I just received a new strap for my Pam438 from Corrigia, quite happy with this combo, what do you guys think?

Another preview of a strap being made for me, this time a 24mm Gustav Ammo from Cordes :)

I can almost smell the gunpowder from here!.

Amazing patina on that one....

Did you commission it for a particular watch?

A few of mine (current and previous straps)

I have a couple your straps on a couple of my AP's - lovely work....

Perhaps I should try one for a PAM - will PM you.

It looks as though you curved the lug ends on a couple of the straps pictured above?

Thanks mate :)

The one you are reffering to have a special insert i made to close the gap between the lugs and strap. Just like the ones in your AP straps.

They only fit the 44mm Luminor case, not the 1950

I like the tone, texture and color of this.

Nice. Tempting.


Actually, I've been looking for a pretty gnarly and chunky gator that has a ton of character and is all bumpy and out of control.

Any ideas who a good maker is for these? I talked to dangerous9 and he only had scraps of good gator like this.

Anyone else have any ideas?

You beat me to it.... I saw G post a picture of that lovely section of vintage cognac on HF. Unfortunately when I PM'd him, he was already sold out.

Lovely strap.

You could try Kain Heritage for one of his Gnarly dinosaur 'esque' straps. I have a 24mm from him that is pretty gnarly in places.

I agree. I have a couple of his too for my 3646 welded lug - very soft.

If you don't already have one, I'd recommend that you spec a 27/24mm in Horween chromexcel for your wire lug Radiomirs from David. The fit is incredible and beyond comfortable - the pictures below don't do justice to the way the leather has conformed to the shape of the lugs.

That looks fantastic, I have a few heroic18 straps for the RADS in 27/24mm also superbly made, ill post some pics of those too, I don't think heroic do them in that size anymore.... got one mounted on my 288 at the moment will posts some pics tomorrow. I had David make me one for a RAD not long ago ( a Gustav) with Torched buckle. Goes well on my 508 at the moment.

I would hazard a guess that Italian blue strap has a hot date planned with a 228 Firenze boutique edition? Well played if so.
