Which 18mm Watch strap?
on: October 24, 2012, 09:30:19 PM
Hi all,

I have a Citizen eco-drive watch which I've had for a few years. The strap it came with is very well made; canvas and leather, and the only problem with it is that it begins to smell after a while.

I replaced it for a few years with a silicon strap which broke recently.

Can anyone recommend a cheapish replacement strap which won't smell, or can easily be washed?

Cheers Zed - I'm gonna have to go to Amazon rather than t'bay - Are there differences in quality or if it says 'G10' should it be ok?

Take a toothbrush and a little dish soap and give it a light scrubbing. Hand dry with a dish towel.

I do this quite often when I get my watches sweaty and dirty.
