I'm currently sporting my Tag Heuer 844/5 on a cheap metal bracelet that I found on Amazon.
For reference: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Polish-Shinning-Silver-Stainless-Release/dp/B076LYWFBH

Obviously this is sacrilege and I throw myself on your mercy.

However, this is the style of strap that I prefer, I don't like NATO, leather, or rubber straps, (I don't like the way they trap and retain water if they get wet), and I'm not a huge fan of the original "jubilee" type strap, or the "shark-mesh" metal straps.

My current cheap chinese strap isn't very good (the second, "locking" clip keeps falling open, and it "feels" cheap). I also don't particularly like the unlocking mechanism where two "buttons" protrude from the sides of the clasp, (but I can live with that if needed)

So, given that we're currently in lockdown, and visiting a jewellers is hardly "essential travel" (if any were even open), can anyone recommend either an actual strap, or a good online source for a strap (UK preferred), that would be an "oyster" type and suit the 1000 series nicely.

Unfortunately I mislaid the original jubilee strap (with the pin covers) many years ago, (I've had this watch from new).

 

You could try a Strapcode oyster bracelet with straight end links. They do several styles of clasp including a Submariner style one. Or you could choose from one of their many different styles.

Obviously I would try to find the original bracelet ... this was discussed also in this other thread. Maybe it could be useful for you:

I easily found the original bracelet for my 6000 Senna in my usual AD, at a very reasonable price. So you could ask your AD, and maybe you have better price than expected

 

Thats weird, that copy of the catalogue page actually shows two different crown styles!

 

If you mean the lower picture, it could be a shadow, so an optical effect because of the picture

 

I was actually referring to the 2 top photos.
The left photo has a crown with medium fine ridges and a shouldered profile. The right photo is fine ridges and a domed crown!
I know they're different models, but it's obvious that Tag at the time weren't being very consistent!

 

I assume left model is lady’s version, with quite different size from right model (gen’s size), so it could be expected some differences in their designs

 

I've found a 2000 series bracelet on eBay which although not correct for the watch is at least a TH strap and 20mm.
I'm tempted even though it's £115.
