How often does the letter e occur in:
Evening, I’m looking for a new strap for my late grandfathers Rotary.
I love wearing it but it’s on a very hard and uncomfortable fake croc at the moment and I’m hoping to find something softer and nicer.
The watch is toned rose gold so looking for a chocolate brown calf, maybe shell cordovan if I can find one for sensible money. Watch is 34mm and slim so needs to be thin and unpadded.
Looking up to £50 but will stretch for a good quality.
Any suggestion from experience from trusted sources? No Ebay fake Cordovan etc.
Forgot to mention the lugs are 18mm...

Watch Obsession have a good range of straps that would suit the bill.
Anything by Hirsch is high quality and the two above wont break the bank.
Di-Modell Bali (for example in tan...link, other colours are available) or one of their other straps?
Take a look on ukwatchstraps they have a huge selection of quality straps at good prices.
I had a similar issue with a Universal Geneve Golden Shadow. I had it on a Cousins Bellini alligator for quite some time but was never completely happy with it - a couple of years ago somebody here was selling a gloss Patek alligator and Ive worn it much more since. Go for something really thin and unpadded and, because of the size, dont rule out something a little shiny in lizard, crocodile or alligator. I suspect only the former is doable on your budget.

Looking at 90% of the pics on the ‘perfect’ strap- watch combination thread, my confidence in the group’s ability to choose/recommend a strap is not particularly high.

Does that mean my recent contribution falls into the 10% category ?
You might look at the Rios1939 Seattle strap, it is unpadded shell cordovan available in a 18/20/22 mm and few different colors. Around $60 or so, no idea how much in GBP with VAT though.
I have a Hirsch Merino thats very soft, thin and subtle. Mine is black but it looks like they do brown too.
