HauteHippie Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 A couple new straps are on their way to me.... What do you guys think?
HauteHippie Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Posted January 17, 2008 Both nice. Savage? First one is a Saddle Tan Savage. Second one is a Brindle Vintager. Micah is replacing an old strap I bought from him two years ago which had separated for free. He gave me my choice of anything he currently offers, and I went with the Brindle. Talk about customer service!
marianetty Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 great straps, like the 2 one more. On what watch are you going to use them???? Would like to see photo with the straps

Would like to see photo with the straps The only two wearable PAMs I have at the moment are a 196 and a 63. One of these days soon I'll rig up my lighting equipment against and take some pics.
lanikai Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Bootiful... rich colour very nice......
Victoria Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 No way! One is the Savage British tan. A beauty which Savage made for me (I had planned to feature it in my last Great Panerai Strap Caper). He said I got the last one, because he ran out of hide. Great to see he's got more. The last one...looks like a Micah? It's very nice either way, CT. You've got great taste, and that's because it's the same as mine. EDIT: The Brindle, oh very nice. Not very popular, and that's a GOOD thing. Like Micah's Pale Rider, he's only ever made two and one is mine!
yellomen Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Nice straps Chief! And it is indeed great customer service.

Victoria- It's a different hide than yours. A little less orange hence the change in name from British Tan to Saddle Tan. I've not been able to get any more of the other and you did, in fact, get the last one. All the best! Savage

I've not been able to get any more of the other and you did, in fact, get the last one. Fittingly perhaps. The British girl got the last British Tan. Good to see that you have a similar one though, Savage. I have wanted to get another for the Fiddy, and at least the forum knows you have one. Anything else new hide-wise? I'm thinking of getting something from you and Tootall soon. @Sav below: "Informative" rating. Thanks!

I have at least two new hides coming in. One should be here within a week or so and the other probably 2-3 weeks. I'll post something when I can get some pics. I have samples, but you never know exactly about dye lots etc. So, I don't want to post and then have the actual hide be slightly different. Savage
cronsell Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I ordered a Brindle strap from Micah about three weeks ago...I can't wait to put it on my 127! I can't wait to actually RECEIVE the 127 either...placed that order around the same time...the joys of waiting...
HauteHippie Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 The Brindle arrived and I've had it on my 196 for a couple days now... It's slightly stiffer than some of his other straps, but not too stuff and plenty comfortable. It looks great.... and SMELLS great!! I'm almost tempted to see how it tastes.

That sounds great, I can't wait to get mine!!! Especially since the postman delivered a little package from Angus today...the fiddy has landed!!! What a watch, what a watch....too bad that rep strap looks like total crap! chieftang: Did you get the sewn in buckle or are you using a preexisting one? I haven't decided yet whether I should use the rep buckle (it seems nice, but what do I know, I'm a newbie!) or have Micah sew in his...thoughts, opinions? victoria can chime in too, being the resident strap expert and fellow owner of a Vintager Brindle!

Any buckle will work. I have used Micah's buckles and they're fine. The absolute nicest buckles I've seen are the ones used by Greg Stevens. But I have a surplus of these: I like them alot. They're almost as nice as Greg's but not quite. Their curved shape tends to leave less of an indentation in the strap than Micah's buckles. So I don't pay for sewn-in buckles anymore.
cronsell Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks chieftang, so your response begs the question...where do I find the buckle in your photo? Has the supply dried up, or can I order them still?
tmg Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 I love the texture of the Vintager Chief , post some pix up when you have them mounted.
HauteHippie Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks chieftang, so your response begs the question...where do I find the buckle in your photo? Has the supply dried up, or can I order them still? I think you can get them from panatime.com. They're the more expensive Pre V buckles... I prefer the screws to the spring bars. They are available in polished, brushed, and PVD finishes.
