V Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Well I sourced Metta Catharina (200y.o. Russian reindeer leather) and it has been sent to Aaron for a custom strap with this beautiful LOGO buckle.. More photos when it returns...
groobash Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 very interested in how this turns out. I've been considering the same thing, but having trouble finding the leather
coolfire Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Beautiful, Veni... Very nice antique red to it...Hope it turns out great for ya, and don't forget the pics... btw groobash, I somehow freak out whenever I look at your avatar...
swdivad Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 btw groobash, I somehow freak out whenever I look at your avatar... Haha... me too... It looks like they dredged up Sly Stallone from a river after gone missing for a week.
Quarks Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Best of luck! Would love to see the final outcome of this strap..
groobash Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Haha... me too... It looks like they dredged up Sly Stallone from a river after gone missing for a week. We can't all be born good looking. Someday short fat guys with buldging eyes and greasy hair will be in style, and I will be KING!

Glad to hear it -- am looking forward to pictures of the project!
V Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Posted April 2, 2006 Today it will be finished and Aaron will send me pictures before dispatch
Esmarc Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 Excellent strap Veni, and Excellent job Aaron! Esmarc
V Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Posted April 2, 2006 This is one of a kind strap.. I think I should get a genuine Pam to put this strap on (just kidding) Thanks Esmarc
exper Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 Looks pretty sweet, what was the overall damage like if you dont mind me asking ? Just wondering since Don's offering these now obviously Aaron's build quality should be better so if its cheaper then you might be onto a winner if you are planning on dong these
V Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 Looks pretty sweet, what was the overall damage like if you dont mind me asking ? Just wondering since Don's offering these now obviously Aaron's build quality should be better so if its cheaper then you might be onto a winner if you are planning on dong these It is a strange situation with this strap... 1st the buckle was acquired from a trade I made ( my own CF buffalo strap for david's rep logo buckle with MX style strap) 2nd the leather was acquired from a guy who bought from me on ebay some Panerai tubes. We started exchanging emails and told me he had in his possession a big quantity of the leather and he has send me a sample. the sample, with the buckle went to Aaron for a custom made job for only 40$. So at the end i guess the only money i tranfered from pp is the 40$ to Aaron and the 3$ pound postage. THAT's why for me this strap is my ultimate project.. because considering the DONs sale (200$ with normal buckle) I guess the market price of my strap is around 300$
swdivad Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Ahhh [censored]! I feel an itch coming on.... Beautiful strap my friend... You wanna buy a CF buffalo? lol

bully Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Wow, that's a very nice strap, What size piece of leather do you need to get a strap custom made? chris
V Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 Wow, that's a very nice strap, What size piece of leather do you need to get a strap custom made? chris I guess the size of a medium size wallet... forgot to measure the metta leather
V Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 Ah okay yeap definately an ultimate strap then I was thinking that you were planning on producing these generally for sale after yours was done Personally I don't have the leather to produce, but the guy who has the leather he said he has started negotiating the production in Germany. If everything works well I will buy wholesale some of the straps for re-sale. (of course the straps will have no buckle or just plain buckle-NO LOGO BUCKLE definately)
