Roivster 0 Posted February 25, 2016 That Croc on the PAM looks extrem good. Is it for sale??? This one is mine, I wanted the head horns. I will be making another strap from the left over hide. I'll post it for sale when I'm finished. I have some busy times in the weeks ahead (Seeing John Cleese and Eric Idle this weekend, [and a GTG here on the coast], Interstate wedding next weekend ) so it will be a few weeks before I can start this one. Cheers Looking forward to receiving this piece! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted March 4, 2016 I came across a small piece of creamy tan vintage croc belly the other day, not too sure what size it will become or which watch of mine I'll fit it to. Time will tell: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cubic Hare 494 Posted March 4, 2016 OK, so this one became a 26/22 one fixed and one matched floating keeper. Cut and glue done today. Punch and stitch tomorrow. Front: Back: Lined with 0.8mm premium Kangaroo hide the while thing is just average 2mm thick. Together. Still deciding what colour to stitch. Probably off white/neutral.

Cubic Hare 494 Posted March 4, 2016 Also on the agenda this weekend, I loved the look and feel of the 24mm toad on my SOH but I found a better match Toad skin colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cubic Hare 494 Posted March 5, 2016 After quite a busy day I have two straps completed. Stitching the "Camel Toad" for my Root Beer SOH. My dilemma now is to decide which is better the "Dark Chocolate Toad" toad or this "Camel Toad" And the Creamy Croc Belly is also done, here on my fiddy.

the_faz_man 0 Posted March 18, 2016 Wow, some interesting straps there.......do you every treat/spray them with anything to enhance durability, or are they inherently kickass durable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted March 18, 2016 Wow, some interesting straps there.......do you every treat/spray them with anything to enhance durability, or are they inherently kickass durable? I treat the exotics with a leather conditioner and recommend owners to do the same about every 6 months. Just to help prevent the skin from drying out and remain supple. That's about it.

Cubic Hare 494 Posted April 3, 2016 That double hornback = MAJOR SPLOOSH! Just gorgeous Thanks mate. The one on this page went to Norway and the one on the previous page I still have on one of my watches. I just wish I had a good supply for the Croc backstraps. My suppliers source has just been bought by the "Prada" group so even he's having a hard time getting Croc now.. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
