New Shoes for Octa Lune
I posted a while back about a couple straps I purchased from A Collected Man and, like others, found the spring bars were too loose and didn’t provided much security. I also indicated that they were fixing this and working to find new spring bars that better match those that come with OEM FPJ straps. Well, I received 4 of the straps today and I must say how good of a job they did. The spring bars fit tightly with no wiggle and the casual look these straps bring is much more up my alley. So, for anyone who was waiting, the new ones are great.
In addition to the one mounted on the watch I got the other three shown as well.

Good to hear this
ACM refunded me for the earlier straps due to the same issues. Please post a long-term review when you get a chance, as I would love to reorder their straps. I wanna make sure the new spring bars are good to go. Thanks!
I certainly will
I can say very clearly that upon mounting and now wearing they feel as snug and as well made as the ones with the various OEM straps I have. I have mounted all 4 on my Octa Lune and there is no wiggle or torque when twisting the strap or whatever. I have ...
I am wondering...
...which one fits better, hum ! Actually all 4 seem a perfect match. Look, leather quality, color... everything seems to be perfect. You made an excellent selection, well done
All great options
I have the Paris strap on my Octa Lune and am very happy with it. ACM was great to deal with and ended up sending me a few of the updated spring bars to remedy the fit issue. I may have to add another one soon 🤔
Same...
They replaced the old ones and since they were already shipping them to me I ordered two more.
Is everything shipped from the UK?
I looked at their site and it says customers outside of UK have to pay via wire (no C.C.). Was that your experience?
No....
I just ordered two more to go with the replacements and paid with my credit card.
And one on the CB
Just thought I would add this one as well. Actually really like this one on the CB and the contrast with the blue works well. ...
Fantastic colors you got. ACM are doing a great job with these straps!
Important to know that the spring bars are now of a proper fit.
Thanks...
And agree that proper fitting springbars make a world of difference. I love the casualness the ACM straps bring to these watches.
Agreed.
I’m wearing a croco band ring now but I’m going to look for the same color in calf. I prefer the casual look as well. It feels more contemporary and really changes the character of the watch.
Love the previous version LN!!
Wasn’t as lucky as you but got my hands on the newer one while I could! ...
