I agree with the snakehead idea. In general I would say that the buckles haven't received enough attention yet. There should be more variety. It's a shame I don't know a metal worker that could this kind of work. Well I will do some research, maybe I find something to go with my straps. Wanted to thank all of you guys: this place is great, people are really supportive and one can get lost for hours in the incredible stream of information in the forums.

Dave I am almost ready to start making them for resale, I just want to work out the kinks first on my own straps, so once I will make them for other people they are as good as possible. I am thinking of doing it on a per order basis where I show the samples and each customer can then select his size. What do you think? Considering I can only make so many straps per week/month (still have a restaurant to run and try to get at least 3 hours of sleep at night). How much you think I can charge per strap? I was looking around and really had a hard time finding comparable handmade straps (at least in exotic materials) and places like ABP are super expensive. I was thinking to ask for $95 per strap (paypaled and shipped). I am working on some nice packaging (tropical hardwood case with a little fabric strap bag inside). Thank you for your feedback...

This one is for Faber:

Guys, thanks for the feedback. I can hopefully take more detailed pix tomorrow

I made it. I bought a whole snakeskin a few days ago. It feels super smooth... The pictures don't really do it justice. I will try to take some better ones tomorrow in better light

It was already getting dark, but I thought I post these for you to see and to give me some feedback (Do you think it is an improvement to my last posted version for example). Here we go:

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow .....until the new arrivals hit....my one and only: Have a nice week BTW love the Superocean, need one immediately, anyone has one for sale?

Thank you guys and girls for the great feedback. I did make more than one strap and I might have to start making more and try to sell them to feed this new addiction of mine: watches Here are my other few prototypes and I hope I have some time next week to make some more (currently working on serpente 2.0 and on atan strap with black stitching for the PVD Marina Militare (44mm) that I will find one day (would appreciate any information if you see one), also have some Gator material coming my way next week and I can't wait to get my Fiddy some crocs... Thanks again

thanks dluddy, btw I love your pvd pam, will make myself a tan strap and then hunt one down. Any suggestions (I would prefer one with the MARINA MILITARE face)?

Just started making straps, so let me know what you think and what I could improve: Here we go: I really enjoy this place even if I have no more time left to sleep...

Here we go (Note to myself: "I have to get my own camera....") I love this place even if I am sure it will ruin me sooner or later ... going on one watch per week for now.... anybody wants to buy my dog?

Hola neighbor. Welcome to RWG. I live in Nicaragua, San Juan del Sur. I just started, too. Got my first watch (PAM 127) from a member in the US last week, and have two watches coming from China (direct to Nicaragua). I will let you know if and how it works. Maybe we can combine shipping. Enjoy the ride...

Thanks guys. I will hunt one down and finally post my first photos.

I am looking for a light colored hornback gator strap (26mm) for my PAM 217. Does anybody know of someone who might know somebody who's cousin's Brother in law makes them? I have something like this in mind: or this:

when will we see the first rep of this one. Can't wait....

HAS ANYONE SEEN A REP OF THIS MODEL? WOULD APPRECIATE ANY KIND OF HELP/LINK...

I am looking myself for one. How about the one from Eurotimez? Looks a lot like the one from Pure Time. Anybody bought one from Chris? I live in Nicaragua and so I would prefer to get one where I don't have to do much work to it. Just bought the leather from a saddle maker to make me a strap but since I bought a whole cow hide I will try to make some more. I will post some pics once I get it next week.

has anyone seen a rep of the Ploprof. And if where? I would love one for my grandpa who is french and used to make cameras for Cousteau, he had one but sold it many years ago...

They still haven't fixed the positioning of "superocean" (on th egen the "p" and the "A" below line up. I think Guru over at RWI has one from Precious Time that has that fixed already...
