donerix Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I love this watch (I missed my cheap Wempe rep all the time).Bought V1 and already have V2 waiting for me in Miami (I hope). But as nice as the rubber rep strap is, sometimes I want something different. So I made a few options: Tan Cayman Hornback: Tan Boa: Grey Boa: Brown Boa: Chocolate Croc: I have a black Cayman, but still needs stitching (silver thread which should look great with the watch). I hope you enjoyed watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkBachs Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I was sooooo close to telling you how awesome you are until I noticed something, you're missing the two most important straps of all: Shark and Stingray! Now, some might say that mesh would be the third, but I'm letting that one slide since this is a leather strap thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 The straps are nice indeed....but I cannot handle the connection between a DIVER and these exotic straps....errrh, yeah a croc lives in the waters...kind of Anyway, try colored rubbers like white, red....

ThinkBachs Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I beg your forgiveness Oh Mighty Strap Maker! Awesome choices in materials, I think I might have to do the unthinkable and sell one of my watches now for this new rep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Some members asked me to take pics of the different straps on the watch and some wrist shots. I am really pressed for time today and the weather was really shifty, so this is the best I could come up with during lunch hour: While I love the dark brown croc the grey snake looks the best with it's monochrome feel IMO: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed your mind or just don't like it when the exotics don't come from the manufacturer?

donerix Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 So I'm assuming you're wearing those T shirt hiding bastards? One hide I actually used the other one (the coral) we tried to tan it so it would keep it's natural colors, but it didn't work. Wow donerix! U selling them?! Is there nothing u can't do?

No, reptiles that are on CITES? no? calf straps are 99% from slaughter houses and I am no vegan I am tree huger tho who rides a ducati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donerix Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Sorry, will be a while. The shark skin is in my place in Miami, I am still in Nicaragua. I will be there next week, but then go on to Europe. I will show some pics of the hide and then take orders with a completion of mid-August. Should look like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Black shark sounds really cool. Can't wait to see it. This may be a silly question (as I do own a couple of shark straps) but since it is shark can you swim in them or does it hurt the strap? A jerk I know once challenged me to take a gen PAM Pre-V shark strap for a swim so I assume it is bad for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
