Vietnamese Strap Makers on Ebay

[Lagunax]

You can, they will.
just message them first about an item before you buy.

As a side note, this South American vendor, Andrea, has made custom orders for me before. For vintage cow leather goods she is great but probably would stick to Tuan for alligator or croc. The vintage strap you see in my pic is hers.

Tuan said he can make any size and any color.

I just received black croco strap from Tuan:

Overall, my review of Tuan:
* Communication: very good. Tuan always replied my emails quickly.
* Time frame: great! Tuan only needed 2 days to complete my custom order. Mailed on the 3rd day by EMS, arrived in about 3-4 days.
* Materials: I'm not a leather expert, but his genuine croc leather is much better than the rep croco leather.
* Workmanship: good, not great. Stitching is not completely in straight line. But for $29, it's very good value for money.

Did he charge you for ems or was it free?

Some more pics of Tuan's black croco on my pam 512:

Sorry for crappy pics, I'm not pro.

It's additional $25 for EMS speed post. Very fast from Vietnam to Indonesia

Whats the thickness of Tuan's straps?

 

[Eschenpod]

I sent Tuan a link to this page and ABfarms review.

Pointed out the comment about the stitching not being perfectly straight.

Tuan replied "I will try work better for strap for all."

So there is no way to get pam style strap holes?

So I took the plunge on getting an AP strap made. I carefully measured my watch up and sent Tuan a schematic. He was really responsive and made the below strap. The stitching is a little messy, but the croc looks outstanding!

Just waiting on delivery now, should come any day. Hopefully it fits, if not - hey it's only $38 including shipping. Bargain!

What color is that? Reddish brown.. For the price it's worth it.

Yeah I asked for chocolate brown, but that's what he had. I haven't received it yet, so I can't confirm the exact colour but I imagine it isn't far off what you see. I just hope it fits!

 

[theflyingdutchman]

Very interresting, if he can improve his stiching....

Nope.

Something along these lines might do the trick for Pam Straps:

There are a million different variations, but even something as simple as this could work if you have the steady hand for it:

I just bought one of these straps a couple days ago. It was advertised as 115/75, but was actually 120/75.

I am intending to get a leather strap for my Pam 299. Which size should I be getting? 24mm? My wrist is kinda small, about 6inch, possible to request for a shorter strap? And where can I get Pam buckle?
