bob bean Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 I thought I'd try some stitching on a butter-soft strap to see how it wears. For me, this type of strap it way too much and I prefer a simple stitched strap. So I thought I'd ask you all for your opinions. Would you wear this type of strap? Do you like "heavily" stitched straps? All thoughts and opinions appreciated. Cheers as always, Bob (Overlook the faults as it's a prototype!)
PeteM Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 +1 Personally dont like the stitching, I have one similar but no stitching if I was to have it then it would have to be a dark stitch. Certainly if you like the contrast then a dark khaki or buff colour would look better IMHO.
modelizer Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 Not a big fan of heavily stitched straps. Like'em clean and simple.. And for the PAM's: chunky!
KB Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Don't hate me Bob but I don't like it. Maybe because the white stitch is to big a contrast with the leather, it might work better with a more neutral colour stitch. Ken
lanikai Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 I like the style .... but the thread ..imo.. should be more of a beige and heavily waxed meaning a little thicker with a nice waxed look.... .. but snowy white makes the look too..... amateurish.,.for lack of a better word..
tech Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 I appreciate the effort as I'm all thumbs on this type of work...but personally, its not for me.
deniz21 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 hello, first of all real nice work you did and this earns respect but i personally dont like this kinda stiching, it looks too old for me and its simply too much on a strap...dont know i prefer the simple stiching straight in a line, and i would not wear them..specialy not on a 111, but maybe ona real vintage pam it will look good. so dont get me wrong mate, but you wanted oppinions so i gave it too ya but the watch is nice denz
bob bean Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Posted February 6, 2010 Thank you all for your honesty, it's what I asked for and expected. As you will read in my opening post I too believe it too busy and stitch heavy. And as the majority thinks the same I will not be turning these babies out in the 100s. Instead I will stick with what appeals to my tastes. Thanks again. Bob My Taste albeit a bit soft on the focus
