Highflyingclive Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 The design is a bit "Village People" for my taste and conservative environment ... but I love the colour of that leather. Clearly, there is no faulting your craftsmanship. To be really critical, (well, you did ask), I think that the stitching on the keepers is distracting and conflicts with the visual flow of overall design. There is so much happening on this strap already, that the contrast stitching on the keepers goes one step too far. Just one man's opinion. I'd be grateful if you would PM me the cost of a standard 24/22 strap in this leather. Regards, Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerco Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 It's a little bit too much for me, HK I like big watches and big straps, but 26 mm is my max. It distracts the attention away from the watch completely. and isn't the purpose of a good strap too highlight the watch instead of the other wayaround ? regards, Gerco ps: This is the largest strap i'm wearing: But i'm sure you'll find buyers. Good luck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 and isn't the purpose of a good strap too highlight the watch instead of the other wayaround ? Not if you make your living out of watch straps ... It's too much for me, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see one on someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmytim Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I've heard a story...about a King ordering someone to make a beautiful box for his big diamond. So they made the most beautiful box in the world and it is so beautiful that the beauty went over the diamond. (or something like that...I'm not good in telling stories) But you get what I mean, let the watch be the center of attraction, not the strap.

hktan Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hi All, Thank you all for taking time out and giving me your thoughts and critcisms on this strap. I have built only 3 so far. I will look into stream lining the design so it wont look to blocky or wide. Best regards and sincere thanks, Aaron HKTAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
