I am currently doing some R&D on in house straps for my Vintage Series watches. They will have matching numbers to go along with the watch so it is all one package. I'll be using vintage leather so it will look of age.

Here are some pictures of a practice run, this is using new leather not vintage stock. Sorry for the blurry pictures.... Still need to work out some kinks but I feel they are looking good so far...



Tomorrow I will try different stitching options, this was just a fast and dirty hand stitch to see how it comes together.


Here you can see some work still needs to be don on the text alignment.


I redid the stitching, and now it looks much better, but I will still do some refinements.
