  I got a one piece off eBay for about $22 and I think it is fine but as it is my first band I can't really compare the quality.
  However I've heard this site is good: http://www.westcoastime.com/accessories.html

  I have used the nylon safety type for my citizen eco drive dive watches for years. The unique design has saved my watch on at least one occasion when the watch got caught on my gear and broke one of the watch spring pins. With the original band it would have been at the bottom of the ocean.
  This one-piece strap “weaves” under your watch. If one spring pin/ bar breaks, you won't lose your watch! One ring is the buckle, two act as metal keepers, and two others secure watch in place.
  NOTE: Get a band with stainless steel rings and holes that are ultrasonically welded so NO fraying… ask the question before purchase.
  Some brands to check out.
  Zulu, S.O.S Tactical and Waterborne

  Not sure where you are but I did find these once in a dive shop in Melbourne but can't remember what they were called. It was an Australian manufactured item ??? Waterborne maybe??? but the name has changed since I got mine.

  I've decided to go with http://www.westcoastime.com/
  The seller's name is Howard M. Marx.
  Bought 2 Zulu straps for $17 USD each, + $4.50 USD combined shipping.

  Very happy with the quick response and prompt shipping. Took nine days to arrive. The straps themselves are of highest quality.
