Wow, John! You've got your own little factory going! What's the trade name for the straps?

Thanks guys. I'm also currently working on a pilot strap for Al too.
I haven't yet started selling. These are prototypes really, going out into the wild for testing and feedback.
That said, I'm thinking Atomic Strap has a good ring to it. ;D

Thanks Mamas. So I can put you down as my first paying customer? Sure, if you make a black 22mm pilot strap, would certainly buy an atomic strap  |

I'm trying to source rivets for Al's pilot strap. I'll keep you posted.

Wow....you've really stepped up production. Those look nice! I'd be interested to see what the pilot straps turn out like. I might be interested in a 20/18mm one for the IWC. |

Looking good mate. Some of those light tan ones with look great with a few years of wear on them. Cool!

Looking good mate. Some of those light tan ones with look great with a few years of wear on them. Cool! The one I've made for myself has already darkened a shade or two. In fact, the unstitched tan is the same hide as the stitched ones... I assume that's the oils from my fingers that cause the change in shade. On a different note, I was at the Paneristi Montreal GTG this weekend and did a custom strap exchange with a fellow strap maker. He was kind enough to give me some strips of hide that are different colours and textures, so looking forward to making some different straps soon.  |
