After trying a number of 'traditional' strap makers and their designs, I was about ready to give up on ever finding a durable, comfortable and good-looking watch band. Even though the DaLuca straps seemed a little expensive, I liked the simple design and the quality of leathers used. I decided to try a couple and it's proved to be one of the best choices I've made in my watch hobby. Your straps are by far the most comfortable I've worn, easy to care for and seem like they'll last a long time.
I've also recently tried a couple of Italian-made Panerai style straps, and they're certainly nice. But their multi-layer construction produces a thick, somewhat stiff strap. And the inner made-made layer is just not very comfortable on the wrist. So that's why I've become a fan of DaLuca straps. There's really nothing else like them. Also, your customer service is simply A+. Best of all, DaLuca straps are made in America and a wide selection of ready-made designs are available (I just can't see waiting weeks for an order). I'm sure I'll be back for more straps.
