Anybody heard of this Thai strap maker? well priced and the pictures look pretty nice. i am thinking about jumping in for one given a give or take 30 dollar price tag on auction items. however, before i pull the trigger, do any of your fellow paneristi's have any experience with this strapmaker? much appreciated.

I'm not too big on eBay and I'd gather that most here aren't either. Good luck though and post some pics!

Hi, quentin_287:
I knew what straps you were talking about, they do look very nice from the pictures, actually I bought one (item 170425572574) from them last week and still eagerly waiting for it (will take 14 - 21 days to get US).

quentin_287 · 12 January 2010, 01:47 AM

thx zlin08033. once you get it, let me (us) know if you like the strap, workmanship, quality vs. price, etc. i agree, the pictures look very nice.

zlin08033 · 16 January 2010, 02:37 PM

quentin_287: It just came today, and I'm very pleased, it is very very nice, quality and workmanship is top class, exactly like those pictures on eBay, and price is very good, I paid $42, which I think is un-beatable. I have couple straps cost almost 4 times more, I might like this more

i have bought from him twice- great straps!!

Pics please guys?

zlin08033 · 17 January 2010, 12:33 AM

I can't take better picture than his original pictures - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170425572574.
I think these are actual item picture, since the strap I just received is exactly like those on the pictures.

quentin_287: here is a pic I took with my iPhone.

toph · 18 January 2010, 11:40 AM

yeah no prob- this is just of one of them

Just returned from Thailand a couple of weeks ago I went to see the guy at his house. The ammount of straps he has is amazing he showed us the leather that he buys to make the straps (some of the leather sachels are stamped well over a hundred years old)

Zed and I bought a few straps from him and would recommend him to anyone considering buying a new strap.

Excellent price, excellent quality great guy.

quentin_287 · 21 January 2010, 11:38 PM

ParisDakarBmw · 21 January 2010, 11:47 PM

zlin08033 · 22 January 2010, 02:01 AM

antique_leatherstraps is super nice and super comfortable.

mikelprz · 28 January 2010, 05:40 PM

Thailand has some great craft makers. The pics look very similar to some of the high quality leather crafts I've seen during my 2 years in Thailand. I have several leather handcrafts from there. Unfortunately, no watch straps. I should be back in Bangkok in a few months, I will hit my usual shops and look for some.

Changmaisausage · 28 January 2010, 09:49 PM

Philip is not Thai he lives there with his wife (girlfriend)

He did tell me that he is in Bangkok on a monthly basis. I need to take some pictures of the straps that I bought from him.
