V Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I have made 2 new straps today for myself and I wanted something different than what I have... Although Tan is the first option for stitching colour to a burgundy and brown strap I want something different... There are 3 options threads for 2 straps... Blue - Yellow - Dark Brown WHich thread to which strap please? I personally think Burgundy/Dark blue and Brown/Yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Burgundy/Dark brown and Brown/Yellow. Blue on anything even vaguely suspected to belong to the brownish family (like Burgundy) would be an heresy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about this greg strap? It looks nice to my eyes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Love that yello one V, i wish i could stich like you, great work mate. Thanks a lot my friend.. I always say that I have to do a step-by step tutorial of how I do my straps.. And then my thumbs after I finish the stitching to justify the price On our subject matter.. don't you think the yellow one is a liitle bit too 'in your face' ?

FxrAndy Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 On the right day when you feel happy and want to stand out a bit why not, why else wear a panerai if we want to be subdued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 V, You should make a burgandy strap with that royal blue thread. That would make any PAM with blue hands really POP. -Brent P.S. What are you waiting for on the tutorial? You could probably make more $$$ selling that than your straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Very fine stitch work, V! The yellow looks killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tech Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 V, the brown with yellow looks great....how about some pix of it with some watches....need to get some ideas as to which one it would look best with... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yellow Stitch looks good. Maybe you could try a butter/cream colour to match the lume on certain PAMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Think so heh? Hmmm.... but blue on tan is looking very nice no? What about this greg strap? It looks nice to my eyes.. Hmmmm.... that does look good. I especially like the tumbled leather. And the blue stitch would look great on something like a PAM 89.

Here is on the Base.. and here on the Ferrari : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Looks very sharp on the Ferrari!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solchitlins Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 you should call that color combo the "Charlie Brown". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ferrari for sure....have you already done a black/yellow stitch to match the Ferrari...you know, the one that takes petrol and has 6 speeds... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I prefer the blue stitch model. Yellow is pretty in your face. Works better with the 008. Not so good with the 112. Kostas, your workmanship is top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have to admit that that burgundy+blue is better than I suspected (still not so good to me though), and the brown+yellow is worse than I hoped (it may fit only a Ferrari also in my opinion). Anyway, you are an awesome strap maker, whichever colors you use. And de gustibus non est disputandum... Btw, I find that Greg's strap gourgeous but for the stitch color.
