Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
I try very hard to diversify my content. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also feature them on this channel.
Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress and Ashford.com.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
www.ashford.com
If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:
vario.sg/
and
artemstraps.co...
As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
Below are affiliate links for my absolute favourite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

I have the exact same strap. I can confirm it is excellent for its price ! 👌
It is really impressive. I’m so happy that I came across it.
With the sale now on it might be time to pick up one of these awesome straps
Mine just arrived.
I suspect my strap is vinyl, faced with a membrane thick layer of genuine leather that gives the appearance and smell. In the video, you can see the underside of the non-buckle part of the strap, towards the spring bar end shows a join. It’s beautifully done and looks great, but I have my doubts about it being 100% genuine leather. There is also an unusually ‘springiness’ in the two parts of the strap, more congruent with a type of vinyl. Mine had 3 spring bars and a cheap spring bar tool too!
I have zero complaints at this price and it’s gone on a £45 Berny watch. I’m overall very happy. Many thanks 🙏
Thanks for WATCHing
@@WATCHingJames You have a great channel James! Many thanks for your hard work in bringing these extremely valuable videos to us. I appreciate the time and effort you take to put them together!
I got the same strap last month for my AD2030 and it's incredible. The size is also great since most ali straps are 80+125 instead of the 75+115 I need.
That’s great.
Thanks for WATCHing
I just bought this during their sale and literally got it shipped with taxes for $1.54. Thanks for the recommendation!
Wow that’s amazing
They are classified as oiled vintage leather strap. I have numerous and can verify what James is saying. Just make sure you get the quick release straps. Perfect size for a 7 inch wrist if you have one.
Good to hear you found them too.
Thanks for WATCHing
Hey guys! I wanted to follow up on a comment I made on here, under (cat Fimple) my wife. The four straps that I ordered arrived. Please to tell everyone that they are fantastic! I live in the US (las vegas) and was able to order them for under $8 a piece. I actually paid $21 for all four, because they offered one at .99 for first time buyer. They smell like a new leather jacket, and are truly comfortable. These could be $30+ straps, easily. I put the lighter leather one on a Bulova (Sinatra) "fly me to the moon" watch, I could not stand the butterfly strap it came with. The new strap now makes the watch look like a true vintage watch from the 50's...I actually got several compliments when I wore it the other day! it makes the watch look that good. I put the darker one on a seiko cocktail time, with a green dial the "mockingbird"...and again it looks fantastic, although I havent wore that one out yet. The cocktail time also had a butterfly clasp, that dug into my skin, which I hated...so I never wore it. I am going to buy a handful more to have for the future. Hope this helps. Viva Las Vegas!
That is fantastic to hear.
Thanks for letting us know.
Thanks for the timely video. I've blasted through a bunch of "Sale Videos" over the past few days and this is the only one that resonated with me. Maybe a new strap for my Vaer is in the offing?
That would be nice.
I’m glad it was helpful.
Thanks for WATCHing
My God. $10 AUD? That’s like $.57 USD! Ha! Seriously. That’s a hell of a deal. Thanks!
Hahahahaha. Yes it is.
They charged me 99 cents American for one, increased to $1.52 because “tax.” Enjoy the lavish affiliate commission, James.
Great stuff. Keep up the Great work James! Thank you for this. 👍
It is a great strap.
Good video I need a blue leather strap to save a love affair with a certain watch. Cheers
I have a blue Artem strap that serves me well when I need blue.
Thanks for WATCHing
Hi James
Great channel great content
I’m going straight to Ali now to order thanks
That’s great to hear. It really is fantastic and worth grabbing one.
Thanks so much for WATCHing
Good find, thanks James 👍🏼
Thanks for WATCHing
Hey, MY leather straps!
All my watches are equipped with them.
Love them so much.
Thin, light, comfortable as f.
.
The only problem I have... I do not know how to discolour them.
The aliexpress photos have lighter tone.
The ones I receive are darker.
I think the more you wear them the more they will change colour.
Thanks for WATCHing
Great video James! I love it when you or anyone else shares about accessories that are good, it really helps in my buying decision. Thanks James, Cheers
I’m so impressed with this strap I had to share it.
Thanks for WATCHing
Thanks for the heads up James! I bought 4! they offered one for .99 and the other 3 for less than $7! I was definitely in the market, but like you , every strap I looked at was expensive. I was actually swapping one Timex leather strap between 3 to 4 watches in my rotation. lol! So these will be welcomed. BTW, The Snoopy Timex looks fantastic! Thanks for doing this quick video, you made my day. All the way from Las Vegas NV. -Rick (I am on my wifes computer..thats why you see Cat in the signature).
Where and how did you get the $0.99 price? You are taking about USD also, right? You were going to James' provided link, right?
Wow. That’s awesome.
@@bfair6284 Yes, I bought them USD (I live in the states). They gave me the .99 strap, for being a first time customer. I thought it was odd because I have ordered a few times on Ali express before. It must have been because I was on my wifes macbook? The last times I had ordered was on my imac desk top upstairs?? Yes. I ordered through James provided affiliate link. Just to be clear the .99 offer was for only ONE strap. I tried to order more at that price, but it would not allow me. The other three straps I purchased were under $7 though. I purchased 2 lighter brown straps (the one James showed us), 1 dark brown, and 1 greyish black one, all 4 for $21 and some change...free shipping (but that could have been a first time order thing too? Come to think of it, I did create an account on my wifes computer (I was using Apple Pay)..I am on the desk top I mentioned and just looked at my order history, and it doesnt show the straps, just the other few things I purchased, but it does show it on her laptop, so apparently she now has an Ali express account too! LOL!
