V Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Just finished a strap from Metta Catharina leather for The Zigmeister (hence the leftovers for the frankenstrap I posted yesterday).. Thought of posting some pics here because you never get tired of looking at Metta straps. and snffing them
cornerstone Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Wow - deeply jealous of that one. Absolutely fantastic.
rolli Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 thats amazing, v. compliment !!! very pricise made. maybe with the black leather paint at the edges if possible. and i would prefer the paci buckle. you can get the paci buckles without mp logo from simona. price euro 20,-- rolli
tutima Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Very well made....I particularly like the stitching on this one.... But I will also echo Rolli's comment: Rather prefer the edges to be painted as well...
Watchmeister Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 V- That is one stunning strap. No one deserves it more than Ziggy and I am glad it is going to him. Heck, I would put away the XaMas' for that one. Beautiful strap.
V Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Thanks guys.. I couldn't than just be extremely precise and perfect in detail for something for The Zigmeister, the same way he is so detailed in modding our watches (his relume in my Cali dial is like made by a machine) The details of the strap are not made by me (it is a thank you gift to The Zigmeister from another member) so I can't change anything
RWG Technical Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 WOW! I am so excited, it looks amazing...can't wait for it to arrive. RG
dluddy Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Looks fantastic Kostas. I wish you made mine as your stitching is superb. A Metta strap is something that has to be held and smelled to be appreciated. You will love it Ziggy. Whatcha gonna put it on Zig
fotoman Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 That is CRAZY good - you have come very far my friend I LOVE it.
Victoria Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 After yesterday's double-fault, you go on to win the set with an ace!! Magnificent. My own Metta Catherina hide is arriving any day now, and I can only dream of having a strap look this way.
V Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 WOW! I am so excited, it looks amazing...can't wait for it to arrive. RG Hey glad you liked it Rob.. THanks guys for your nice comments. I have now made more than 100 straps the last months and can only get better with time and practice.
fishgodeep Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 You done good Veni , complete redemption after the random patchwork craziness of yesterday :-) This how a Metta strap should be made .....much appreciate the attention to detail as I'm sure will Rob ....oh and that smell...!!! Cheers
gianton Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Great strap, very well done K! Can you post a pic of the back of it?
V Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Great strap, very well done K! Can you post a pic of the back of it? Thanks. Basically back of the strap is the same as the front. Can't take a photo because it is already packed to be sent away.
Victoria Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 This how a Metta strap should be made .....much appreciate the attention to detail as I'm sure will Rob ....oh and that smell...!!! I just saw a finished Metta on Risti for sale. Now, sometimes rough stitching works great on a strap. But that one defies description. My mum has a friend who promised to have a look at my incoming Metta hide, and to do the strap for free. Otherwise, V would be a port-of-call, for sure.

If you don't know what kind of job he does give him another piece of leather first to check him. You don't want him to mess with your Metta hide.
V Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Posted March 3, 2008 This is better bro Well this is a proper strap for a customer. The other one was a fun thing to do in an old strap of mine to see how it looks. Don't think they should be compared .. big difference no?
deltatahoe Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 looks fantastic V -- these pictures make me very excited for my metta leather to arrive. you'll have a PM soon deltatahoe
