[wwarrior]

what shops do you all recommend for straps? feel like getting a leather strap

 

[Azrielsc]

Ah. Okok. Pls get back to me if you think the Buttero leather has a weird smell or I am weird. Haha

Reporting in...

Nope, not a weird smell, just a nice leather smell.

Here's a quick shot after collecting it this morning.

Now waiting for the Radiomir to arrive! Sian...

PS: "AP" leather is actually the strapmaker's initials, not Audemars Piguet!

Quite a coincidence that Aaron's (Combat Straps) initials are also AP.

Here's sharing a couple of shots of my toad strap that I got him to do up.

Flying over from Canada now.

[kazuki666]

Ask you all. If I am buying old refurbished models like skx007 or 009 in ebay, are there any details I should take note of? Prices should range around how much??

 

[sharkapl]

while everyone busy buying for themselves, dont forget buy for your gf/wife too

seiko 5 SRP371K

 

[Henabi]

Lolx... qas about to say maserati too

 

[gurgkle]

Wow! The blue is pretty!!!

Thanks! Love the blue myself, thought this will be something different from the usual brown leather/colourful NATOs that I have. Can't wait to have it strapped on.

Hmm, will personally advice against buying 'old refurbished' SKX007/009. Any particular reasons for doing so since these two models are still in production?

They are available at many places, including K2. For a general price gauge, you can check SKX007

Haha smells a little different from my other leather product like my wallet. Haha. Oh. It's Anthony Pang. Lol. He got embossing tool sia! Haha you punching your own hole? I get him to punch 3 hole for the look. Using the middle one only but I feel it's too loose and I went ahead to use the 1st hole. The hole bigger easier to hook with the buckle. My other strap hole very small, darn hard to hook. The leather is really comfy even thought it's so thick. I see myself ordering from him again! He's really a quiet and reserved guy who doesn't talk much. Waiting to hoot the green strap you have.

Damn bro! Maserati! Should have met you! Hahaha. Take a ride! Lololol

Congrats on the toad strap! Have exactly the same colour, just different stitching. Bought a canary yellow one too.

Ordered a 512. I don't get my Pams in Singapore.

Yup, that's his name. I got my hole puncher and have punched a few of my straps already. Easy and only I can wear those straps. Haha!

I have also got him to emboss my wife's strap before too.
