1976 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Posted April 6, 2008 Hi, I would be interested too... Hi Pix,i think it would look exellent on a brown croco,like the Da Vincis.
chad Posted April 6, 2008 Report Posted April 6, 2008 I would be interested also. I was thinking if you sent a kevlar strap to ABP paris or someone like that, they could do it. Chad
Ylfig Posted April 6, 2008 Report Posted April 6, 2008 So would I. My kevlar Ingy strap is starting to look a bit ragged and I wouldn

Pix Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Excellent ! I want it ! I'd go for a smooth black one. And surely for an AP RO strap too... Fantastic advice, thank you !
yellomen Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Looking good, those straps!!!! I inquired with HKTan last year but there was some miscommunication i guess and it never came to a nice strap... but this is promising

raguse Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 That was VERY nice straps BUT I think that the straps has to be reinforced at the end of the strap on this kind of attachment at the of the strap! The ingenieur is quite heavy so the strap has to be sturdy at the end of the strap , otherwise it will become loser and loser to the watchhead. The original ( kevlar strap ! ) has metal ( inside at the end of the strap ) where it is attached to the watch and on the pictures You can not see if there is some kind of reinforcement to make it sturdier. Of course you are in right. You can see in spanish Gen forums , a metallic piece inside al the end of the strap. There I have seen them. hxtp://www.relojes-especiales.com/foros/showthread.php?t=44530 But I dont know who much is the price , doesn
Pix Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Excellent. As long as the price is under the gen price, I would buy it. Just inquired now, it seems he speaks English. Perfect link. I have also inquired in ABP, but it seems more comfortable with this guy, you don't have to give so many measures.
z3k0 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Great link, this really made my day ... I was thinking how nice would croco look on my Ingy for looong time @Pix - please keep us posted about results of your inquiry. regards
dluddy Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Wow, these would be great. Please let us know how it works out Pix

Pix Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks a lot. Indeed I got his answer after midnight. I will go for him (prepare everything now) as he knows the Ingy already. I got an answer from ABP, who is really willing to help but they say they have never done any strap for this watch and invite me to visit them to check how to do by having a look at the watch I won't, for several reasons you can imagine, the first being simply that I don't live in Paris...

yellomen Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 Why not buy a kevlar strap from Angus, strip off the kevlar and fit a new alligator jacket around the inner of the strap?
sss Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 I can do them, (located in the US). Send me a PM for more detail...
Pix Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 Why not buy a kevlar strap from Angus, strip off the kevlar and fit a new alligator jacket around the inner of the strap? I think it can't be well finished, because it's this special structure with metal parts which prevent to stick something thick on it. Result on the rep kevlar strap are uneven angles and not completely covered metallic parts. These are the flaws which made me want to find some other strap. I can do them, (located in the US). Send me a PM for more detail... That's most interesting and there are surely many potential buyers around. Do you have pictures of your straps to post here for everyone ? Thank you.
1976 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Posted April 8, 2008 I also made a contact with Jakobs for a brown croco strap,once i have the payment info,i will have a very happy ingy
