Well YES.. those straps are not for 'us' They are collector's pieces to complete expensive watches. It has nothing to do with beauty or the leather.

Those straps are not for rep owners.. Not even for normal gen owners like most of us. It is for people who spent 25.000$ for a 201/A which is for the untrained eye essentialy the same as a 2500$ 000 logo. Does a 201/A worth 10 times the 000? Does the strap of the 201/A worth 10 times the normal strap? Everything is in the eye of the beholder. Again, it depends on the target market. If I had a 201/A as a collectors piece maybe buying ths strap for 2000$ would make my watch sell for 5000$ more if you know what I mean

Amazing.. look at that 5 and 6 !!!

Well this is a proper strap for a customer. The other one was a fun thing to do in an old strap of mine to see how it looks. Don't think they should be compared .. big difference no?

That's the best, easiest and cheapest solution. The same kind of lume the B&R watches have. But you have to be careful because you don't want to end up with a canary yellow like that:

If you don't know what kind of job he does give him another piece of leather first to check him. You don't want him to mess with your Metta hide.

Thanks. Basically back of the strap is the same as the front. Can't take a photo because it is already packed to be sent away.

Hey glad you liked it Rob.. THanks guys for your nice comments. I have now made more than 100 straps the last months and can only get better with time and practice.

Since you like it...

Thanks guys.. I couldn't than just be extremely precise and perfect in detail for something for The Zigmeister, the same way he is so detailed in modding our watches (his relume in my Cali dial is like made by a machine) The details of the strap are not made by me (it is a thank you gift to The Zigmeister from another member) so I can't change anything

Just finished a strap from Metta Catharina leather for The Zigmeister (hence the leftovers for the frankenstrap I posted yesterday).. Thought of posting some pics here because you never get tired of looking at Metta straps. and snffing them

I have received a PM from some guy wanting to explain him the process of making a strap, the tools he needed, where to buy it, where to find the leather and if I had a detailed tutorial because he wanted to start making straps. Go figure...

I knew you would say that. Probably ruined a nice strap but it was short anyway and couldn't wear it

Well I had some free time today and decided to play a bit.. Had some small parts of Metta leather and decided to do the following strap... On a vintage burgundy leather a 'patchwork' of metta leather. Not perfectly finished because it is night but you can get the idea My wife usually loves my straps but she said this one is awful and since she is a good judge I am expecting same responses here as well

GREAT!!! And gets softer and softer...

Got a nicely aged MP Tan Ambra today as part of a trade and I LOVE it on my Cali..

Looks gen to me. If this is a rep DEFINATELY want one even if I don't like this model at all

Beautiful watch and strap.. and of course your other collection of straps is as good.. Love as well this petrol (we use it in greece as well) strapmasters shark.

I am following Jimmy's parts since he started made them. I have NEVER EVER seen him offer a dial, cg and crown like that. Case and caseback are his. Probably Jimmy didn't took much attention to your question.

Agree with the above guys. JF case and non JF crown guard.

Dobermann of course.. Had one when I was a small child and it was the sweetest dog you could ever imagine. Sleeping with her everynight in my bed. She was bigger than me

Thanks a lot my friend

I ll play with one of my favourite photo..

Sorry I thought that with your reply to lanikai and you were saying that he hasn't done them for free. I misunderstood.

What you mean by that if not that he did the mods for free?
