I would like to try and make a watch band - really do not know what Im doing but want to try. Need some recommendations on where to go to get the buckle. I want a decent one- not concerned about finding the cheapest thing- want quality.

One other question- when it says a 20mm buckle- does that mean the inside width of the strap- i.e. a 20mm wide strap would use a 20mm buckle??

Thanks

I have just started working with leather so others may have a better source but I get mine from cousinsuk.com as I'm UK based. They are not expensive but do seem to be of good quality. Cousins do ship internationally though you might find a nearer source in the US. Google watch materials and you should find plenty though some do require you to open a business account. Cousins don't.

Normally a 20mm strap (on the watch side) would taper down to 18mm or 16mm (buckle end). All depends on what you want. You could certainly use a 20mm buckle on a 20mm strap.

My first attempts. 20mm strap with a 18mm buckle.
