of 19mm ...choice is a bit more limited there

    EDIT again:

    This is what I would go for with this particular watch:

    So when it says strap width of 19mm, thats the lug width also? Could a 20mm squeeze on considering itd be leather? Looking at 18mm I quite like this one

    A thin dresswatch kind strap you could probably squeeze in, but a chrono calls for something a bit beefier IMO and there you might have to "shave" it a bit either end at the lugs.

    Probably but not guaranteed. I bought a strap recently from Sirtoli in the States (admittedly alligator rather than leather) and they mistakenly supplied 19mm where I had ordered 18mm; couldn't make it fit though, given the level of investment, I wasn't prepared to do anything that would compromise them replacing it. All fixed now and I just need a Girard Perregaux crown and buckle to complete the project.
