So here's the story, i wanter to have a strap for FER 014, with custom stitches to compliment the chrono hands, so i asked Peter to created one for me. I also asked him to make a strap with Deployant Buckle. This is probably the first attempt for Peter with the Deployant Buckle - need to confirm with Peter on this mater, but i must say he succeed in it :) GREAT job peter.

Sent him the existing strap and deployang buckle and voila this is what i get back in return. Safely securely wrapped.

First impression : WOW it has a rich texture

Second Impression : Soft like the Caitlin 1, eventhough it has a rich texture and look more rugged but the feel is still as soft as Caitlin 1

The color is more Tobacco or Brownish rather than Black

I think the strap look nice and feels good when you wear it, it's softness is between Caitlin 1 and Vernon.
I'm getting to like it more and more everytime i look at it. Personally i think this strap would look goon on Brown dial PAM, now i have to source one, and order another thicker meity strap with thicker stitching, damn you Peter :p

I'm not a strap expert nor related with peter. and this review is only my personal opinion :)

ps. the wrist shot will follow

Hi lan61t, you know... making this deployant style strap for you was extremely difficult for new strapmaker like me :) tapered wide and tapered thickness, double difficulties, whewww... finally its done.

When you have time could you pls take picture of the strap attached to your FER014, I wanna see it how is it looks like.

i think the straps is looking good on the FER, give a classier look but still sporty because of the orange stitches.
need to do something with the AR

the strap softness is something in between Vernon and Caitlin 1

i think peter did an excelent job, as you can see different thickness on different part - GREAT job mate :)

GREAT LOOKING and FEEL if you are looking for a dark brown or tobacco color strap. The texture is also very very rich. GREAT JOB PETER:)
