The Watch Thread - Part 12

[TeenTitan01]

so recently i've started to learn some leather crafting..and it seems like such watch straps aren't that so hard to produce afterall

now, question...see that part circled in red? those stitching, combined with those holes or alphabet stamping..

what are some strap's design u have in mind for the longest of time, but couldn't find it off the shelves?

how about stitching ur name on it? like instead of just a simple wrap around the edge of the strap, i can put a simple alphabet on the middle and stitch it up with some colorful threads?

or...?

Disclaimer: image above is not mine, i kop from cheapestnato

Disclaimer: no, horweens are too exp, i'm using simple leather for now

Disclaimer: my finishing ain't gonna be as nice as mine is handmade

Disclaimer: no, i'm not looking to sell them for profit at the moment, it's just a hobby...

bro indigo22, with increasing skill as you do more straps, it can well turn out to be a satisfying and profitable sideline for all you know!

i'm not a strap guy though, given our hot, humid, sucky climate. if not sure support!

Had a bad experience servicing my watch at top hour. Lol owner so dishonest, tried to sneakily replace my watch hand cos the original was broken during the repair.

slight irregularities from handmade straps are what makes them unique. machine made, uniformed perfection can be boring.

Hmm, did I imagine things or was the color of bezel different from watch case all along?

bezel has a distinctively red hue

Looked at my image archives and yes, the bezel was definitely lighter earlier on!
