To all you strap fanatics (and not so fanatic too) I need some help please. I am trying to make my own strap, and I know I may be gettin a bit anal about this, but I want to have layers of leather. IE; a vintage looking top with a soft lambskin liner. However, I am not quite sure how this accomplished. What I am requesting is if you could please, please, take some close up pictures of the sides of the strap where the lugs are so that I could see how these different layers are attached. It seems that there are 2 to 3 different layers and the top layer is wrapped around the lug, then connected somehow to the bottom layer of the strap. But I couldn't find any pictures showing the sides of the watch around the lug. The problem with this layer method is that if you were to wrap the top layer around the lug and not skive the leather it would be waaay to fat. So I am not sure exactly how it is done. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. If I am just talking crazy please let me know that as well. I may just have to end up buying one these straps and taking it apart to find out the correct method for this.
I have included a few pictures to show what I am talking about.
