billywhiz 312 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Needed a new strap. Standard straps are way to small for me. So armed with a few tools, new bit of nice leather I came up with this. - 26mm full width, 26mm brushed buckle and around 6mm think so quite chunky. Wrist size, well made for me so circa 9 wrist. Here is the original Pam strap - in fact this is a standard length pam strap so will give you an idea of extra length.width Chunky & Solid And on watch shoot Edited January 20, 2020 by billywhiz 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psssniper 84 Posted January 21, 2020 Nice job on the strap and some great photography! There's a few of us here that are in the club. I've made many a strap and bought many an extra link or two or three. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billywhiz 312 Posted January 23, 2020 Made another one for the 44mm - not overly feeling it at the moment. so may do a tan/vintage colour military style for this too. 24mm full width with 24mm buckle, circa 5mm thick this one. Against original strap to show new length, thickness Thick On watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
