TRUSTED AND PREFERRED VENDORS LIST

I thought it would be a handy to list all the vendors I shop at and trust.  I have spent my own money at these businesses and the product shipped was both as described and shipped quickly. This is not final of course, as I buy more straps form around the world, I will write about them and if they are trustworthy and sell what they say are selling I will add to this list.

Bulang and Sons – Bulang and Sons is a style statement for the understated. The confident and casual watch lovers that have a taste for timeless quality and nothing to prove to anyone but themselves. The Bulang and Sons collection is carefully curated by Bernhard Bulang. Every item is either designed or hand-picked by Bernhard personally or by a member of our small team.

We want to built long-lasting relationships based on superior service and a personal commitment to bringing a truly unique style for watch lovers.

B&R Bands – Welcome to B & R Bands, a Brooklyn based company specializing in replacement watch straps and accessories. We’re a small family owned business fully run and operated by father and son duo Ron & Barry. The company was established back in 2010, and we can now proudly say that we have been serving the watch community for over a decade. Since it’s founding, our goals and fundamentals remain the same, to deliver a premium product at an affordable price point. We understand that the single most important factor in creating a watch strap is the leather used. Therefore, we source our leathers from some of the most renowned tanneries in the world; Horween Leather Co in Chicago, Badalassi Carlo in Italy, and Tanneries Haas in France to name a few. To ensure you get the right fit, we strive to offer our straps in different lengths, giving you the variants of a custom watch strap without the price tag and lead time. With attention to detail, and a keen sense of style, we are always up to date on the latest designs & trends in the watch industry.
