TWG's PAM 217 on a strap made by SilverSurfer

[SilverSurfer]

I´ve been trying to make my own straps, here are my first ones. I know they are not perfect, I hope the following ones will be better.

Sorry for the bad pics.

Salute!

Very nice strap SS, I have my sights on the 217 next.

Thanks Yllwtrb!

Get one, the watch is very nice... IMHO, I think if you have small wrist and if you dont mind wearing a
fantasi model, I´d go for mini fiddy. My wrist is 19 cm (7.5 inches) and sometimes I feel is a tad big for me
specially with thin straps, thats why I started making my own straps. :wink:

I like that strap. The inset stitching makes it stand out.

@silversurfer:

Great looking straps, you've made!!!

Which material do you use to darken the sides of the straps?

 

[brwnrice]

I see the pics just fine.

@andei3000, check your thread in the Replica Discussion forum. I posted a link to the stuff that Greg Stevens uses on the sides of his straps...

Nice straps, SS! Well done, sir. Those are some good looking straps!

Regarding the black material in the edges I took it to a shoemaker, he said it was some type of "wax",
I´ll try to get the details this weekend.

Cheers!

All thlinks are dead. But I see the pictures so no worries.

The edge finishing is Edge Kote. If you are talking about the massed produced straps like TC straps, then you are looking at paint usually. A flexible paint.
