I'm looking to purchase a strap for my pvd 111. I really like the one on pam2pam's album. I tried emailing him but no response.

Most likely I'll end up getting this one. Manifatture Firenze

Is there any other straps simular to these out there? I don't want to spend an arm and a leg though.

You can check these out, I think SC might have something close to what you are looking to get in brown with black stitching.

I'm sure there are a few more strap options out there if your looking for the dark stitching to go with the pvd. Just can't think of them off the top of my head.

Good luck.

MET-Rx,

Thanks for the link. Good stuff and good price! But the size is too big for me. I'll keep looking around.

I got this from watchinger here and you can get it on ebay. (Buckle it from TC.) Price was VERY good.

What kind of price range are you looking ? I know of some great straps, and some custom but they don't come cheap.

If you want a lower price strap with a pvd buckle but no black stitching, you can try this:

If you wanted, you can make it have black/dark stitching on your own quite easily.

No more than $120 USD.

How does one make his own dark stitching? I've entertain the idea of dying the stitching but afraid to stain the leather.

Thanks

Exactly.

Also using some black shoe polish can do the trick. Just be aware as you apply it and cover the leather accordingly.

If not you will end up with a slightly darker strap! :shock:

Argh! That's the strap I want. I've emailed him twice more than a couple of days ago and no response. I followed the instructions in his description too. WTH?

hmmm. i don't know. i last heard from him 9-28-06 and he said my strap would be done monday and i would receive it in about 10 days after that. he has been returning my e-mails in about 24 hrs. maybe he is having internet connection troubles. i know my wireless router is having fits and i am going to replace it monday. it will be working perfectly and then i will lose my connection for 20 or 30 minutes and it starts working again.

it's hard to say but he has been prompt in returnig my e-mail. don't give up, this guy rocks.

he e-mailed me this morning and they made my strap in the wrong color. it is a little too light colored. he said if i didn't like this color they would make me another one immediatly. this guys communication and honesty is second to none.

i like it but i liked the other color better, if i had the money i would take both of them but i can only buy 1 right now so this one is avaliable right now if anybody is intrested. just e-mail him back this picture if you are intrested. it is 120/80 tan vintage calf with double black stitching.
