6152-1 rolex/panerai, showing how i distress a nice strap

[rbj69]

here is a very expensive strap , that i bought for my 6152-1 holy grail watch , but it was too new looking , so i distressed it but keep in mind i dont like the really worn looking ones just a soft thick vintage looking one is what i like and i think it came out pretty good, im not a big stickler on putting straps in clorox , because i feel it will make the leather crack faster and also it makes them hard, so i decided to work the leather instead of putting harsh chemicals on it, it is buttery soft and seems to make the strap appear to be more like a velvety discolored look , any way u be the judge

heres some shots of the strap how it comes beside the one i distressed for comparison both r brand new

and the star wars them dun dun du dun dun , lol little vintage lume shot for u with a back ground light on

enjoy!!
