steelerfan Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Below are some pics of my first (what I consider to be) expensive strap. USD $120. I realize I could easliy spend more on a MP or something from TC also. The quality of this thing is unbelieveable. Custom made to order. 11 days from ordering to have it at my door in Chicago. Look at the thickness of it. Thought it would be very stiff but it is just the opposite. The numbered Pre V sewn in buckle is also very cool IMHO. Highly recommend Pietro at Germano staps. PM me if you need a link. Now I fear I may find myself collecting straps on top of the watches themselves. I was trying to match the strap on the cover as closely as possible. The color is a little off, but maybe with a little seasoning it will eventually get that beautiful weathered look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yea, How bout them steelers jraines Thanks. I am starting to think I could really get into coleecting straps now also, and since I got the Pre V (my first), I'm starting to think deployents should be left for watches with bracelets only. I was happy the Steelers won, but not with the way it was won. Thought the playoffs were more exciting than the Super Bowl, but I am looking forward to next season.

Yea straps are almost as addictive as the watches themselves.... Hey the Steel curtain has the ring... That's all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exper Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Thats quite nice, thinking off adding a tan strap to my collection as well. Is that HKTan's handywork ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelerfan Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thats quite nice, thinking off adding a tan strap to my collection as well. Is that HKTan's handywork ? It's actually made by Pierto Germano, who is coincidentally from Germany. Thor posted a link above to his, and many other strap sites. What do I think? Me thinks it's a fabulous strap on a fabulous watch!! Thanks Drizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siro Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 definetely a nice & thick strap..looks like gabo strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtofa Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Very nice - that's the color I need for my Tantalum, to set off the titanium. I like the unpainted sides, and soft is good for such a thick strap. Thanks for the heads-up - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davewe Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 That really looks great. Some of the pictures on German's website aren't so hot and don't put their straps in the best light so to speak. You should send them this pic.
