From gold to... well, gold.

Swapping the Corrigia for the Di Stefano today, as it just came in the door...

In a different style, I just mounted my 243 on a military green and leather Velcro strap. I was not sure I liked it at 1rst but after a couple of days I love it.

The rubber belt came with it, but I'll remove it as it's useless and is a dust magnet.

Artsy clip detailing the production of a gator strap - it's only a dinky 20mm but the video is quite well done.

Anyone have an Equus strap? Might give one a try....

I got it with the watch, maybe former owner Olavmol can chime in if he knows where the strap is from.

Looks great and good quality to me.

That’s freaking nice!

I like leather. And I do t hear much about Thomas’ straps, but to me, they are up there with Corrigia and Di Stefano...

Here’s my 372 on a Thomas Handmade.

I LOVE AMMO STRAPS!

It has to be said there is just something really cool about a good ammo strap, wether it has a specific history, origin, smell, texture, patina. Every one has a little bit of character and life to it.

Im going to post a few I think.....

This one on the BRONZO is a spectacular Swiss Ammo strap from Ted-Su, lots of beautiful details on this, from the stitching to smooth patina, definitely different to the Gustav ammo straps I have posted previously!.

Carrying on with the British line up. From strap maker Mark Sanders, A British Thompson machine Gun ammo pouch turned strap!.

Lovely stitching on this one.

Let's see some detail shots of your Adeeos... Been looking for one but they seem to disappear quickly.

Speaking of David, this one had a little spa treatment today while the 127 is off having a service... Gustav ammo.

So, my 3 Cordes straps are all finished and headed across the pond - should have them on Thursday. Looking forward to seeing the craftsmanship first hand and fitting them up.

These pics were sent prior to the holes being punched:
