Strap maker suggestions?
For my new JLC TT Geophysic SS, I would like to get a new strap, rugged looking black leather (padded?) with vintage contrast stiching, and the watch has 19mm lugs with 18mm buckle. Do the more experienced have a strap maker suggestion, that has no proble...
ABP in Paris : http://www.abp-paris.com/abpw/watch_straps_index.php
The make the most amazing custom made straps out of various materials and you can specific pretty much any type of style, ends, holes etc.. This is one they made for my BP Villeret I have also used Mia Sabel at the Sabelsaddlery - very much custom made wi...

They are the OEM supplier to JLC and make custom straps as well. Depending on the material chosen and other options, you might be able to come close to your $150 budget. And if you just can't find a strap you like for the watch, I'd be more than happy to...
A custom strap under $150 may not be so easy...
But possible if it's not in gator or Croc. Be also prepared to revise your budget to <$200. Besides ABP and CF, I've had a good strap made by John of Dangerous9 straps, who made a grey curved end one for my FPJ. Good quality and excellent communication Gu...

Jean Rousseau in New York, Paris, London, Tokyo and Macao is excellent
Jean Rousseau ships worldwide, has a great collection and makes excellent straps. This company will not let you down. www.jean-rousseau.com
Jean Rousseau will fit the $150 budget
I was recently at the boutique and put in my first custom strap order. First time for me with anyone doing custom so hoping for the best. What I like is their price is for total package and there are not add-ons, for example same price for curved end vs. ...
Thanks to all who have responded... Toshi does not offer 19mm lug size. I'll check out the Jean Rousseau next time I'm in Manhattan (not till mid August).
The reason I started the thread is that majority of strap websites I have seen do not offer off the shelf 19mm lug size, and those that do taper to 16mm buckle, not the 18mm buckle which the Geo has. Same story with my other watch that has 21 mm lug size....
