_DC_ 218 Posted May 10, 2014 What have we here, a nice litte hessian pocket, I wonder what could be inside?! Here's a clue, it's something to do with one of these... Anyone who's purchased from the nice chaps at Bulang & Sons will know straight away, it's their charming way of packaging one of their beautiful handmade Italian leather vintage watch straps!! Here she is... I've purchased this for my incoming vintage 5513, but in the meantime I'm trying it out on my 116610. It's a wonderful rich chocolate brown in distressed leather with minimal stitch. The quality is phenomenal and it smells great too:) Now for some uninterrupted pics for you all... Hope you all like it, let me know what you think!!

_DC_ 218 Posted May 10, 2014 Should look even better on the vintage sub, looks a little out of place on the 116610! Might pick up a darker leather one for the Daytona once it's home DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The leather is really soft and not at all stiff so it's super comfy, not bad for €99 DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vreds 0 Posted May 10, 2014 Bold move putting those straps on the 116610, but works surprisingly well ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted May 10, 2014 I don't think vintage leather suits the ceramic sub, 5513, yes. But, taste being relative and all that, nice strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I should re-iterate the strap isn't for this watch, it will be for my 5513 but that hasn't arrived yet, just wanted to try it out!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted May 14, 2014 What width is the buckle please? I believe it is 18mm, would have to measure it to be sure though, the buckle was supplied with the strap though!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
