A few moths back I purchased a worn once Victorinox Nite Vision. Don't know if you are familiar with the watch, but it has a really cool LED light attached to it. I bought it because of it's looks more than anything, and we all know how good Victorinox watches are. It came on a black leather strap, which unfortunately is of a pretty poor quality. I recon after about a month of solid wear it would be wrecked, but I have only worn it for a few days total. The strap is unique to the watch, and it would appear impossible to find something produced by a third party. Victorinox do not make a replacement, but you can buy a bracelet from them for £140. As I only paid £150 for the watch, this seems a bit excessive. I contacted a manufacturer of straps I found on line and asked them if they could make one up for me. They were very helpful, and informed me it would cost £50 on top of their normal leather strap, making the total cost £285, yes, that isn't a misprint, £285. This is such a shame because I like the watch, but knowing the strap won't hold up, and not wanting to spend £140 on a bracelet, I have put it back on eBay.
