Here are some pictures of the strap that arrived today from the Master...
See for yourself what a new strap can do with the 15400.
It's not everyones color choice perhaps but I wouldn't change it for anything else.
Thank you Vic for this!
Thanks for sharing. This is my favorite hide and i have made all kinds of straps from it. It is an oiled alligator that develops a stunning patina in time adding, it has great character.
Is the brown tones light? Or isit largely due to the bright light source?
Vic, you have this hide always? Or is it only a temporary run.
The hide is very nice and it opens up in the light, it is not a mono color, it has different shades of brown which gives the strap a nice depth and character.
I have some more of this hide but not for long, as i'm running out of it fast. I've been trying to get some more for the last 10 months without success.
Was thinking this might be a good match for Cartier Santos 100 xl, or do you have better strap suggestion for that?
You will require the rep strap to make that strap eh?
