I have a few fin watch straps as well and I would highly recommend these if you have a nice piece. Its icing on the cake and worth the premium price indeed. Its rugged and soft, you cant ask for much more.
good stuff. I feel as you should have made a video exclusively for the Fin straps as it doesn't do them justice side by side with the other straps on there. just got two ordered today. one for my Omega prestige and the other for my Sinn u1 so really excited. keep up the good work!
Thanks Amit - yeah I did think about doing a separate but my spare one and other commitments dictated otherwise at the time. I guess it may have helped to contrast it with a lesser product if anything. Cheers, Ivan.
@@PerthWAtch Hi Ivan - I got this one in 22mm for a Corgeut www.watchgecko.com/bramante-handmade-genuine-leather-watch-strap Really pleased with it and it lifts the watch too!
The Finn Straps are very nice! Check out Vintager straps , guy named Micah makes them here in the US he is very good also! I’ve got 3 of his straps and am very happy with the results , all made to my wrist size which is nice. $155 to $175
What can I say, great choices! :) And another benefit of made to order being that they can do the odd sizes like 23mm, usually very hard to find pre-made!
This particular shark mesh has lengths with screw links you can remove (take a look at the product page)... others have a sliding-type of click lock (eg. My Guanqin "Nomos"). In this case it was still too long for after removing all links, so I had to take off a couple of rows of mesh with a Dremel grinder!
Good question - actually for this mesh strap you can cut through the last row of rings and remove them right off, the adjacent row (now the last row) is untouched. Hope that's clear?
Thanks for that James! Indeed the price is high... felt strange putting it on a watch of less value too! Although it does seem that quite a few viewers have experienced the straps and there is also another company in US making luxury straps for around the same prices.
I think most people who are watching my videos can feasibly afford 50 euros, but taking a bit of perspective, watches as a whole are arguably a thing that is not absolutely needed, it's a bonus or a luxury for many. Straps for changeover are therefore doubly a luxury as they are even less necessary. Taking this into account 50 euros will be considered exorbitant for many.
Actually I think the focusing job on the first 2 minutes was pretty crappy... I'm waiting for someone to tell me to stick to my day job, or some similar effect :D

Cool, thanks for sharing your experience! :)
The shark mesh looks great and thank you for the discount codes.
Most welcome, thanks for watching! :)
I'm thinking that shark mesh would look proper retro on my Turtle , cheers 👍👍
Yes indeed, a Turtle would be a good pairing for that!

Thanks very much Ivan, A nice selection indeed. I really like that blue strap...would look very well on my blue dialed Invicta 22019.
Yeah and I was tempted to pair it with my Invicta 9094 actually :)
Why not go for it. Throw in a quick wrist view of the result in your next video.
I might just do that, thanks for the suggestion :)
I've recently bought some nice straps from Watch Gecko. Very pleased with them for £25-£40 - good value
Cool! Which types did you get?

Hey Ivan, the Invicta looks great on that horween strap, and it's a nice way to dress up an inexpensive watch!! Thanks for the review:)
Thanks Derek - It's a great strap but felt weird putting it on a watch that's worth less than it...
i realize it is kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?
They have great genuine mesh straps on ebay! 😍 love mine i just received only £19
Nice!

Thanks for that - sounds like about the same pricing range then, I shall take a look! :)
I have straps from Finwatchstraps, it is amazing quality, but quality has a price.
Great revieuw, thanx for sharing.
Thanks for that, good to hear of your experience... which types of leather did you choose?
Perth WAtch I have Horween leathers and Derby English Tan coming in, it is a 23mm for my Citizen Promaster Say Eco drive.
What can I say, great choices! :)
And another benefit of made to order being that they can do the odd sizes like 23mm, usually very hard to find pre-made!
Perth WAtch thank You, keep up the good work, I looking forward to see more of your video's.
I like the clasp on the shark mesh. Also those leather straps are nice.
Thanks Sam - personally I would find 130 euros a bit ouch...!
Perth WAtch the mid range ones i really liked - was it £69. Expensive but hand made and really looks good on the Invicta! ;)
Yeah the £69 one is more palatable (sorry not €), and you can choose what leather it's made from too :)
Nice video
Thanks :)
How do you resize a shark mesh strap?

The Fin Watch straps are very nice, but the prices are unrealistic, even silly, for any but the very wealthy.

50 euros is for wealthy people? wow...
