Neat watch, especially if you're a fan of Subaru STI's. I am a big Subaru fan myself, although I don't have my WRX and Legacy any longer.

That's a beautiful watch...congrats. Here's a great, well-lit shot of it that really shows off its detail (img is too big to repost, but this is the page):

Possibly the best looking TAG I have ever seen. their styling usually leaves me cold, but this one is classic, understated, and spot on. Beautiful.

just1tymA better photo of the Everest leather bands on a stainless Sub. The band includes the metal link at the end of the band that fits between the lugs.

Here you go! I purchased one for mine and it was a great fit, and easy to install with the right tools. Which btw, they also sell if you need them. Not really cheap but very well constructed.

Yea, sorry about that. When I do my search for a leather band for Rolex it took me to the Everest link and I never looked at the site to see if they made them for other brands, though if it was the same distance between the lugs like the great looking Tag Heller posted above it looks like it may work if the case is the same size i.e.: 40mm. I'd ask an Everest rep first.

46and2There are custom strap makers who hang out in the other watch nerd forums, who will make you one for most any watch. I had two made slightly oversize on purpose, for example, where - strictly speaking - the lugs were only 20mm apart, but I had them make mine as though it was 22mm wide but notched to fit, for a slightly wider/beefier profile.
In both cases it was $75-100/ea, for a brown one made from a vintage Swiss Army ammo bag where you can still see some of the original stamped nomenclature in the strap, and a black one where I specified the exact color of the leather and the color of the stitching... IIRC, it was only about $50/ea extra beyond a few pre-made straps I was looking at.
