Classy, subtle, and comfortable strap

This is the third one of these Fluco suede leather straps I've purchased from Holben's; I have one on a Seiko railroad watch, and another on an Omega Seamaster quartz. This time it went on this quartz Seiko eBay find. No break-in needed, very comfortable, and couldn't have matched the color more perfectly. Definitely recommended, an easy way to class up any watch.

Great watch band

This is the second one I’ve had. The first was on my Tissot that worked great until the watch flooded. Now I’m wearing one on my Doxa 300 and it’s just as comfortable as my last one. I dive with it and it hold up well. A little trimming was needed as it was a little too wide but easy to fit.
These bands are very comfortable and look great.

Another Winner 🥇

Just put this 19mm taupe colored Biarritz (Montana) goatskin band on my Longines Heritage and man does it ever look great, (atleast to me anyhow) LOL… Love this color and it is a little more on the gray side and exactly what I was looking for… I have another one of these Biarritz bands so I knew just how supple and comfortable it would be…. Love the taper of the band from 19mm to 16mm It makes a difference in comfort…I put a Longines buckle to complete the look…. Highly recommend this band on a dress watch and a sports watch as well…. As usual Mike at Holben’s was not only helpful and answers inquiries quickly but shipped the band like “greased lightning”….! Once again Holben’s gets a 5 STAR 💫 rating…💯👍

ColaReb Vegan Watch Strap

Recently purchased the ColaReb Vegan Watch strap from Holben’s. Received in a few days. Great delivery service. The strap is soft and looks nice. Intended to use for my Seiko Solar Chronograph brown stainless steel everyday watch. Replaced the old ones with ColaReb strap, it looks very nice. You can see in the pic below. Easy to put it on with quick-release stainless steel spring bars. They got a good grip and fitted as they should. Overall greatly satisfied.

Best strap you'll ever own

I've purchased 15-20 Erika's straps over the years and never been disappointed once. They are a bit pricey, but still an excellent investment when compared to the cost of run of the mill NATO and MN straps that will eventually end up at the bottom of a drawer, unused.

Good band

The Deauville is a quality band at a fair price. I paired it with a vintage Seiko I received in 1985. The watch is Goldtone and pairs nicely with the black leather of the Deauville.

I’m also pleased with the customer service. This was a replacement to a previous purchase that didn’t work out and it was a hassle free exchange.

Had the watch band for a couple of weeks now. I'm going to say that this has been one of the best leather watch bands I've ever worn. Leather is well crafted, finishing is fantastic and it's soft so there's no need to "break in". Matched my brown band with a vintage blue dial Slava MIG-29 from the USSR. I would definitely be buying Fluco bands again for my other more expensive aviator watches.

Klip on Stefanny Blue

Once I placed my preorder for the Studio Underd0g 02Series Field Stefanny, the search for the perfect strap / bracelet to pair with it was on. Naturally, I looked to Forstner to meet the challenge. There is no doubt that the 02Series Field oozes 1940s WW2 aesthetics. I was hopeful that Forstner’s Bonklip offering, the Klip, would fit the bill. Spolier alert, it certainly did!

I placed the order and it conveniently arrived one week before I even the watch arrived. I was anxious annd I scrambled for another watch I already owned that has an 18mm lug width. Though I do not have any pictures of it, the Klip pairs very well with the Timex Q GMT. But once the 02Series Field arrived, I was blown away by the result of when I finally slapped the bracelet on. I cannot praise the comfort of the bracelet, and the combination makes me wonder why Richard of Studio Underd0g never offered a Bonklip bracelet option at the watch’s release.

Sometimes, discovering a watch and aftermarket strap / bracelet pairing on your own is more special. This was certainly one of those cases. Now, I’m looking at the Komfit and Ladder bracelet models to inject some more of that neo-vintage flavor in my watchbox.

My Favorite Band

This thin, light weight, flexible band with a nice amount of stretch is my go to pick for multiple watches.
I removed the extra pass of rubber and the extra metal keepers to create the most comfortable single pass strap I own.
This strap is very long apparently to allow wearing over a wet suit, but it cuts down very easily with a razor blade, knife , or sharp scissors to allow a custom length of tail after the keeper.
A plastic water bottle lid or coin made a nice guide for cutting the end to perfect length.
Ordering more for sure!

