V Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 My buckle strap grail it is.. A 100% genuine (no doubts blah blah blah) GPF-Mod Dep buckle from a Vintage Panerai Compass that was attached on a velcro Extremely expensive but with the amounts of money the vintage Pams cost I think it is a good investment to have one. I have put it on my V Dark Ammo style strap in 26/26 and since it is butter soft it squeezed nicely through the 44mm lugs of my 112 So my 112 will have some actual WWII element to it and not only my war to change my son's nappy I only need to find a nice khaki thread and re-stitch it and it will be finished I think...

V Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I can only say Thanks.. that was my reaction when I opened the package this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 V that looks fantastic and a good investment no doubt... I am actually surprised how good it looks on a 44m modern piece - especially with that strap. I'd love to see it on a 232, 127 , 217 as well as 3636 , 6152 etc... Well done mate!!!

deltatahoe Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 wow looking great V the buckle is of course fantastic, but the leather on the dark ammo strap it looks just deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks guys for your kind words.. Yes I know this would be more appropriate on a vintage Angelus project but the 112 is my favourite watch and it should have gone there. The 112 is modern but with a historic look not the contemporary the automatics like the 104 for example has. This sandblasted buckle being quite dull I think it would be PERFECT for a titanium base like the 176 or the 036. As far as the leather I think my process on this strap has been 100% succesful with a very nice result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 that thing looks like youre strapped into an electric chair! congrats on getting exactly what you wanted tho Well I wouldn't expect everyone to understand what that is, especially from someone with a Rolex in his avatar I can agree that visually it is not the best combo but historic and value wise it cannot be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Awesome strap + buckle combination V. Would really look great on a 036 like dluddy mentioned. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swdivad Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 i am drooling! can't it be repped? LOL... talk to V's buddy E... he repped 'em LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 LOL... talk to V's buddy E... he repped 'em LOL David that is an INSULT !!!!! For those who know something more about GPF, he repped probably the bad rep of Strapmasters.. This Vintage brushed one (not my sandblasted) has only be repped by Kevin/Adeeos for use with some of his Ammo straps to specific customers. When I will have some time I will make a nice interesting post about GPF Mod Dep buckles and the controversy about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot Although I am not quite sure you will be able to see it in your 210 I like the thread as well, but I think it will look better with khaki.. We'll see when I will do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
