Well that torpedoed my stupid lame joke. Wow that’s some amazing material. It’s nice that they left the alligator two legs.

Cut details for one strap.

All the details are cut with very sharp knives, no scissors.

  My knives are made from hardened metal of a metal hacksaw blade.

Question for @TanGo

Would like to put some life back into the strap on my LMPO (pic below) Would something like mink oil be ok?

You can use this remedy. But you must first clean the strap with leather conditioner. If you apply mink oil to uncleaned leather, the dirt will enter the leather pores along with the oil.

And leather doesn't like dirt.

Your strap is not stitched. Therefore, do not use too many leather oils. The grease will degrade the glue and your strap may unravel

While the white monster rests, I start assembling the next strap.

In case anyone is wondering, the glue cures for 24 hours. So after assembling the strap, I leave it to "rest". After that, you can continue .

If the strap is made within a few hours, its quality will not be the best.

So, friends, be patient if you want a quality strap. 

I have no aim to work for quantity. I enjoy working with leather and making sure my customers are happy :) !

    So, the following strap for the Zenith Chronomaster

Hi Tanya,

1st hole is 40mm from the tip of the strap to the OUTER EDGE of the first hole.

3mm diameter holes

10mm spacing between holes (Center to center)

Total of 5 holes.

Thank you.

A new connector has been developed for the AP noob. We succeeded, the fit of the strap on the watch case is perfect !

Right :)

The top strap is for the customer and the bottom strap is free, no size has been set yet. Any size can be made at this stage. Please let me know if you want the second strap

It’s a lovely looking strap.
I have bought too many straps lately.
I must sell some first, before I buy more