@@bfair62840.99 price should appear at the link if you qualify... it shows for me in browser when im not logged in, as a "first time buyer" discount. But if i log in my app the price is $9, either because of my location or because im not a new account 😢
Wow that’s a great deal! Good looking strap
I’m really impressed by it.
It is the only cheap leather strap that I’ve come across that I actually like.
It looks like it was meant to be on that Snoopy! The leather looks vegetable tanned and great quality!
I’m still surprised that it is so inexpensive.
Thanks for WATCHing
Thanks for showing us. I’d really like to try a leather strap in a subby style watch as seen on the earliest Bond films with Sir Sean Connery
That would look great
So this is the same strap that came on the Kjngsbury MS4 that was so great. Incredible strap (and watch).
That’s the one.
That’s how I found it.
When I bought the MS4, all the leather strap versions were gone so I bought mine on the green NATO.
I then found this strap on Ali, you guys just confirmed it’s the same.
I think they got it right for that watch.
I also bought a black with a hint of red strap from this line to go on my wife’s Cronos Explorer.
Thumbs up for the intro alone.
Thanks for WATCHing
Great video. I will purchase a bunch as I trust your judgement. Thank You!
You will not be disappointed. They are really nice and supper comfortable
Looks like crazy horse leather. Cheap but nice looking oil 'tanned' leather. I have some here that I was going to make a bund with but, I like to just keep my watches on the suede side of it
Thanks for WATCHing
Hi James. I’m in the UK and the link doesn’t work for me. What’s the name of the store you get these from as I’d like to get a couple of leather straps during the sale. Thanks.
That is a shame. It appears that it might be location dependant.
I bought them from : REMZEIM Official Store
Thanks for the information. Just ordered three whilst they’re on sale.
Works in Canada.
We would have liked some quick spring bars, but at this price you can't have everything, right? Thanks for the advice, James. 😊👋
That was my thought too.
Thanks for WATCHing
Mine had 3 spring bars and a cheap spring bar tool too! Sadly, I suspect my strap is vinyl, faced with a membrane thick layer of genuine leather that gives the appearance and smell. In the video, you can see the underside of the non-buckle part of the strap, towards the spring bar end shows a join. It’s beautifully done and looks great, but I have my doubts about it being 100% genuine leather. There is also an unusually ‘springiness’ in the two parts of the strap, more congruent with a type of vinyl.
I have zero complaints at this price and it’s gone on a £45 Berny watch. I’m overall very happy 🙏
How's the strap? No issues with the longevity so far?
No problems at all.
Or pay a little more for a BluShark Strap and support a US business ❤️
They do look very nice. But are 10-20 times the cost.
I think these AliExpress straps are great to have as an easy option.
Then get a nice strap, like the BluShark, for a special watch.
The link doesn't work anymore, do you have another source for this great strap?

@@WATCHingJames thank you! It seems that the problem is on my side and the strap is not available for my location for some reason.
Sorry about the false report, I just like to recommend people on reddit this video when they ask about straps and wanted to make sure it works since for me it says it's not available in my region.
That’s a shame. Sorry about that
thank you James! ive been looking for a 23-24mm bund leather strap, do you have any idea where i can get a good and affordable one?
The best Bund I have comes from Vario. But not sure about sizes.
@@WATCHingJames cool thx, ill check it out.. 😊
Price has gone up 50% already
That is a shame
They are .99 USD during the current sale. Insane
That is amazing
I order some and I Will let you know how good or not they are as soon I will get IT.
I’ve really enjoyed mine and will always have a couple in my collection now.
I received my strap. Yes they are good!😊
how do you compare to the strap in kingsbury watch it is very similar?
It is the same strap
Sold out on the 20mm already
That’s a shame. I’m sure they will restock
Great tip and vid, keep up the great work
That price is just for first time users. Everyone that has bought from Aliexpress before will get a far higher price. For EU users the price that price will be AU$14 or €8.50
It would be fair to mention that as this is just about the same as clickbait
Because it is not true.
I’ve bought a few and they are now listed, in the sale, for $11.11aud. Which is about $7.20usd
There is shipping and taxes as there always is.
But that varies depending on which country you live in.
And also if you buy 2 they give you free shipping
@@WATCHingJames well using your link i get a price of €8.10 each with €1.99 shipping or with free shipping if i buy for more than €10.-
Check out some of the other comments too. Some people are getting them for .99 cents.
Unfortunately it seems that prices vary depending on where you are located. Even using the same link.
Can anyone tell me if there's a replacement bracelet or strap for the Bulova Men's Modern - 97D120?
Try a website called “masters in time”. They do a lot of genuine spares for different brands.
@@WATCHingJames They don't seem to have the bracelet for my watch. Only 5 Bulova straps in total on their site. But thanks for trying to help.
This is reduced on Ali from £6.07 to £1 😂 I’m getting a couple, cheers!
That’s fantastic
Excellent
Thanks mate
Why those links Never work in UK?!
Not sure. Sorry
@WATCHingJames Thanks James. It's always the same with those links (not just yours)
'The product can't be sent to your address. Please select a different product or address ' 🤷🏻♂️
Can anyone tell me the measurements of the 20mm and 22mm bracelet?
Length of the tail end is 12.5cm, clasp end including the buckle is 9cm
👍
👍
thank you
Thanks for WATCHing
LooKs greater ❤
It is a great strap
