V Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Veni... did you ever test a W&W strap? Som much strap for so little $... Test them they are great!!! No to tell you the truth I have never bought something from Wojtecki. But also I think I am finished with ready straps (only of course in case I grab a used bargain on Paneristi) From now on I buy only BOB vertigo straps and make my own projects...

Thor Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 As said great collection What about some gator or ostrich straps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 As said great collection What about some gator or ostrich straps? In my eyes ostrich are :yucky: I have thought many times about gator BUT I consider myself still young blood and most of my clothes are casual or fashionably casual And everytime I have a strap with a gator on my arm it looks completely out of space and out of time on me.

V Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I have my eyes now on this strap.. If i haven't bought so many straps the last days i would have grabbed it in a second.... Only 55$ shipped and paypaled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutima Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) I have my eyes now on this strap.. If i haven't bought so many straps the last days i would have grabbed it in a second.... Only 55$ shipped and paypaled @Veni, That is the aged buffalo strap by Molina that I have shown on my 111 and on my wrist right now. I couldn't recommmend this strap more. Well made and excellent value for the money. Very soft and comfortable despite the 4mm thickness. Edited April 11, 2006 by tutima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I know... and that's why I am considering it very hard to get it... P.S. Can't find the photo of your 111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thread is right under this thread at the STRAP section. I also got the vintage tan strap which I have not had a chance to try it yet. The vintage brown was sold out before I get to it. Steve is a good guy to deal with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutima Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) I like those BOB straps that you have. The problem for me is with the standard 120/75 length and the way the holes are punched, it is a little too long for me. And Christen cannot do shorter strap nor can he even punch an extra hole for me. So until I find the perfect hole punch, I cannot buy any BOB's.

Estaban Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Nice straps, but too many of the same look. You must get a honey bony croc, a brown croc, and an ostrich leg. Here are my faves from Walter. I'm wearing my honey croc right now. Get yourself a MP4 Submericore too. Sorry to hijack your thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutima Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Check this link here... maybe it helps... Click here Thanks, Thor, I am not sure this is what I am looking for. The punch is oval instead of the more rectangular shape of the holes on BOB's. They are out of stock at Taikonaut anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 There are also ones in rectangular shape aviaible... This shop got some for example... Click here Think you'll need one in 2mmx4mm... but better check it on your straps Check out google for shops within your country... if you need a special size, you need a custom one, which aren't cheap...

pubus Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) Aaron is God This is a great addition to your strap collection Veni. Tell me if I see wrong or the stitching is doubled there? Edited May 5, 2006 by pubus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
