Has anyone tried Jean Rousseau? I was in their London store last weekend. Nice selection, very good prices, looked good quality to me.
It is good quality!
Decide from your previous strap, how long you like each end to be and have them fitted with a single hole (as opposed to the 5 or 7 holes used in commercial watch straps).

Gents,
I am facing a dilemma for the last couple of days. I am uncertain if I should go for a IWC 3239 Ingenieur (new model) or a Rolex Submariner 114060. Both with black dial.
What keeps me off a Ingy is the ETA movement while Sub has an in-house one.
Ingy looks more cool to my eyes, perhaps because it's a fresh version, while Rolex has stronger and more rich appearance, yet it's so popular that I have a feeling every third guy I see on the street is wearing one, so that's actually a downside in my book a bit.
I am also considering the resale value after couple of years. I guess Rolex would be easier to sell off, while I am not sure about the ETA Ingy ..

That's the one. La Boqueria. I shall make a point to hunt down your jamon paradise.
This! I'm a bit biased, but I'd chose the 3239 over a Rolex.I would say if the Ingy appeals to your taste, then take advantage of the weaker resale value and get a used one - depreciation and ETA guilt dismissed in one fell swoop.

One of my friends (who is a collector and writer in the watch industry) has owned a few and recently visited their factory. He said he was really impress with their quality. I have no personal experience with them. I have another friend who really likes ABP straps. My only personal experience is with Camille Fournet. I think if you go with any of the above three brands you will get a really nice strap.Has anyone tried Jean Rousseau? I was in their London store last weekend.

Try both on and see which appeals to you more. I really like the Ing design, but its movement is an issue for me. Its overall design (with some modern design updates) has been around for more than 30 years. When one considers it was born to compete with ROs, Nautiluses, VC's 222, and GP's Laueato, its really one of the most affordable of that genre of watches...in part due to its movement. For a while they did make a version with an inhouse movement, you could always try to track one of those down (I'm a tad sorry I didn't buy that version when they were available new).Gents,
