Excellent strap for my Tank

Needed a new strap for a new-to-me Tank and this was just what I was looking for! Really quality materials and just lovely on the watch. 👍

Great Match for Vintage Longines

I needed a black strap for my vintage Longines dress watch. The lugs are 17mm in width and I have a slim wrist, so there aren't many choices for a 17mm short strap. The alligator grain provides visual interest and the leather is of high quality. All in all, I'm pleased that Hirsch makes a variety of strap sizes and lengths and that Holben's has them in stock at a price that doesn't break the bank.

So nice I bought it twice

This is my second Artem sailcloth strap and I absolutely love it. Not to mention I think it looks great on my Hamilton “Coop”

Awesome quality

This band costs more than other brands that I looked at/tried, but it's worth it. Love the quality, feel and fit.

Very disappointed

This looked great in the pics. When i received it I was surprised at how cheap it felt and looked. Stamped clasp and hollow end links add to the cheapness. I was going to put this on a vintage Breitling but no way would I degrade the Breitling by doing that. Instead I've put it on a "beater" watch.

I should never have removed the plastic and just sent it back. Too late now.

I have bought many straps and bracelets from this site and have never been disappointed like I am now. This is a $32 item not one for &132.

Don't buy it!

Supple, flexible, of quality leather

I’ve been trusting Fluco to make decent priced and quality straps for a while now. So when my mothers watch needed a new pair.. I didn’t think twice to pick another up from Holbens/Fluco. I can tell this strap will last a couple years if not more.

Beautiful strap, great service – worth the splurge

I don’t usually splurge on watch straps, but I recently bought a vintage watch and wanted something special to match it. The Hirsch Boston Gold Brown Genuine Buffalo Leather strap exceeded my expectations—it's gorgeous, incredibly comfortable, and the quality is miles above the aftermarket straps I usually buy.

I have a small wrist, so I was especially happy to find something this high-end that actually fits well. Shipping was fast (less than a week), and when I accidentally ordered the wrong size, customer service was quick, courteous, and updated my order right away. Great product, great experience—highly recommended.

Super soft and almost velvety.

Really comfy strap that goes very well with the vibe of the vintage Q Timex I helped bring back to life.

Great as always from Haveston & Holben's

I have had some experience with Haveston and knew what I would be getting and the product never disappoints. Very comfortable and way classier-looking than your typical NATO. I only wish more variants were available in single-pass like the green, I don't love having to modify the strap myself by cutting off the double pass but it's worth it for the result.

Fluco Quality

A dress watch deserves a dressy strap. My vintage Seiko 61-8019 from 1970 has understated good looks and I needed a strap that would complement the classic dial. The subtle grain of the Fluco Record Buffalo-Grain adds visual interest to an otherwise conservative black strap. I appreciate the supple leather which requires almost no break-in and feels comfortable on the wrist right away. Kudos to both Fluco and Holben's having what I need in stock and at a fair price.

Buckle tongue snags on clothing

This is the second Eulit Panama I have purchased. The first was great. Attractive, comfortable, endlessly adjustable. However, the second has a different buckle and the tongue doesn't sit flush like the first does. This leads to it snagging on clothing to that point that it was unwearable. I don't know if this was due to the different sizes 18mm vs 20mm or that it was 2 years between purchases. New, snagging, 20mm buckle on the left and older, smooth, 18mm buckle on the right.

Quality strap, but buckle side a bit short

Comfortable, good looking strap. I like perlon for summer wear since it's good in the water and easy to fine adjust. My only issue with this strap is that the buckle side strap is a bit short for my wrist (7.25"). When the watch is well centered, the buckle ends up well to the side. Obviously the one-piece perlon straps don't have this issue, but the buckle on the 20mm Panama I bought snagged on clothing.

Perfect Match for Vintage Seiko

Fluco and Holben's come through, again. I needed a quality strap for a circa 1974 Seiko 7006-8059, the watch I wore during my high school years. I had misplaced it for decades and recently found it; surprisingly, it runs accurately but the strap had long rotted. I think the brown Teju lizard-grain is a perfect match for the dial color and the gold cushion-style case. I have a small wrist and prefer a short strap, as well as the convenience of quick-release spring bars. Finally, the leather should be of a high-quality. The Fluco met all my criteria and Holben's had it in stock at a very reasonable price.

Looks great!

Band looks great and is comfy! Slightly vintage look. Only thing is I have it on the tightest position and it is marginally loose. I can add another hole if I need to, I just don't think I should need to... I have 6" wrist. Pictured is FLUCO HUNTER WHISKEY 18mm on 38mm hamilton khaki aviation pilot pioneer. I've had the strap for several months

Excellent service, as usual.

I have made numerouse purchases from Holben's and all have resulted in a quality prodect at a good price and delivered quickly.
The Fluco Tropical Blue FKM Rubber Quick Release Watch Strap is a perfect match for my RZE UTD-8000

More Casual Strap Looks Great

This strap immediately replaced the original dressy black leather band with deployant clasp (no!) on my Orient Star Gothic Heritage automatic. The Whiskey Fluco Biarritz gives the watch a much more casual look and is a perfect addition.

Fine quality revived cherished watch

I recently replaced an automatic 30+ year old Raymond Weil watch that was my grandfather's. The quality of the band is great, reviving a timeless piece.

comfortable

It's very light and comfortable. It's easy to micro adjust because there are no fixed holes.

Next level strap

I was a little apprehensive due to price, but after wearing it a few times, I get it.
The quality is excellent, it’s extremely comfortable ( once broken in) and it looks great on my Bulova Lunar Pilot.

Excellent strap

I purchased this strap for my Dan Henry 1964. I really prefer the thicker strap because the watch doesn't slide around too much. Very pleased with the purchase.

Gorgeous

Everything I expected and more

High quality perfect fit

Got it for my apple watch series 10 42mm (the smaller one). Lug width is 22mm for straps which is perfect. Perfect fit, no play. Happy with the quality.

Beautiful Strap!

The quality and beauty of this style of strap is perfect. I love it and it's very easy to install, l highly recommend this strap to all customers. A+++

Beautiful Strap for vintage Date Just

For the price this is a fantastic strap with quality construction and attention to detail. It is a perfect strap for vintage timepieces and the strap should only get better with age. Thank Holben’s for adding the gold buckle and fast shipping. Good to know you can get a great strap and great service.

Top notch!!

I have three MN straps now and will only grow my collection. I've never had a band/trap is comfortable and innovative, simple but unique, stylish but also gives a “dress down" option for anyone that needs it.
