Guide to your choice
To find the best strap for your watch and your wrist, you need to know the different lengths and sizes available. Follow the steps below:
Lug width
To determine the width of the lugs of your watch, use a metric ruler to measure the distance between the two lugs (the protruding ends to which the strap is attached).
Strap length
For optimal use of the watch, it is essential to purchase a strap of a length suitable for your wrist. Measure the length of the last strap that felt comfortable.
Buckle size
All ColaReb straps are supplied with a stainless steel buckle (polished or satin-finished depending on the model), on which the ColaReb logo is engraved. If you want to use the buckle from a previous strap (for example, the one supplied with the watch), compare the size of your buckle with the one in the product description.
Strap thickness
From an aesthetic point of view, thin or flat watches are better matched to thin straps, while robust and large watches require a thicker strap for better ergonomics and a more homogeneous design.
Replacing the strap
To remove the old strap from the lugs of your watch and install the new one, follow the steps below:
The strap is usually attached to the watch with spring bars. Use a spring bar tool to locate the end of the spring bar between the strap and the case.
Then, push in the end of the bar to extract it from the hole in the case and remove the first side of the strap. Perform the same operation on both sides.
Replacing the buckle
To remove the buckle, use a spring bar tool as you would for the strap. Place the tool between the buckle and the strap on one side, and push the end of the spring bar towards the center.
Remove the spring bar using the spring bar tool.

Customer Reviews
This strap goes well with my Grand Seiko SBGN011. I am glad that it has quick release spring bars. The leather is thick and feels sturdy. I think it goes well with watches with big dials.
This is a great band- it looks and feels great, and it came quick in the mail. I have a decent Tissot watch in bough and the leather band eventually broke because it became too brittle. This one is much higher quality. It’s soft to the touch and the stitching detail loos amazing. I’m very pleased with this product.
Gorgeous red/brown soft sheepskin band that really will set whatever watch you put it on, off…! Mike here at Holben’s recommended this band and I’m glad I took his advice…! Beautiful band and the red color really makes this band stand out but not gaudy in any way.. Put it on my Hamilton Chrono and along with my Fluco black Casablanca band and my Fluco Snow Calf band I have more than a variety to put on this strap monster…(Note: I put the Hamilton buckle on this ColaReb band but the buckle it comes with is quality, solid, polished and signed)… The sheepskin leather on this band is super soft and so is the lining and the cream colored stitching makes the band really stand out, looks like a custom made band… Super happy with it… One more thing, Holben’s is the place to get your bands and Mike will go out of his way to help you out with any inquiries about his products… The service he offers is second to none and he has great selection of quality bands and the shipping is like “greased lightning”…! 5 ⭐️’s…!
Well-made, beautiful shade of red, clearly high-quality material. (Won't fit small wrists -- mine is 6.75 in and I'm on next-to-last hole.)
This strap feels like high quality leather. It complements dress watches nicely. I like the color, texture, and stitching. It makes the strap interesting and fun to wear.
The strap is made from high quality materials but the only problem is that it is a bit big for smaller wrists like 7” below.
Very good quality! Actually a deal at $85.00. Have many straps for I am a watch collector. Many are over a hundred(s) of dollars. This is as fine or better than most!
It was beyond my expectations! It feels soft and powerful at the same time. I will buy it again.
