Got my DSN 111H a couple of weeks ago, and must say I am very pleased with the overall looks.
Some "minor" things could be better IMO..the sandwichdial is not what I call a sandwich dial.
The two dials has no space between eachother ane the crown could be a little fatter/thicker and closer to the case.
Anyway...I went to my shorepair/saddlemaker shop and asked if he could make me a strap?
Ha had never done any before, but after some meshurement, drawings etc. he said yes to make one.
The outcome wasn´t "perfect", but ok, ok...some adjustments will be made before the next order.
The stich must be thicker and bigger holes for the buckle...
I have also put some grease on the stiching for a more brown and dirty look (not seen in the pics)

Here are some pics....

That strap is BEEFY! Looks great on the watch and overall the Davidsen 111 looks really good I'm hoping to get a 177-h from him soon.

The strap looks great, and it looks very thick. Never thought i would say it, but i like it.

That's amazing for a first go. Very impressed. What did he charge?

BTW, where did you get that kick-a$$ buckle?
