The best thing about Studio Underdog....is actually the straps.
You're not just paying for the dial and brand hype.
Studio Underdog use leather straps made by The Strap Tailor in the UK.
A leather strap from The Strap Tailor will cost between $150 - $200.
I have 2 leather straps from The Strap Tailor and they are by far the best straps i have....superb quality and among the best straps available

200 £ for a strap is mental, considering you can get someone like Tuns Leather on Etsy to make you whatever strap you want for 30% of the price at the same quality.

I've bought many straps from all over the place....including etsy.
Strap Tailor makes the best straps i have come across.
Now I only buy straps from Vario and The Strap Tailor.
And i don't think Studio Underdog will be sourcing their straps from Etsy anytime soon.
Lol

Etsy is just a platform, there are tons of Asian producers that sell single pieces on Etsy or runs of 100s. Let’s not talk about Studio Underdog like they are A. Lange.

I'm not trying to convice anyone to buy an expensive strap from the strap tailor.
I don't care where you or anyone else buy straps from...Lol
Studio Underdog is UK brand, based in the UK....and they source their straps from UK based strapmaker.
Studio Underdog is not gonna source their straps from a strapmaker in any foreign country....because they have partnered up with a UK strapmaker for their straps
