Yup, they're a little pricey but the styles just don't do it for me - only one I'd consider is the Tonda which is probably the most pedestrian looking one. When you get into Bovet that's a whole different stratosphere.

alright
pulled the trigger on a couple of Hirsch Rally straps for my silver Speedy date
couldn't figure out which shade of brown would look best...so bought two....figured best way to tell is to line them both up to the actual watch and pick
the darker brown

the golden brown

and after googling around for info on their deployants the best advice I saw said you have to try both to see which one suits you best
ok
so I bought both
the pusher

and the sport

it's gonna be cool changing this piece up a bit after wearing it for 9 years with the bracelet
Cool...I surfed around the Hirsch site (they are Austrian - established 1765 or something like that!!) today but didnt like any of them. Ordered a Di Modell black leather Rallye GT strap (big holes) with white stitching made in Germany from a place in Seattle - $ 36 USD shipped to my pals place in Buffalo.

Been wearing the Speedy every day, hoping the new strap looks as good as in the pics - a little thicker and sportier than the Omega dressy black one that's on it. Will definitely flip the Omega deploy over as well.
Have managed NOT to buy another watch, and have resisted looking at all the ebay emails as well, lol.
props to the folks at Hirsch
ordered less than a week ago from their UK dealer...had it sent via Royal Mail
arrived at my office today
its nice stuff.....now I gotta choose
I may have to take a look at them also. I'd like a black strap for my Zenith but I'm not sure I can get the correct size from Zenith since they don't offer my watch with a black strap and the models that do are at least 3mm larger so may not work on mine.
1mm wider from what I've been sold/told from Hirsch is no problem to fit in the lugs for a strap (bracelet has to be exact obviously)....but anything wider than 1mm is looking for trouble cause it squeezes the strap too much
the straps I ordered are 20mm at the lugs and the piece is 19mm....they said no problem but sent me 19mm pins cause the pins have to be exact.....they gave me like 12 pins with the 2 straps...so good on them
I've now checked the straps against the watch and the 1mm diff should be no issue...it's leather and seems there's no squeeze at all...but 2 extra mm would definitely be an issue
decision made....dark brown with sport deployant....it's a no brainer...getting it swapped tomorrow
gonna completely change the piece...it's going from subtle-but-awesome-when-you-look-closer......to.....I-must-have-that
amazing how much swapping a bracelet for a proper strap can transform a watch
before it was subtle.....now it screams racing heritage
it lost some weight dropping the bracelet....the new strap is serious quality and the deployant works mint.....will definitely by Hirsch again
