TanGo 2,444 Posted November 13, 2023 Dear Sirs and Friends. I would like to bring to your attention a new strap made of Gucci textiles It looks gorgeous in real life. I have enough of this material to make straps for other watches. I also have Gucci textile in brown color. I guess it will be of great interest to Mr. @Diluted 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted November 13, 2023 Looks pretty gorgeous in photos too! I keep meaning to get you to make an IWC Big Pilot strap for me and this has reminded me. I'm not sure whether to go for a normal copy of Gen or one like this (though that one will be too big). I'll have a think. Can you do the two metal stud things they have in the Gen strap?

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find such rivets on sale. My husband said he would try to make them out of stainless steel. The rivets that are installed on cheap rep straps for IWC are irregularly shaped and rust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gatty 0 Posted November 21, 2023 Dumb question, though I'll ask. Did you make this or is this genuine?? Look's fairly high quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, that fits in the 'dumb question' category. The original designer textile will be genuine. @TanGo is our forum strap maker, and some of her work has been lauded as 'better than gen', on occasion. Remember the golden rule. "You get what you pay for". In a lot of cases, in this section, you get much more than you paid for! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanGo 2,444 Posted November 21, 2023 @FudgyDocker, thank you sir. This is a high bar, I must try my best not to disappoint my favorite RWG 2 hours ago, GingerJesus said: She's really rather good is our Tango. I insist on her making all my thongs. No chaffing. Buddy, I don't sew thongs. But ... I can make for you a sporran or a belt bag for golf balls from rabbit fur, and you will already use it as you like, at your own discretion.... 45 minutes ago, gatty said: Ah makes sense now!
