Hi all.
I first contacted petergunny after reading his Pam 104 review from DSN where he also pictured a strap he handmade for his watch. I liked it so much i asked if he would consider making one for me and he agreed.
We exchanged a few PMs and emails where in one he asked me if i cud write a constructive review of his work when i receive the straps :huh:
I came back to him saying that maybe he shod ask someone else with better strap knowledge but he insisted to seek out a "common man" opinion so i said OK ill do it
my gf chanted in the end that if there's an opportunity to make one more for her and what do u know it was not a problem
SPECS 24/24 both, A2 140/80 ,A3 120/70 , thickness cca 5mm, triple padded construction, hand sewn ruff edges vintagized B)
The work begun and updates followed in text as also in pictures ...
- the hide :
- the tools and the materials :
- so we have them cut lets glue them :
- leave them dry :
- one is sewn up
- first with holes second one getting stitched :
both completed looking good cheers pete
- packing them up and shipping to me ...
As u can see there is a lot of work involved in this if peter was not so kind to update me with the progression pictures i would of have no idea ... Straps arrived in my office around 10 working days latter in pristine condition. Package was so to say bomb proof and there was no possible chance of damage on the way ...
I have the straps cca 2 weeks now and have worn mine in rotation. Strap is well constructed and the hide feels plesant on the skin. Also the strap is quite soft out of the box and will not require a break in period. This specific hide has a nice used vintagized look that maker even extended by creating a used looks at the lugs IMHO a nice touch from his side
Stitching matches the hide nice all do maybe shod be a little more precise but for production straps 2 and 3 i think its above average!
I think these are great straps and what is for most made by one of our own members joining the likes of (V,Red 12,FrxAndy and others). Needles to say the strap can be customized on size, thickness or whatever idea u come with ... also from what he told me additional colors and hides are available!
Peter is a great guy and open to any ideas u might have so i urge u to give him a try u wont be disappointed.
I wanna also use this opp. to thank peter for sending this straps for review and also by being one of the EU GTG Raffle sponsors in Koln. (Kelsters review of his fiddy strap to follow )
Last but not least im sure u would like to see how they look mounted --- look no further rolle the pics once more --- watches 111h & 112H straps curtesy of petergunny @ Gunny Straps
Hope u enjoyed this review/pictorial i can recommend peter for any of ure strap needs!
Kind regards Laz
