Vintage Donerix Box and Gunny Straps

[unregistered]

Got two lovely presents yesterday in a day full of ups and downs.

My long awaited Donerix box came, packaged well and covered in stamps, though unfortunately some damage did occur during shipping. The clasp broke and one screw came loose plus the hinge looks a little wonky now. But overall, it's a stunning box and I love it.

Next came 3 straps from our great strap smith Gunny. After trying on a few at the most recent Singapore GTG I straight away went ahead and ordered 3 from him. One Caitlin 2, one 74 and one Verdi.

I love how the words are stamped in there. Some may have issues with the off centre wording, but I love it.

Broken clasp, real pity. Thinking of how to replace it.

Lovely chequered sides.

And in all their glory

No worries, just like to share the love.

I got the Verdi because I've been infatuated with the PAV91. I've been thinking of picking up the Mario Paci PAV91 strap but saw the Verdi and considering how great the leather was from Gunny, I went for it. Not disappointed at all. Love the look and think it'll go well with anything.

I like Matt's Pre-V boxes too, especially how close they look to the gens. However, that can only hold one watch, and as you can see, I need a home for my collection

I am at a loss for words. The box, watches and straps are incomparable.

That box is fabulous. Fabulous. He is a true artisan.

And a new Gunny fan myself, I am drooling over the straps.

Well done and thank you for the post.

Interesting boxset. It looks like my friend's wall mounted display boxes.
