marianetty Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) This is a strap I have order to a strapmaker here in Spain. I had the idea of using the rubber strap buckel and to make the leather strap like the rubber one. The leather used for making the straps comes from some baseball gloves I bought on ebay and sent it to the strapmaker. The photos are not of great quality but I think they are good to make an idea. And now the photos. The strap seems to be blue but the color is black. Tomorrow I will try to take better photos and I will change them. What do you think about the straps????

Greystash Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Nice strap marianetty; that's neat workmanship. It's hard to judge the overall aesthetic with the blueish hue. I look forward to the black shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greystash Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) photos changed... Well done marianetty; it's a well made and well matched, solid looking strap. I like it. Edited February 24, 2008 by Greystash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianetty Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 the cost of the strap was 80 euros + shipping. The strapmaker told me it was difficult to make and took a lot of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Sharp strap for the pumpkin UPO. But I bet someone like tootall could produce a black calf with orange stitch strap for less than 80 Euro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Excellent looking strap. I prefer leather straps on all my reps, with the exception of my IWCs, because the bracelets are never quite up to the gen quality. Apart from the IWC bracelets the closest to the gen has been my 'old school' Bond SMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianetty Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 And here are photos of the other stap made by the strapmaker. Which one do you like more????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorg2000k Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 And here are photos of the other stap made by the strapmaker. Which one do you like more????? Love the strap on the Orange bezel Planet. Can these be ordered as I would love a black one ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greystash Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Which one do you like more????? The tan is nice on the orange bezel, but I prefer the black bezel with the black band. Actually, I'd really like to see the black band with white stitching.

FxrAndy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 very nice work, i love them both and that is not a bad price for that work! Very nice stiching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianetty Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 thanks here is his web page hxxp://www.jrartesania.com/frame1.htm. My straps are not there as they are new. But you can ask Jacobo for them. Greystash: you can also ask for one with white stiching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturb Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Loving that strap!! I think the Black strap on the Pumpkin is the best combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
