tutima Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Beautiful. That strap can go with any 44mm Pam. Congrat and wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkukbora Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Lovely and really adored with the strap patina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Many thanks guys.. this strap is very beautiful I must say and the reddish colour indeed goes well with all the pams. But it is also the smell, the logo buckle and above all the history of the leather that survived after 300 years in the bottom of the sea. THIS is the ultimate vintage strap I guess...

V Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 very very nice... so ... how many straps does that make? Don't have many straps at the moment.. I have though 3 new custom projects (like the Metta) on the process. This is my collection: And 2 more photos of the Metta: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swdivad Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutima Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I want one I don't know how much this custom Meta costs Veni but I know Don is selling one with sewn-in buckle for 200usd..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I don't know how much this custom Meta costs Veni but I know Don is selling one with sewn-in buckle for 200usd..!! I know.. but mine trust me.. was MUCH MUCH more cheaper but with a lot of effort Although I believe with the logo buckle (DON has a plain one) the market value of my strap is more than 250$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an one only and unique item. Somebody will probably pay more for it. Veni, maybe you can start your own line of straps so we all can benefit from it. LOL.

HA! This one is not for sale... It's my only strap that has done a tour of my watches because i love it sooooo much... I have put it on my 111H, on my 196 and on my 036 while I was in Greece.... I could change watch but not strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
