Hi guys, just received this strap from my local strap artist....even though the general rule is that croc are for dressy watch, I think this 4.3mm thick hornback suit the rough style of 243 quite nicely....what do you think?



With real croc on the back side as well


The color changes under different light

Hey

i just ordered a blue croc strap from tedsu with blue stitching. Yours looks nice! Its more of a dark dark blue? The first few pics contrast is very high so it looks blue. The later pics are much darker? How much did the strap cost you and does this strap maker have a website?

Cant wait to get my blue croc strap... maybe this friday if im lucky or next monday :woo:

Thanks for the kind word guys...

He's a local strap artist in my country, and this is my second strap that comes from him.

I think I will liaise with him to market his strap later on....with this quality, I think it's time for him to go international.

looks even better on the wrist stealthy!
personally the only thing i wouldve changed is add some padding to "puff" up the strap abit..to kinda balance the submersibles thickness..but thats just personal preference.. maybe you can try it in future and see if you like it :)

Hey Shooboo, thanks for the compliment. Actually this is already 4.3mm thick, how much more do you think I should add? Might try it in the future mate.

Vind, this is the H-Fac version, and from what I've read the Noob v2/3 is even better. Frankly, I never thought that I will like it, I think its ugly as hell....but a friend of mine bought one and the quality is really astonishing, decided that I have to have it and here I am.
