My Pair (112+003) With New Thick Vintage Straps From Hktan


V

Recommended Posts

First my 003 has this long tan shrunk leather strap.. 5+mm thick with a beautiful grain resembles very much the cashmere strap on the 1950. (Well I won't say identical but it is VERY close)

Excellent work done by Aaron/HKTAN to leather I provided him..

I like it a lot.. :wub:

And here is one of the VERY few TRUE vintage straps in the market...

My vintage Italian jacket leather strap from the 50's in the XaMas style EXTRA EXRA long... 160/80 and 6mm thick... :rolleyes:

Of course 'double stitched' by Aaron like the old days ;)

Buckle is roughly old-style engraved :D

I will leave the photos to speak as well :Jumpy:

I think the jacket strap looks more rough and it is better for the 112 and the tan looks better on the white dialed 003. This strap (the tan) makes me want to get a fiddy to make one for it :p

Too bad I don't like the fiddy :(

Nice straps Kostas...you are the true Strapmaster! :notworthy:

So the "V" stands for "VINTAGE"?

Thanks Maikel... V stands for Veni and not for vintage.. I am not into vintage stuff... not YET :D

But this is a great watch to begin with :p

Thanks guys for your comments..

I wear A LOT my tan shrunk strap and it is becoming one of my favourites straps of my collection..

Thinking of putting a sewn-in logo buckle to it ;)

Yeah, V with my last purchase and this tan one i think i hit the lottery with the V straps the 2 top ones at least - the way i see it. I think our sense of style on this is similiar :)

and V is for Vendetta :)

i gotta say though, your straps that are super thick - man, its a whole different universe then the other stuff i have gotten out there and they look SUPER awesome.

Its all about the thick straps
