In my never ending quest for the perfect strap, of late I have been looking at alligator and after much research I found this guy who custom makes watch straps, belts, boots and other things using exotic skins.

It took less than one week to make this custom burgundy strap. The buckle is from Elliot. I am pleased with the results. Any comments?

It looks very nice!

If it fits you well, it's not a problem, but I think most people would prefer the none-buckle side to be a bit longer. Most seems to be about 5:3 ratio... or so.

I have some gator straps and I actually don't like having too much "tail" (as most people call it), so it's definitely fine by me.

If it's affordable, I am sure a lot of us will be interested ;)

26mm Strap

With all due respect.......

For a 26mm strap it needs to be cut 26.33mm so that you cannot see the screw......in the pictures it looks to be cut 24mm and it looks like both sides are cut the same length.....

I like the Croc....

I think I have one just like it [well, 26/22], for my 231 Radiomir - is it from Germano?

Looks great on your Fiddy!

When I ordered it I asked for a 26mm / 24mm and that is what he sent me. Funny, I cannot see the screw showing at all, it seems to be a clean fit. The the buckle tounge was a bit tight but the 26.33 cut might be a good idea to ask if I get another. The guy who makes them is out of Calif. and does alot of custom work, not Germano though. Thanks for the compliments :D