High quality thick leather

Very happy with this strap. Have had it 2 and a bit years with nearly daily wear. Molded to my wrist very quickly. Stitching has held up well. Definitely see it lasting the life of the watch. The last hole fits my 6 and 3/4”wrist, had to add a shorter one for when it’s cold.

Classy thin strap

Bought this to put on my grandads 40+ year old Seiko. It fits the covered lugs no problem. Soft but quality made like all Fluco straps.

Very comfortable, great for big watches

Great strap. Easy to adjust. A little complicated to put on initially. I really like how secure and comfortable it keeps my Orient Defender 2 against my wrist. Small scratch on buckle after nearly a year of frequent use

The Art of Living.🥂

Extremely fast delivery!
A first class experience.

This strap smells like heaven.😎

Highly satisfied with my purchase and will definitely consider buying more FLUCO watch straps in the future. The rich blue color of this watch strap adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any timepiece. The material not only looks luxurious but also provides durability and comfort for everyday wear. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a stylish and reliable accessory for their watch.

A Leather Strap Icon

I don't believe there is a more comfortable, handsome, and well made leather strap for the money. I loved it on my Seiko SARX043 and it took my Baby Alpinist to a whole new level!

This strap is superb!

Just received this strap this morning. After wearing all day it feels as I don't have watch on my wrist. After trying many Nato straps this one is the best. It is even more comfortable then Tudor! Ordering another one right now....

Beautiful strap

Really nice strap that I have been wearing on a vintage Rolex 6426 with a redone explorer style dial. Great to have this option in the somewhat difficult to find 19mm. Looks refined and versatile.

Perfect for the FXD

Another stunner and perfect matching color for my FXD. If you have an FXD you must have one of these straps. Also shipping is super fast, only few days from west to east coast.

Another Stunner Combo

Just like the denim MN I bought for my Blue Pelagos this Navy w/ red stripe works perfectly w/ my BB GMT. I ordered my 1st MN [2018] directly from Erika for my 7.25" wrist. These straps are made for 7" wrists and although a bit shorter they fit fine. Buying from Holben's saved me time & $$.

A Perfect Match!

As a previous MN owner I already knew how great these straps were. But while visiting Holben's website I stumbled upon the MN denim and found the perfect match for my blue Pelagos. Durable [still wearing an MN from 2018], super comfortable, & with all protection found on a standard NATO, make this a great option for my Pelagos.

Very Nice

I am very happy with my purchase. This leather strap is well made. The leather touching your skin is very comfortable and silky. I have put my strap on my titanium Boddery and it is a nice complement to the whole watch.

Short strap fits 6.25" wrist very well

The fluco strap has a nice, soft feel to it and bears a resemblance(somewhat) to the original Junghans strap. It comes with one set of spring bars. Bergeon 6767-F is what I use to replace the strap.
It seems that the strap length is slightly shorter than what was indicated on the website. My measurement is 103/68mm. The lug to lug length of my Junghans Max Bill 34mm Handaufzug is only 37mm (The lug to lug span of most watches is around 44-48mm). I used the third or second shortest hole on the strap. I like that the pointed end of the strap doesn't wrap around the side of my wrist.
btw, I can't seem to find this model, FLUCO CHICAGO HORWEEN SHELL CORDOVAN on Fluco website. Well, as long as it works, I don't mind.
Thank you Mike :)

Beautiful and Reasonably Priced Strap

Great strap for a VERY reasonable price. Looks great on my newly purchased 1940s Hamilton Cambridge! As always, Holben's is the best.

Simply the best

This is my second Erika’s originals and they are just fantastic pieces. Going on 4 years with my original one that I wear with my SNA411. Had to get one for my SBBN031 and it looks fantastic. Amazing product, love that Holben’s carries them! Thank you for offering these!

Great watch strap; see photos for color

I'm very satisfied with the Fluco Snow Calf Tan Leather 22m that I recently ordered for my Orient. Quick shipping and a nice note from the owner. It can be hard to know what color to expect with tan leather, so I am sharing some photos, one of which contrasts it with a chocolate brown leather belt, a weave mid-brown belt, and a bamboo spoon. This array of brown tones will give an accurate expectation. The photo against my jeans outdoors is very color-accurate. It is still very comfortable, looks very well made, and will pair best anywhere from jeans to chinos. Thanks Holben's!
