Hey fediverse, I’m wondering if there are any sellers on here that make #wriswatch straps or know of a small company that does. I have a Seiko 5 sport automatic that needs a new something. Leather, canvas NATO, whatever.
Can anyone point me to a small business?
@brainofdane If you can stomach the trackers, ads, etc that "WatchUSeek" forum website now uses, then check the "Straps & Bracelets" forum https://forums.watchuseek.com/f222/ .
Last time I checked, reading alone did not require an account; would need one if you would want to post your own query.
@ax6761 it has been a while since I’ve thought about that forum. That’s where I bought my first mechanical watch. I’ll have to see if anything strikes my fancy.
@brainofdane not sure what local means to you but I just bought one from https://finwatchstraps.com/
@brainofdane I’m curious of any recommendations you might get as well. I can’t quite find a style of band I’m totally happy with to the point I’ve thought about ~just~ learning how to make my own 
@micahilbery I've thought about making my own as well! 😅
It doesn't seem like I stirred up any interest on my post, though. The #watch hashtag doesn't appear to really be about watches, but I was expecting there to be a niche crowd here that could help. At the very least, I want to avoid buying a mass-market strap from a big box store or Amazon.
