Post a picture of the style you want (namecard holder), and I'll figure out something.

Something like this in terms of style, can be had for around $60 shipped depending on the quantity. If we can make an order for at least 5 pieces then it could be $5 - $10 cheaper

As for the strap, i need the exact measurements. The lengths, the lug and buckle sizes and the distance between the lug and the first hole as well as the diameter of the holes if possible.

I'm interested in an APROO strap either hornback or in Prada saffiano. It would be good to look at some pics to help me make up my mind.



I was promised to get the saffiano straps by the end of the week, will post pics asap

I am looking for a strap for my ROO Silver themes.. the Prada looks promising... will wait for the pics... what color are you planning to stitch it with? Black strap with white/red stitch will look good on the silver themes...

That's great!

Is the honey color saffiano sort of brownish? I'm also interested in a brown and black saffiano for my Casablancas. Do you think the shape of the straps in the pics below are doable?

I'm sure those straps have inserts, be it plastic or metallic, to make that shape for strap's lug ends. If you can provide the inserts, or your old/rep strap with the inserts it is defo doable.

As for the color of the honey saffiano, it is a bit paler i think, but i'll check

Unfortunately I don't have inserts to supply. The watches came with SS bracelets. I would purchase a rep strap so your maker could reproduce the inserts but since the rep straps are usually of such low quality I'm not sure if they will have inserts or be worth the expense. If I was to provide pictures or drawings with measurements would the maker be able to produce the necessary inserts or do you think that is too risky to even attempt?

It is risky. Without the inserts or watch in hand it will be very easy to mess something up, but there's nothing impossible. Send me the pictures with measurements (smp1over at gmail dot com) and i will have a chat with him about it.

Have just visited the maker, there is a small delay, so the straps will be ready for monday. I have also seen some saffiano belts he made, pure class. I may end up ordering one for me soon.

nice result :)

Thanks Edge.

The price for Diver or ROOs remains the same $159 paypaled including the shipping to conus or europe. For the rest of the world it will be $15 to $20 more expensive.

If we can gather at least 10 pieces for this run then we can drive down the price by $10.
