Somewhere between $150-$300 is my guess. I have a stingray band of his and it’s a completely custom job. Took a few weeks to get in but completely worth it.
Got a tip for us?

Stingray is a beautiful choice of material. Do you mind posting some shots of it?

The A&B Porter band at the bottom is the one I have. S
Best I've found are these:
E3 Leather and Shell cordovan bands:

I have the 44mm color #8 shell cordovan band and LOVE IT
My next purchase will be an arrow and board medium brown porter watch band:

Absolutely stunning!
I got the gray modern strap from Nomad for my 44 mm space black stainless steel watch: https://hellonomad.com/collections/black-hardware/products/modern-strap-slate-gray-black-hardware. It was exactly what I was looking for. Looks great, high quality leather, super comfortable. Well worth $60. Best Buy stocks them too.
It’s great but I don’t wear it all that often. It seems my go-to band is my Storm grey sport loop.
First thing I did was put some conditioner on it.
I pulled it out when I saw this thread again. I think I’ll put some more on it right now. S

Here’s mine. Hand made Hermes clone - lots of colours available and much better than the cheap ones on AliExpress.

Dig into the last few pages of the big 3rd party band thread. There's lots of discussion on there and several buyers. Easiest way is to install Aliwangwang which is AliExpress Whatsapp like app. You can launch a chat with sellers via the Taobao page by clicking on link. He sells direct and speaks English. I've bought both the Hermes clone and a genuine SS link. I might order a brown or indigo leather from him next year too.
Anyone have a band from Pin & Buckle? The orange leather one looks really appealing!

I saw it posted on 9to5mac and the orange one stands out (for me)
