I had a piece of Boa left over and finally got around to make some straps for my AP Wempe (thanks gazumi, my watchman even got it to work) and my B&R 01-97 (thanks Brobert):

Here are the first two prototypes (I had to hurry a bit so the finish is not my usual quality):

I forgot the pins for the AP straps at the shop so I just pushed some springbars in there for the pics - therefor the not sp perfect fit.

How do you get the time to do all those great stuff?


I sleep usually no more than three hours, thanks to a healthy diet of energy drinks and Marlboro Reds.

Wonder why all the women leave after a while ....?

You don't have any warnings on the Marlboro that say something about no getting it up anymore! lol !!!

My last GF actually accused the producers of SOBE Adrenaline of adding viagra to the mix:

"Es viagra liquido ...."

Thanks Pierre:

I actually love it.
I used to own a watch called Alpha that looked really similar and survived everything.
I might have to get myself a high quality version one day.

Brazilian girls need to keep up with the speed of brazilian men (although I will only talk for myself :lol:) [smilie=angel12.gif]

Not to forget to comment on your straps, Donerix..
...and they look amazing, I specially like the Audemars Piguet, but the shape of the B&R strap is really creative! I think the next step is to make some leather straps for Hublots, and them we all could have some nicer look than those boring rubber ones, since the Bracelet isn´t available yet.

Would that be tricky? Dunno how the Hublot straps get disassembled, but as far as I saw in the pics, it looks that removing the screws that hold it both from the sides and from the face of the strap wouldn´t be difficult, then to get the leather strap perforated for the screws too.
Ever thought about it?

Awesome straps you have made there, Donerix! Congratulations, man, PRO stuff there!
8) :D

Cheers,
Spirit.

I was looking at them online (the steep prices have so far kept me from buying one).
It shouldn't be so hard.
One day I buy one and make a sample.
Or - if someone has an extra strap send it to me and I make one.
