Let's see your watch straps.

A colleague got this from www.lucrin.com
It's been barely a few days since he started using it. I would have personally chosen something a bit more colourful - maybe red or purple.

Anyone find a band with curved ends (especially a black metal/poly band) that fits into the lug? The watch is round but all these bands have straight ends. IMHO the curved bands would look like a better fit.
 
Went ahead and got me this polyurethane metal look band (thanks LdotAdot13) from Amazon. Kinda pricey but worth it, much more comfortable than the original band, fresh new look.

Glad you liked it! I find the band adds nice style to the watch.

Someone over at XDA took the band off their accurist watch and put it on the s3, fits like a glove.
 
They quote an approximate two week delivery time. They send you a tracking number but that only works until the package leaves Korea, then it's on to local delivery. I think mine arrived in about 10 days. Would be great if they had enough volume to set up a US based distributor but seems not to be the case yet.

Thanks for the info. Just received after 2 weeks (bounced around L.A. for 5 days). From the images on their site, the outer leather appears to be somewhat raised / cushy. Yours seems to be slightly puffed as well, but mine is super flat:

Pics of current strap below. Replacing it with this one when it arrives today - wanted a strap that was both brushed and shiny SS to match the watch better.

Yup it was just like the pic. However I ordered another (brown this time) and it's completely flat. Very nice band and I really like it, it's just not what's on their site. I'm going to email then to ask about it.
 
And here's the new one, love it! Matches up with the glossy SS look on the Classic body perfectly.

Interesting. Sent an email the other night as well asking if they switched it up, and if an exchange is possible. The leather itself appears to be exact. Which do you prefer?

I think I prefer the puffy one but only slightly. The leather on the brown one is so nice, they really nailed it and it adds alot to the watch. The one that is stuffed adds a little more even above that however I could see it wearing out where it claps.. maybe.. over time. Without the stuffing, I don't think that will happen. And, the slot in the leather for the quick release is a little longer in the new version although I didn't have an issue with the one I bought originally. So, is a near toss up .. have been wearing the new one more, maybe due to the nice color. They are both winners and those guys need to update their web site for sure.
 
Rocking the SLG strap for a week now and I'm loving it. The Minerva Box leather looks, feels and even smells amazing. Unlike the Barton strap I just returned, the quick release pins and surrounding leather will surely last. The buckle matching the frontier finish is the cherry on top. At $69, I was super skeptical but it's worth it. Here's the link again:
