V Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Finished two black straps yesterday with my new hides I got on my last trip.. I have to say that both straps have the exact look I wanted to achieve on my watches. The shrunk on the Ferrari has a contemporary look with that texture and very close to the OEM Ferrari strap. I decided to put Black stitching because I want to wear it with my 112 as well. The one on my Cali dial is LONG wrap around with tail and it has copper stitching like the PAV98 strap. The colour of the stitching matches perfectly the copper ring around the numbers I am making today another one like this in 24/24 same specs as the PAV98 (same colour only with better leather than the PAV ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Nice soft looking leather V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Nice soft looking leather V Thanks Andy.. THey are both indeed very soft. Since the leather was very soft and thick I decided to use a different bit harder and thinner leather for backing to balance the thickness/softness. I guess you know that working with a very soft leather is a pain in the @ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Great straps and very reminiscent of the Pre-V Dirks. Enjoy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 fantastic and i might say that your skills have improved such that they are indistinguishable from the the best in the business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yellow stitching to match the hands would probably be sharp.....just my opinion, but I agree, they're beutiful! Great looking straps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks a lot guys for your kind words.. Yellow stitching to match the hands would probably be sharp.....just my opinion, but I agree, they're beutiful! Great looking straps! I couldn't agree more.. But I want to wear this strap with my 112 as well and the black with yellow stitching won't look good on the 112. But who knows? There is always the possibility of restitching in yellow when I will get bored of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
