A good quality strap. It is a thin strap at 3mm throughout, not padded. I replaced the tang and buckle with a deployant.
Nice strap perfectly supple and comfortable, just a tar bit large for 6.5 inch wrist. Otherwise it’s a perfect strap for hot hunid rainy wears!
I bought this Fluco deployant clasp to pair with a brown Fluco Dublin strap that I purchased on the same order. This combination whas purchased for a Tisell Flieger type A watch that has been on a black Blushark Original NATO strap for the past few years. I wanted something more fitting for a Flieger, with simpler stitching, and this combo fit the bill perfectly
I own and wear this exact deployant clasp on six other watches, either polished or brushed, whichever pairs best for each case. They're comfortable, consistently secure once latched, and they look great! When I order a new leather strap I always order one of these clasps to go with.
Holben's customer service has been exceptional over the past decade or so, since I began buying from them. I cannot reccomend the Fluco Butterfly Deployant clasp enough. Same goes for Holben's.
I bought this watch strap for a Tisell Flieger type A, based on a Stowa Fieger type A (the specs are nice: brushed 316L stainless case, diamond style crown, domed sapphire crystal, heat-blued steel hands, Miyota 90S5 movement, and a Stowa styled leather strap). I bought the watch on Ebay for less than $100 USD in new condition.
A while back I put this watch on a Blushark Original NATO strap. Recently, I went looking for the original leather strap and discovered that I'd misplaced it. This provided the perfect excuse to buy a better leather strap for the watch, something less bulky in a similar brown leather with simpler, warm white stitching. This Fluco strap was exactly what I had in mind. Like the other Fluco leather straps I own, this one did not disappoint - the watch looks amazing on this strap. I ordered a brushed stainless Fluco deployant clasp to pair with the strap.
While installing the clasp I noticed that the strap seemed a bit short. I looked at the tag and found that I forgot to select the standard length. Fortunately, I was able to make it work by moving the adjustable keeper to the buckle side of the fixed keeper. It's now the perfect size to maintain a proper fit as my wrist changes diameter with temp and humidity changes, and the keepers cover all but the last 2-3mm of the lower strap. The clasp is off-center but the the watch stays centered on my wrist. No complaints whatsoever.
I may eventually order a standard Fluco Dublin strap, but I'm in no rush. The fit is great, quality is fantastic for this price point, and it exactky what I was hoping to find for this watch. As with other Fluco straps that I own, it very comfortable, and it's beautiful besides. I can't recommend the Fluco Dublin enough, and Holben's customer service has been exceptional over the past decade or so, since I began buying from them.
Bought this strap for my Seiko Willard and it's the perfect match. Very comfortable on the wrist and the smell of vanilla is a nice, classy touch. Would definitely buy from again!
The navy leather looks great in person and having a stainless clasp makes it comfortable on the wrist. Made my old watch look refreshed and new. The pin attachment is also easy without tools. Definitely worth it.
I recently picked up the green Artem sailcloth strap from Holben's, and honestly, it’s even better than I expected. The shade of green looks amazing—deep and subtle, not flashy at all. What surprised me most was how soft it felt straight out of the box. Most straps like this are stiff as a board at first, but this one molded to my wrist almost immediately. The stitching is clean, and the rubber lining makes it super comfortable for daily wear.Also, a quick shoutout to Holben's for the awesome service. Shipping was incredibly fast, and everything was packed perfectly. Ordering was smooth from start to finish. Artem really nailed the quality here, and Holben’s delivered top-notch service as usual. It’s definitely a premium upgrade that breathes new life into my watch
The watch band is of excellent quality. Unfortunately, the wrong color was sent and I had to return it.
I want to emphasize the wonderful customer service provided by this company. They apologized for the error and were prompt to respond and provide a return shipping label.
Great upgrade on the horrible stock strap on my green Seiko Alpinist. I’m sure it will look even better after some time. I I ordered the short strap for my small wrist (at best 16.5cm) and it is almost too small, only 2 holes to spare, so I feel the fitting description could be a little better. Overall I’m very happy with the strap, but I should’ve gone with the regular size. I would say go short if you’re wrist is very very small.
Incredibly fast shipping, great quality for the price. I plan to pick up a couple more straps in the near future.
This is the fourth Staib band I have purchased from Holben’s. Needless to say the bands are terrific. Impeccable craftsmanship, aesthetics, and performance.
Holbens likewise is consistently excellent both in terms of responsiveness and offers the lowest prices on Staib bands.
Love the strap but if you have larger than approx 7.25 in wrist its best to look atnother models. I purchased for my breitking avenger and loved the look but the strap barely made it through both loops.
Very happy with this one! I have never owned an original tropic strap, but this one from Fluco feels and looks great. My only gripe is the buckle holes are spaced quite far apart and on my Caravelle Sea Hunter, the last hole is a little too tight and the next one is a little too loose. It is also quite long for my little 16cm wrist.
Color is accurate to the photos and it matches the blued hands on my Stowa so well. The texture is even and feels really nice. On my 16cm wrist it fits on the last hole, and the watch has a 45mm lug-to-lug. Watch out for that if you have smaller wrists and smaller watches, especially since the holes are spaced quite far apart. I had some other Flucos in this order and they all seem to be good quality, what you'd expect at the price point. The craftsmanship is great but the leather will need some time on the wrist to break in.
Ordered for my reverse panda dial Seiko chronograph and I love how it looks. The white stitching matches the subdials well. On my 16cm wrist, it fits at the second to last hole. I like how the holes are spaced closely to get a more accurate fit. I had some other Flucos in this order and they all seem to be good quality, what you'd expect at the price point. The craftsmanship is great but the leather will need some time on the wrist to break in.
Wow. I gambled on this, only having one watch in mind to put a mystery strap on and it matches just about perfectly. I got the royal blue stripe, which I actually probably wouldn't have chosen since the grey color looks different on the website. In the flesh, it has a sort of greenish hue to it which I love and is actually very similar to the leather strap I use on my Yema. I feel extremely lucky and am very happy:)
Holben's has a great selection of leather straps so I knew I would get something good, but I was genuinely surprised with what I got. I wouldn't have chosen a bright green strap but it looks really great on my Stowa. The short version was the right call, it fits very nicely on my 16cm wrist. I had some other Flucos in this order and they all seem to be good quality, what you'd expect at the price point. The craftsmanship is great but the leather will need some time on the wrist to break in.
Well crafted elegant strap. I have a very narrow wrist, so the shorter size is a real plus for me. I am planning to order more straps for a few of my other watches.
Top of the line Rallye strap. Excellent workmanship and materials. This one features the double in buckle which really makes a difference in fit and comfort. DiModell makes a great strap at a very reasonable price. Far superior to other similarly priced straps in my experience.
The beige strap looks and feels great on my Khaki Field silver dial. The first order I made got lost by USPS, and when I alerted Holben, the owner Mike quickly got back to me and sent another order. Great product and excellent customer service, which is rare.
The strap arrived here in England promptly and exactly as described.
Excellent service from Holbens as always.
Beautiful bracelet and very complimentary on several of my watches. I especially like it on my Zenith Chronomaster.
I was looking for a high quality black leather strap for a neo-vintage piece and this fit the bill. Upon receipt I was struck by how much the vegan leather feels like calf skin leather. It looks as good as it feels. High quality strap and highly recommend. Also, no import fees by ordering from Holben’s instead of Colareb directly.
