Really interested in your feedback! They offer several very appealing straps for decent prices.

Yes, there are quite a few strap shops on etsy... I know because I had a vintage watch store on there. Happy hunting!

I'm stoked about this.... Just look at the clever shield stitched onto the strap. Looks better than the Gen strap

came today... 10 days to ship from Vietnam. It's an awesome strap - super soft. I'll post pics soon.

That dude makes from great looking straps. And he will customize the size. I have a 7.5" wrist and it's hard to find straps long enough.

Has anyone posted any pics of these straps yet? I have been looking at his straps for some time and searched on here for feedback. I am really digging a few of his offerings but would love to see an end result.

Here are the photos...

My thoughts: I love this strap. It has a nice, natural distressed look. (The genuine Tudor BB strap looks like cracked paint to me). This strap feels solidly made, but is very soft and comfortable. A couple of notes: You need to read the listing and order the right size for yourself. My wrist is a little over 7 inches and I'm on the last hole of this strap. So, I ended up cutting off one of the keepers because it looked silly without the extra slack. Also, you need to order the buckle separately. I ended up getting a sterile PAM style buckle from another vendor. But the Black Forest buckles look really sharp. I may end up picking one up in the future.

Looks great! I really like some of the stuff he is doing. He ended up getting back to me. The strap's I want are $69 & $79 ea (grey gen snake skin & black snake skin with a green keeper) but like you said the buckle is an additional cost. I requested info on this horn buckle ($29) and a stainless steel buckle ($25) which would get you $15 off when you buy a strap and a buckle together . Once I get my Pam 359 MTM watch in later this week I will place my order. I just dont know what size strap it needs so ill wait to confirm that 1st

Cool... I think that is quite a bargain for snake skin. Didn't know about the buckle discount!
