Need help finding new straps for Vostok Amphibia

[chichiri20x7]

I am having a hard time finding good looking 18mm straps for the Vostok Amphibia. I tried the 18mm 2 piece Zulu and it looks too thin. Right now I have it on a rubber strap that I found at Target which I really like since its 20mm all around except for where it connects to the watch. I tried looking through the Show your Amphibian thread but its hard to tell where everyone got their straps from. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Some suggestions:

A Russian military style strap:




Another option borrowed:

Also, from ebay seller shoecare2628: "18mm Straight End Steel Watchband For Longines"

Have you tried a leather Nato lot thicker than regular ones.

Mesh perhaps?

Regular Nato


Seiko style rubber

Leather Shark print

All straps got off the bay by the way

While I like NATOs on my Amphibian Radio Room:



I love this rubber strap on my regular Amphibian:



IIRC I got it at Amazon and I believe the original maker is Bonetto Cinturini, an Italian OEM strap company.

Radio Room? Head over to Timefactors and buy the Smiths PRS-28 Radio Room Watch. It doesn't have lume but its still a solid value in a Radio Room watch.

..but its hard to tell where everyone got their straps from. ....

Same problem here. "got it from the bay" seems to me about as detailed as "get it at local store". Maybe we're over thinking this - just order something that says 18mm.

I've decide to keep mine on the original bracelet for a while. It pulls hair like crazy, but gee whiz it looks incredibly shiny. And nobody that looks at it knows how incredibly cheap it feels.

Spend some time looking on the 'bay' and you will find something you like, combine that with watchbandcenter.com and you should be sorted.

I'm afraid i can't remember every seller off *bay i ever bought a strap from over the years so off the bay is as detailed as i can do, i think half the fun is looking, take some time to search, it's what i did, you'll find something you like.


Cheers

There's something about the colouring of the Smiths that just doesn't work for me.
