Very impressive. Great match !!!!!!I was lucky to purchase an incredible Kpoy 3652 SF240 from a good friend recently. An amazing homage of the prototype Radiomir with CG - however the strap was not quite up to the standard of the watch. I brought the watch with me on trip to the UK and had my friend Cordes create a new strap for it while I was in the country. Of course, being a Radiomir with soldered lugs, the original strap had to be carefully un-picked and the new one sewn on...
The goal was to match the vintage 'patina' of the watch with a suitable ammo sourced strap. I already had a wonderful 'natural' French ammo strap from Cordes that had a lovely almond tan tone that I thought would be a perfect compliment to the soft stainless case, textured dial and blue Angelus hands - so he went through his stock and found the perfect pouch. I kept the GPF buckle that Kpoy made but we went with more width at the lugs - as you can see from the 'before' pics, the original 26mm was too narrow for the lugs. The selected pouch had some amazing wear marks that we made sure to incorporate into the strap - along with an truly 'vintage' smell ;-)
Here's the before:

I love the result.
Stunning combo! Does he have a website to place orders or see other leathers?The distressed pistachio is finished - and they start their journey...
