relaxman Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Well received my 390 yesterday and wasn't really impressed with the strap everyone bragged about until I decided to give it a little olive oil love. What was meh is now a soft beauty. One thing to look out for is the screw on the buckle was so small for mine and just slid in and out of the threads . This is the second 24mm pre-v buckle I've had with the same problem. I can't seem to find the right size so I added my Kain pig buckle. Here it is on my 005k. Like ?
panermaniac Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 like nice work, care to walk us through the process? gotta love the pig
PeteM Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Olive Oil Love........ I think it saw that movie !!
relaxman Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 Long drawn out process that takes oh about 2 minutes.. First I worked the strap by rolling it back and forth to soften it up. Next lightly applied extra virgin olive oil with a soft cloth working it into the leather. I then allied lexol leather conditioner and that was it ( not really needed) Less olive oil will achieve a more aged look. The key is to talk nice to the strap whilst massaging the olive oil in.

lfovco Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 A buckle on my 390 has the same problem. Not well made. I actually ordered mine with rubber strap just out of curiosity. That thing smells like it was in a middle of oil tank explosion = trash can.
