Too much liability in the states, everyone is sue friendly.I wish there were more places to get service around here. Stores won’t even change a watch strap let alone do anything else.

I don't know why finding nice straps in the right size and clasp type is SOOOOO PAINFULL, but it seems like I experience that every time I look for a new strap. Good luck!!I’m trying to get something gaudy like this to replace the broken one on my Blancpain.

Getting spun around in circles trying to order one in the right size and if compatible with my deployant clasp.

@DirtyTIVA it depends upon the clasp type, but in my experience a butterfly should end up sitting relatively in the same place as the buckle so it should generally work fine (unless the strap is crazy thick I guess). Other clasps tend to need a shorter than usual short part of the strap or they'll sit to the side, and you either find a strap meant for a clasp instead of a buckle, or go custom. If the original strap was a good fit for your wrist, would be best to take its measurements and go from there (and make adjustments to the measurements as you see fit).
you have a Blancpain? post photo.
I have a Fifty Fathoms. I replaced the bezel with the grand date bezel since the OEM had a chip. I also have several oem and aftermarket straps.
that watch is gorgeous!I’ve been talking to someone at Timedome in Vegas as they are supposed to be a Jean Rousseau AD. Short of me ordering something bespoke (which will be hard since my address is in California and they frown on words like crocodile), we can’t find something to order before my next trip to Vegas for EDC.

All my other gold watches don’t have brown straps anymore so visually I’d like to do something different here as well. Hence metallic gold croc or even semi matte flat croc. I like the feel of thin alligator from 20 years ago. All of todays alligator straps seem to be thick.
Check out ABP Concept? They have a number of leathers- might find something cooler.I’ve been talking to someone at Timedome in Vegas as they are supposed to be a Jean Rousseau AD.
