Well I had big balls and got this 26/24 for my Pam from Elliot. I was hoping for brown but got a black one with white stitching. Didn't care for the white on the black so I checked my balls and they are big so I leather dyed the stiching black and it is more to my liking. After wearing it for a couple of days and a little mink oil it softened up Real Nice and I like the look better with the blackened stitching what do you think??

Mrs Pugwash keeps threatening to do the same with mine, but I want it to fade to a grey tone and that'd be stunning with white stitching.

Looks great, your balls paid off, as black stitch looks more ballsy to me. Nice job!

Interesting that EHole has "owned" the Dirks name a whopping 6-7 days,, and he's already able to get them produced in China, Get them shipped to the US, ,and THEN get them out to customers!,,, WOW!! Enjoy your Dirks BRANDED strap,, Must be nice to be able to buy a name,, and then call another brand BY that name.... what an E HOLE!

Everytime someone starts a thread about one of TC's straps, one of the Elliott bashers decides to hijack it and make it about their opinions on Elliott.

It's happened to me and I'm personally tired of it. If you want to bash Elliott, start your own thread, or post on Paneristi. Please do not hijack someone else's thread here.

OR,, Maybe he's just renaming other straps he already had that were similar in construction... But hey,, that's just MY opinion...
Dirk is a brand. He told us ages ago he had a new brand coming. I don't get your beef.

I know, I must not feed the troll, but come on.

OOOOOHHH.... He told you he had a NEW brand coming?.... Have you NOT been reading what he did?... He STOLE Dirk's brand name out from under him,, and is now re-branding some of his old straps with that name!,,, HOW do you think it's possible for him to ACTUALLY make a Dirk's strap,, when HE is NOT DIRK?!?!?!?!..... HAAHAHAHHAAHHA,,,, Were you born LAST night?... lololololololol
Very clever. I see the way you did that. You attacked the post, not the poster. Classic move, I'm impressed. That's me beaten right off the bat. Yes, I was indeed born yesterday and

You want Ad Hominem? I'll give you Ad Hominem ...

Learn to type. Your posts are almost impossible to read, you reverse so much I can hear the beep-beep from here!

"I never sold a fake strap on a PAM forum" ... "Oh, that fake strap, I remember"

Dirk is a brand, whether or not you like the way it was set up. I am not defending Elliot here, let's just make that clear.. He can defend himself, and does where needed. Nothing you can say will change that. It's a registered trademark in the US, I believe, for better or worse. If 'Dirk' is a style of Toscana straps now, that's the way things are.

somehow slole the rights to use the name "CHEVROLET" Does that mean when I start calling my cars "CHEVROLET" does that automaticly MAKE them "CHEVROLET" cars????
You mean like Daewoo?

In 2004, Daewoo pulled out of Australia and New Zealand, citing irreparable brand damage. Later that same year, GM announced that Daewoo Motors in Europe would change its name to Chevrolet as of January 1, 2005. In 2005, it was announced that Daewoo cars would have a Holden badge in Australia and New Zealand. In South Africa, Thailand and the Middle East, Daewoo models were already being sold as Chevrolets. Only in South Korea and Vietnam does the Daewoo marque survive.

Perhaps Chevrolet wasn't the best example ... try again.

Well I thought a Dirk was actually a type of scottish Dagger!!!

I bought the strap uknowing of any brand so if it is just a TC strap who cares??? I like the strap and it looks nice. This is a rep forum so who cares if the strap is made in china because the watch is also!! If you don't like it don't buy it!!

Thanks for marring my thread!!!

The thread was looking for how you like the look of my watch and strap combo not how you like the man who sold it to me or how it was made save that for another area of discussion. Get a life!!!

Ace your watch and strap combo look great. I am not a big fan of contrast stitching on the leather straps, your mod to the original stitching looks far better to me than the white stitching on black leather. Wanmadtim

My white-on-black Oreo strap looks good, but in some photos with wildly diffused light, it comes out grey and white, and this look is amazing. So I'm going to have to distress my strap and bleach it lighter.
