Hi All!

I got into the M23 Tungsten a little late - got one of the last few left. And I LOVE it.

As a result of getting in late, Lum-Tec did not have any of the leather (black with orange stitching) straps left and I was shipped a black with grey stitching instead. It doesn't do the watch justice. I have been wearing it on the bracelet, which looks fantastic, but is HEAVY and I can't get it sized exactly as I'd like. It's almost too big now and a bit too small if I remove another link.

Can anyone recommend an after-market leather strap for the M23? I would like black leather and would love to find something with orange accents on it, though I could be convinced to go a different route in terms of material or color.

So, M23 owners out there, what custom straps have you found and love?

Thanks!

Heh in the same boat as you, personally I am using a custom maker and am looking at black elephant with a minimal orange stitch. Bes pointed me towards internationalwatchman.com and panatime.com.

You can't go wrong with any of the forum sponsors.

check panatime, if you find something there with orange accents, it can save you a nice coin over custom.

Can't go wrong with a blue Darlena (eBay).

....my suggestions for M23!!!

1. the stock leather is awesome

2.brown handmade strap

3.blue strap also looks great with the M23

Blue strap looks very good.

Try orange?

I think an orange NATO would look pretty sweet.

Or an orange Isofrane
