deltatahoe Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 And your strap is today ready to dispatch With round edge as requested.. Something different than the usual designs btw.. I can put this strap on vintage watches with fixed lugs.. If you send me the watch you will have the ultimate strap fixed on your watch and not those ugly rivets most of those watches have hi V, i forgot to reply to this thread....this one will be going on my 112h, so go ahead and send it out... definitely something to think about in the future though... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of this week I think you will have it The quote was general for vintage watches owners and not to you.. i thought this was the case, but figured i would respond just in case. believe it or not, i just received the strap 5 minutes ago; it looks great V -- i can't wait to try it on my 112h thanks for the incredibly fast turnaround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 i thought this was the case, but figured i would respond just in case. believe it or not, i just received the strap 5 minutes ago; it looks great V -- i can't wait to try it on my 112h thanks for the incredibly fast turnaround I am glad that you liked it.. I have also put mine on the 112 and it looks really nice after some weeks having developed a patina. Another PLUS is that it doesn't stains from water like most of the straps that develop a patina (PAV, XaMas, WW2 etc..) Trust me I have worn it these days with the torrential rain here in UK.

V Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Took some photos today of the strap after 4 days in the beach, saltwater and sun... No problem of shrinking or smelling.. A leather conditioner and grease and now it is better than ever.. I really believe you can't get better patina than this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 looking great V....can't wait for mine to develop a nice patina (need to wear my 112h more!) deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 looking great V....can't wait for mine to develop a nice patina (need to wear my 112h more!) or.. if you live somewhere where the sun shines (here in Uk that is not the case) you can leave the strap to the sun and it will darken.. slowly.. You can also use leather contitioner or special grease for leathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently in bargaining mode with one of our members for a watch. What's wrong with me. Why am I passing up one of your beauties, just to get MORE watches...*bangs head on monitor* Hello Someone call my name OH .... it must be Ms. Barrett .... Hello Well how can you pass up a greek hide... for all you know this historic aged hide could have come from an offspring of an ox that was born to a four legged animal that pulled the carts for the warriors in Sparta. Although I bilieved they did a lot of footwork.. Common VB what's next .. watches that is, what are you bartering for now .. WOW.. the 089 and the 199 are getting alot of wrist time ... got a dark brown alligator band on the 089 .. i really likes the look ....and the MP Noce is on the 192 Submersible.. man i gotta get my camera going... trying get down to the beach to take some wrist shots Just extracted 3 straps gotten over the weekend in E's crazy sale... the rest will be held in the shopping bag .. let E or Mara know if you want to put anything in the "BAG" on hold and pay for it when you are ready to ship ... dangerous way to shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 No.. thank you for getting one of my straps.. I have put all my effort on it and to all the straps I make like they were my own straps and not for someone else. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy my personal one. BTW here is another strap finished today (lanikai this is yours ) WOW.... V .... .. that looks even better than the first one you posted ... i did not think such was possible .. what good is a great looking watch without a great looking straps would you put tractor tires on a ferrari .....wear ripped up shoes with a Versace suit .... Slippers (thongs) with a Hugo Boss Pinstipe ??? Then why wear a canvas rope with your Panerai...if you can manage... my point being everything needs to be complimented and finished with style... and since I cannot make a quality strap like you V... i WILL SPEND THE MONEY ... AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO KEEP IT IN HOUSE thankyou V, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 WOW.... V .... .. that looks even better than the first one you posted ... i did not think such was possible Hey guys -- as of today, I'm a fully paid up member of the V-strap Owner Society, too. What a gorgeous hide, and one which I've been eyeing for A WHOLE MONTH, since I saw him post on it. So I'm off the Elliot treadmill for a little while, and get to support one of our fellow members, as you so well put it, Lanikai. Now. WHO NEXT WILL BUY A STRAP FROM V?? Hmm? Thanks, V!

Well Ms Barrett will have a nice surprise when she wakes up.. Strap is ready In this one I used Yellow thread and it is as close to Louis Vuitton as it gets.... Personally I believe that this colour stitching is perfect for this hide especially when it will darken with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
