New Custom strap for my flightdeck steel bezel! (FINISHED, UPDATED PICS INSIDE)!!

88read a few post below for some pics of the finished product on the watch. Pics are only from the iPhone (until I get my proper cam this weekend.**

___________________________________________________________
New strap for my uboat flightdeck (Ive modified the whole watch to be an exact replica of the Uboat Flightdeck steel bezel model, like on the website)

Very VERY happy with how Jeremy at Prime Straps got this strap done and exactly how I pictured it in my mind when designing. I also wanted to incorporate the gen uboat clasp and uboat plaque, which gives it a completely different look. The zgreen is beautiful with lime bursts in the leather (strap picture brightness is a bit low).

Anyhow, heres a couple of pics of the finished product and my watch that will be mounted to it.

Again, a Massive thank you to Jeremy at Prime Straps for doing such a great job, cant wait until It arrives hopefully end of this week. )

What a nice looking Strap! That color will be a very nice match to the PVD from the Flightdeck!

Cant wait to see that combo. What is your wrist size Seth? and what length of strap is this.

Definitely, Jeremy is an artist, the level of attention to details is amazing.

 

[Sethgun]

wrist is just under 7 i think. I got him to make it slightly shorter as the strap that came with the clasp so it wouldnt be too long. Yeah I cant wait for it t arrive, should be here this time next week.

I really wanted to to be green somehow, just didnt know how. When he showed me some green leather samples, this colour just jumped out at me. The strap is a bit lighter than in the pics, you can notice the bits of lime more and the colour all over is slightly lighter.

Jeremy does do some magic straps, and good communication. He has been very buay lately with work so I was lucky to get it sorted so quick

Im a happy camper

Wow, indeed that combo looks great!!

 

[Sethgun]

yeah I cant wait for it to arrive. He even sent it usps ems so it gets to me (hopefully) this week. I worked with the colour I wanted and continued from there.

FINALLY received my custom u-boat strap and on my baby

Heres some updated shots that dont really show the real detail and neatness, as I only have my iphone until the proper camera arrives this weekend.

Pretty stoked with the end product. Ive self modded a pvd flightdeck 50mm to look and operate EXACTLY like the u-boat flightdeck 50mm steel bezel model. The uboat clasp and plaque are gen, but didnt use the brown layer at all. Jeremy @ Prime Straps did a fantastic job with all the design details....came out better than expected.

Anyway, heres some iphone pics for now, they dont do it justice with an iphone camera

It's a stunning combo! I love your Flightdeck and is now even better with this awesome strap! Do you mind asking how much did you pay for it?

 

[Sethgun]

Well I wont lie, In the end it only cost $30 for ems express post; Jeremy did the strap for free because alot of work commitments came up and he was unable to work on it until last week. Normally he charges (I think) $85, so I got a good deal


Regardless, he did a magnificent strap and, its hard to make out with iphone pics, but the strap really does look and feel great.

 

[shelby1501]

Wow, you got a great deal! Regular price is also ok for something like this. Wear it well!

 

[Sethgun]

thanks mate Yeah I had no problem paying for it, but Jeremy was nice enough to do the whole thing for free, due to christmas and new year work commitments. We went halves on EMS usps postage and got the watch yesterday..not even a week, and thats from the US to Australia!

Very Nice Seth! Wear it well! and keep the pictures coming!
How smooth is the strap?

Thanks Mirage, yeah im pretty happy with how it all turned out. Beautiful and smooth. Its about double the thickness of the standard strap, fits perfectly and makes the watch look beefier. I had him make the long end about 5-10mm shorter so that the strap isnt visible looking at it from the front (ive got a smaller wrist size). Colour is fantastic up close; Its a darker army green with bursts of line coming through, and the black stitching and rivets really set it off.

Couldnt have asked for a better job really :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This strap would look kickass on your pvd uboat, theres something about black on green that I love.

Whats that other watch lurking on the background?

 

[Sethgun]

Thats a collector Invicta Quinotaur Russian Diver 50th anniversary (they sold out in 2009-2010. Thats a beast; 52mm diameter, 61mm including crown on a custom strap from Joe @snpr straps

 

[Sethgun]

Had a few requests for more detailed shots. I took these from thethe better camera, although im no expert and editing

Enjoy!
