Hi not sure if anyone can help me, bought this strap online and notice I need to punch more holes on it. Don't really feel like visiting normal watch shops as the holes they punch is really small.

Is there any DIY leather experts who has the right tools for the hole punching of this size?

got any for blackberry :D

This design is good for touch screen phone actually. I haven't tried it on BB yet, because may have difficulties pressing those small buttons.
However, I think I can try out and see, must think how to work on the slide out screen.

scasi, i received the bracelets le. Thanks :)

U know what, initially i tot the veg tan was masking tape to hold down the strap:s13:
Coz i was driving when i unseal your parcel, so couldnt tell clearly....


anyway, i feel its a very "evil" idea to have the veg tan piece on the black leather. I LOVE IT!:s12:

Btw just curious. Were you earlier mentioning that my gf piece will be slimmer or shorter? Coz i see left see right also cant tell any diff... :p
And also, would u recommend i mink oil le then we wear, or i should wear few mths le then mink oil???

thanks once again. I am sure this wont be the last deal with u :D

I believe this must have been asked several times before, but probably i missed it.

about maintaining your leather goods like belt.
Do you:

1) never mink at all
2) wear several months le, then mink oil it
3) mink oil le, then wear

Also, if you do mink oil, does suntan and no suntan how much difference is it???

Ok, 15oz is a gd and bad thing. gd of coz the feel is THERE. Bad is actually also for the same reason, VERY THICK sia :s22:

If u notice, he actually "shaved" off some amt of thickness at the initial part near the buckle. Was told that if its the original thickness, the belt will protrude out.
Its abt 5mm thick.

I think i will wear it without mink oil and see how 1st. :)
