V Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I got this new strap for my 118.. it is an Allie brown shark customised by V I have restitched it with dark brown thread and put a sewn-in buckle with what else? A shark engraved on it I think it looks very nice with my 118...the texture is one of the best i ve seen in a shark strap similar to Simona's MUCH more expensive ones. Only thing that bothers me a bit is that at the tongue side lug it is around 23mm instead of 24mm and it shows a bit of the tube.. but I know I am a bit anal about details Anyway.. enjoy the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Looks great K. I've not been bitten by the shark yet but this one looks really nice on the 118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Looks great K. I've not been bitten by the shark yet but this one looks really nice on the 118 Hey D I do have a history with shark straps... When I was around 15 (about 16 years ago) there was a trend in greece and in my school for Camel watches.. I was in a school were most students were rich. The watches were nothing special but they were expensive for my family at the time.. SO my first ever replica was a Camel about 15 years ago with faux painted chrono.. very cheapo To cut it short after a year my parents decided to buy me as a present a genuine Camel.. I was thrilled but the first thing I thought was to change the strap.. I have seen in the same store a nice Shark strap grey/black.. and the first thing I bought then with my own money was this shark strap to put to my gen Camel So yes I am a calf guy myself (no exotics) but I have a soft spot for shark straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
