Second NATO strap. First one aged out after 5 years of saltwater use and world travel. Got a green colored rubber NATO to match the barrel this time. Comfortable and light and decent longevity.
Thank you for expediting my order so quickly. I ordered my strap on Saturday and it arrived on Tuesday. My ColaReb Strapple is a vegan strap. The material is made from discarded apple membrane. The look, feel, grain, and texture are quite similar to calf leather. This vivid green strap pairs perfectly with my very pedestrian , inexpensive Seiko quartz. The watch is now the “Beautiful Beater”.
Thanks again ,
Sid
Amazing customer service from Holben's!!!!! Hands down one of the best experiences purchasing a watch strap over the internet! Extremely helpful and super quick turnaround! Love the look this bracelet gives to my new Marathon GSAR!
Hello Mike, Just a note to tell you how much I’m enjoying the Fluco Suede Strap. I have a bunch of their Straps, and they always look and feel great. Just fitted the Nizza Brown, which is the Chocolate shade, to the Emerald GO, and I’m getting Compliments left and right. Thanks again for your Top Notch Service and Selection.
Regards,
M. Berger
I now have Erik's Originals MN watch straps for my Longines Legend Diver, Tag Heuer Formula 1 GMT, Rolex Submariner and Muhle Glashutte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer. I have different color straps to go with the season and mood. I love the security the watch has with this strap, the comfort no matter what the temperature of activity and the unique look. I have attached aq couple of picture of the strap currently on the Submariner
Excellent quality and super fast shipping! Been a pleasure so far!!
Excellent product and excellent service. Watch band Looks great in my Tudor 1926 36mm.
I couldn't be more pleased! Your Customer Service is excellent. I recently purchased several of the Euclid mesh bands and they are truly stunning!
I've enclosed photos of several watches I fitted them on. They are a Longines Conquest, a Ball Trainmaster Moonphase, a Seiko Solar blue dial,
and what one does for a common Seiko 5 is unbelievable! Thank You again!

I am impressed. Classy band for my Seiko Prospex. Swapped out the Silicone Dive band for this grey waterproof band. Looks like a totally different watch which is more suitable for general usage. Band was stiff upon arrival (as expected). Just roll it a bit prior to install, especially towards the pin ends. It loosens right up and wears nicely. I will most likely try some different versions as this band as it wears wonderfully .
Recently placed an order for 2 “Erica’s MN“ watch bands for a military watch i own.
Holben’s had exactly what I was looking for at a fair price and delivered in a very timely fashion… will do business with Holben’s again soon
Very well made, love the breathability of the strap, I bought the black with white stitching and the black and red. Photos are worth a thousand words. I'll post another review with the black and red colorway.
I will try to keep my review short- hard when I have so many good things to say! This review covers three straps I purchased all of which exceeded expectation and were perfect for the intended purpose. The Fluco Chiara burgundy was to change up straps on a Bulova Sutton rectangular automatic which came with a nice alligator embossed brown leather strap but the burgundy took it to another level. The Di-Modell tan was the perfect strap for an Ugly Rista Marka automatic which is kind of a cool, funky watch which has an etched case and needs a bold designed strap like this- perfect. The Fluco racing blue was for a Yema Ralygraf Blue Tarmac, which came with a very nice brown racing strap but the blue strap, again, takes it to another level- again, perfect. So, I couldn't be happier with the quality, price and straps that perform and fulfill a collector's imagination :) (Not a great night time photographer but pic attached)
I ordered Bonetto Cinturini 281 Black Rubber Watch Strap that I think has been out of production for a while (could not find one in the UK/EU). Glad to be able to find it online, be it that it's in the US.
The order & payment process was easy (via PayPal) and the item arrived within two weeks, which I thought was excellent.
The strap fits nicely on my Doxa 600T.
Overall, I'm happy with the item & service.
Snag in delivery but Eric replied with top notch customer service.
Ordered on a Saturday night a 1am and had the straps by Wednesday afternoon. I am two time zones away from Holben’s, too! Very impressive!
Been buying straps for a long time, but never sent a review. Mike and his crew are some of the best in a very crowded arena of “Strap Guys”.The products and the super fast service are beyond reproach. This Bordeaux strap from Fluco is my latest purchase, and it looks and feels great. Buy from Holben’s!!
I have ordered alot of watch straps from Holben's and they always arrived in a timely manner in the way that they were described.
I've bought, as I recall, five Eulit perlon watch straps, which I like wearing in warm weather, most recently a brown panama strap. Very good product and Holben's shipping and followup service is excellent!
I've ordered several different straps from Holben's over the last couple years and always enjoyed a great experience. They carry a lot of great bands at very reasonable prices, ship quickly (and free!) and communicate well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for quality watch straps from a variety of good companies. I'll definitely be back for more.
Since I've been collecting vintage dress watches, Holben's has become my go to strap supplier. Quick, and easy, at a good price point. I particularly like the Fluco suede straps. Supple and comfortable right out of the box. I have also purchased some Colareb and Eulit straps that have not disappointed either. Thanks to the great team at Holben's!
Ordered a watch band on th 19th and it was delivered to the uk on the morning of the 25th
Great product,great service...will be using again
Recently purchased three watch bands from Holben's Fine Watch Bands. Two ColaReb Firenze Leather, a Grey and a Rust, along with a Bonetto Cinturini Rubber Watch Strap. I could not be happier with the quality and service.
I placed my first order with Holben's recently. I bought the Urban Gentry collaboration with Fluco on the leather watch case. The case itself is fantastic with soft leather and great construction. My shopping experience with Holben's was one of the best in a long time. I placed my order and literally 20 minutes later recieved an email that the item was shipped. Two days later it was in my mailbox. Incredible!!
Introduced to high quality watch band (fluco) which I hadn’t heard of before. Made in Germany, with fabulous reviews, so I trust the quality. Looks great with my citizen watch. Price is definitely fabulous as well. The owner dealt with all my questions in an extremely professional, patient manner. The sellers inventory is quite extensive and appears to consist only of very high quality bands. This is a big step up from the Chinese bands I had been looking at and the price is only a drop higher. The Fluco is high quality with an unusual color combination of black rubber with blue stitching. Now eyeing another band Benetto Cirturini, for a watch that I have been having trouble obtaining a suitable band for, a Dubey and Schalenbrand. This is a very sentimental watch for me and I’m extremely happy I stumbled onto Holben. The watch is also not cheap so I don’t have to trust my possession to an inferior band where my watch might very well end up at the bottom of a lake. With the combination of high quality as well as a very knowledgeable and communicative seller don’t hesitate to trust your favorite watches to Holbens.
