Please post pics of your sub on a leather or gator strap

Hello all

Please post pics of your sub on a leather or gator strap with details on the craftsman.

My GFs daily watch is a 14060 on nato, yes she's a keeper! Recently she expressed interest in trying out a leather or gator strap. I've had good a good experience with Micah and I know there is a wealth of ideas in the Panerai sub forum but most of the makers listed there only show Pam photos on their websites.

Your ideas are much appreciated

Saas

Hadley Roma, "oil tan leather brown" or something like that. $20

I have it in black also, I like them both but prefer brown.

plenty of subs worn on leather, they were actually often original option in south america on leathers in some places...at end of day over time leathers going to knacker...but its $100 ...be bored of the colour and moved onto another long before that happens.

yes, thats an original NOS ( well almost :) ) long5 red triangle from 59....

and NO...its not available :)

Hey it took a little while to find on ebay a real one they usually run around a 100 for a real one. Watch out for the fakes.
