1,000 POSTS, a big Thank You to RWI

[J.Prime]

I've just crossed the 1,000 post mark!! This is cool, and it is exactly one year ago right now that I was bugging Trailboss for a dealer position here on RWI. I had began working with leather earlier in 2010 and had a pretty decent strap. This is the exact strap I sent to Trailboss, for his DSSD, to convince him of the quality and the next day I was part of the RWI Dealer family!!!

One year later I would like to thank everyone who has one or more of my straps for the incredible support!!! Seriously, seeing my work pop up in wrist shots and review threads is wonderful. It has been a great year and I wouldn't have been able to develop my work and create new designs without all the wonderful people here on RWI.

This truly is an amazing place. The wealth of knowledge within and absolute generosity of the members is un matched. I've been helped, offered free parts and looked out for by people I've never met. Made some great friends, and increased my knowledge of watches in ways that most Gen owners never will It is a pleasure to be part of such a great community.



Here are a few of the first straps I ever made over a year ago:

And here is the evolution in just over a year:

Thank you again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!! :band:

And a great strap it is too mate! Here's a pic of it doing duty at the flood cleanup back in February (after several coats of Mink Oil) hanging off one of our fire trucks. It's still on the watch, still being worn and looks better every day.

Yeah I know, I'll get a 20mm buckle for it one of these days.

Congrats on the 1000 posts. Only 10500 or so more to catch me up

The case is a perfect project for the coming year!! I'm planning to dabble in some new things, like making my Girl a badass clutch for example!!
