AP Diver in tactical gear

[donerix]

Finally finished my pool and my new workshop and had some time to play around with some ideas I had.
I have made probably over a hundred AP Diver straps by now, but I started to get tired of all the croc, hornback and shark versions and wanted something a bit more tactical.
A customer ordered a nice grey canvas strap for his AP Diver:



And that got me to think and I made this:





Can be worn as a bund strap or as a regular strap. I tapered this one down to 18mm at the tail and buckle because I didn't want it to over power my regular size wrists (7"):












Now I just wish I had never soid my DLC APD, because this combination sure would look stunning:



My friend who bought it from me gave it to me to take the pic (... and ordered the strap already ). Great to see the difference of VAC's work in comparison to a stock watch - especially the crystal:



BTW - VAC was extra nice and made me a blue seconds hand which will be installed ASAP.

Very nice! Kevlar would also look really cool.

Very nice looking strap, makes the whole watch look so different from the usual rubber or leather strap.:thumbsup:

By the way, i'm just curious to know that is it possible to make a strap for diver using sailcloth?:thinking:

holy shit.. I want one!! can you make one in gun metal grey? PM me a price if you could.. thanks

Will have to look for canvas in that color, but shouldn't be too hard ti find.
Sailcloth will work but is - like canvas - a bi@tch to work with..
