    Default My Latest Watch Strap Creations (3 This Time!)

    Hey Guys,

    I haven't posted any straps in a while so here are the last 3 I've finished lately. The brown and reddish brown are 24mm, 135 x 80mm with sewn-in brushed buckles, and the natural horsehide strap was "massaged" to soften it up a bit and is 26mm, 145 x 80mm with a GPF Mod Dep buckle. All are built with the finest Horween leather, which really is super-nice stuff! I like them all but one built just like the brown one with black stitching and a PVD buckle would be the SHIZ mounted to a black watch, IMO!

    Very nice. I tip my hat to you for the craftsmanship. Love the one with black stitching.

    Moonshine,
    Well done! Did you also make the buckles? Those watch straps are very manly in appearance, handsome and rugged. That is hard to find in this era of plastic and battery operated garbage. That is simply well done sir.

    Very Respectfully

    Chasmo

    Those are beautiful. What do you plan to mount them to?

    Very nice straps.

    " I like them all but one built just like the brown one with black stitching and a PVD buckle would be the SHIZ mounted to a black watch, IMO"

    Here's a black watch on your strap, instead of the other way around.


    Sorry for the lousy "Sunday AM cellphone" picture.

    Thanks for the nice comments, Gentlemen! And no, I didn't make the buckles, but i have been working on a custom buckle for myself made from copper. Too many ideas and not enough time! And for the 2nd question, these will be mounted to Panerai watches similar to the black beauty posted by Bill S!

    Nice work.
    They have a great, rugged look to them
    Something like that would look good on my Panerai
