Recommended custom strap/ style for Fifty Fathoms

[Akra]

Thanks Bro @JackJ1980 for the suggestion and guidance. However, I had to slice open the rep strap and pry the lug bar out with a plier.

Care to share what spring bars do you all use in replacement to the hex screw bars? Panatime spring bars or fat bars. Care to share some links and specs?

I was trying to find for the same hex screw bars I damaged on Taobao. Could find any but ended up buying these:

hex screw removal tool (RMB 116 for two)

Fifty fathoms deployant buckle with rep sailcloth strap (RMB 198)

Does that hex screw removal tool fit the Noob V1 screws tightly? I might want to order some aswell.

The hex tool looks like the ones ZF supplies with their BPff,s and they definately dont fit the NOOB hex scews which are I beleive 0.9mm hex key.

Hi guys sorry for the late reply. As Phener9 mentioned, the hex sxrews does not fit the Noobs.

Thanks for posting this. I've been tempted by this guys straps before, but this might be the time that I cave in and get one. His pics are awesome!

Get them all..... lol
Which ones are you thinking? His pics are so good that he could make a cardboard strap look like a million bucks.

Maybe the croc with rally holes or the dark brown ... They are not cheap although

I'm sure either one would look great. Very different looks. I think I would get tired of the rally strap look, but that's just me. Make sure and post pics.

... They are not cheap although

yea, no kidding. That's why the attempt at humor. I've searched high and low for different strap makers and Dangerous Nine straps are definitely at the top in both quality and price.

Dang I wish they were not so expensive. If they weren't I probably would actually buy a handful of them....

Right now mine is on a Bakeka #62 Havana. I ordered it for a Panerai that I no longer have. It is 24/22 so it is a little wider than ideal, but it still works well. My wrist is about 7 3/8 and this watch fits really well for how big a dial it has.

I asked dangerous9straps about the price of 2-3 straps. Lol, they are more expensive than the watch!

What did he say specifically? How much for which ones?

 

[freediver]

bought a custom strap from Aprell
currently is in my moder for the fitting
I know most people prefer the vintage/croc type but i prefer more modern pattern

Close to 450 euros for the first matte alligator (black), 480 euros for the second (brown alligator) and 330 euros for the black lizard with the rally holes. In these prices add also 19% vat for EU the clasp and shipping

That is what I thought you were going to say. Someone must be buying them at that price because he claims that he has a long list and long wait times. Personally I think that no matter how nice they are they can not be worth that much more than some of the other really nice strap makers straps.

I'm 100% certain that if you sent one of those pics to Orloff or to Jacobstraps either one of those two would produce a strap that looked almost identical and just about anyone would say is easily 95% as nice for roughly 1/3 the price. Last time I bought a croc strap from Orloff about 6 months ago it was $125 and it is super nice!
