Yes! I now know that selecting the better strap and deployment/buckle for a watch is hard work...and I am just starting to get into buying "custom made" straps.....
Previosuly I have used what I have received from joshua and other dealers and been happy with that, but now I see that there is more to it than that...there are multiple aspects to take into consideration...hell you can even order Name Stamping on the inside of the strap these days
Just ordered a similar to this strap from Hong kong but different buckle and flatter style (= not as padded as this one)
Details of mine:
Strap: E128DH Horn Back Crocodile_Double Horns
1. Strap Style : 71G (Standard) # Standard Flat Style_4mm
2. Size : 24x22mm
3. Length : 115x75mm_Men's Standard
4. Stitch Colour : Black
5. Buckle : NC/144 polished
6. Name Stamping : yes
7. Quick Release Pin (Not Available For Panerai) : NA
Hornback Leather Colors : E12801 # Black
It is for my FM LI Crazy hour hopefully I will find that missing screw before it arrives
As I said earler....I am now starting to appreciate the importance of the strap type and feel to feel comfortable and prouder wearing some of my older replicas. Certainly the deploymant/buckle is an important issue also.
I have no previous experience with inspire-workshop.com but at least their website is a good inroduction int the details of selecting the correct strap when it comes to size, length, width, thickness, shape and other issues
I know that quite a few of members here are true experts on straps, and even sell or make their own, so maybe they should educate us even further on this topic??...I suggest that someone should start a thread stating/suggesting what strap lengths, shape and other dimensions are most suitable for our watches, and this is particularly needed for the less popular brands like Franck Muller
Good evening
