Hello all,

I have searched and even talked to a few AD's but haven't found any solution yet. My wife has a Starliner that's been around for many years.. now with young kids and doing mom things it doesn't get much wrist time - diamond hour markers and bezel are a little flashy for preschool/daily wear!

Looking to try and find (ideally) rubber or leather strap to replace the pilot and 'tone down' the look of it. Haven't found much luck due to the integrated pilot bracelet that these watches come with (older starliner).

Anyone have any ideas? Or know of anyone who makes custom straps with adapter pieces for this type of watch?

Thanks in advance..

Try ABP Paris - http://www.abp-paris.com/abpw/watch_straps_index.php

They can make pretty much whatever you want and in whatever leather you want. I've used them myself as have a number of other guys here. Not the cheapest, but excellent quality, and totally customisable. For totally custom orders like this you will need to email them and not just use their on-line order options process.
