Is H.R. or Hirsch better for the money? Debeers good? I'm new to getting new watches. Also does anyone have a link to a site that shows you how to change watch bands? I want to get the tools so I can do them myself.

Hi! I got excellent leather straps from: RIOS1931, Di-Modell, Graff, Hirsch and Meyhofer. Changing straps is a child's play. For straps attached to the case with springs bar you need a "spring bar tool":  If the strap is attached with a screwed bar then use a small screwdriver!

I guess it all depends on what you are looking for...ready made or custom made. I'm usually a bracelet kinda guy, although some watches do call for straps. In that case, I like custom. For my money, the best price/performance ratio out there in the custom arena is Orb-Strap.com. Others here really like JnS Straps. I change my straps using either a 1.4mm or a 2.0mm Precision Screwdriver or the small blade of a Swiss Army knife!

Personally speaking,I prefer Hirsch due to the fact that the leather straps are non-hypo allergenic. This Austrian company has been around since 1765 and the leather are of high quality water resistant straps that money can buy. For metal aftermarket bracelets I go for ZRC a French company that offers high quality bracelets without having to pay $$$. Cheers, Simon
