OK, I'm a fool

After years of seduction by BasleWorld's 116515LN (Everose, brown dial, black bezel) and pondering self destructing 7750's in Daytonas, the latest modded version has finally pushed me over the edge into ordering.

Problem is they now all come on the "Oysterflex" rubber, both real and rep.

Would rather like a nice black croc as the original models. Anyone know if the deployant is easily switchable from the Oysterflex, any thoughts on supply?

Only too aware we have Trusted Strap Suppliers just asking for recommendations .

No suggestions?

Poses the question, "whatever happened to Strapviet ?"

Bump! Surely someone must have had one of these...

I couldn't comment about the clasp, but for similar stuff in terms of price and quality to Strapveit, check out VNHandCraf / ziczacleather.

Stick with the TD's http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?/forum/361-mdk-strap-works/

MDK does some awesome work, similar skin for a similar watch here's what he made me:

Thanks for the comments guys, will update (yeah, yeah with pictures) when it all comes together.

Can't believe no one has a 116515LN and not put new shoes on it.

It shouldn't be that hard - check lug width and clasp width, find suitable strap to fit.  I will vouch for VNHandCraf as he made me a strap for a PAM and it is fantastic.  I have not tried MDK, but he is a TD and that says a lot - also that strap he made for Genius looks incredible, and suits that TUDOR to a 'T'.
