If you haven’t jumped on the changing out your watch strap to spice things up (without having to shell out for a new watch) bandwagon yet, now is the time and Bas and Lokes are the people. They have over thirty different straps available in 20mm – 26mm lug widths. They are precisely what your (brace yourselves, this is long) Panerai, Omega, Bell & Ross, Kobold, IWC, Breitling, Rolex, Oris, Citizen, Patek, Lum-Tec (you get the idea, they’re all good quality, expensive time pieces) needs to stand apart from the investment banker behind you and the venture capitalist in front of you at Starbucks. The straps themselves come in every possible leather finish and they sell custom buckles too if you need one of those. Since they start at seventy-five bones they aren’t exactly cheap, but you’re not putting them on a Casio so that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
