Strapping it up
While waiting for my new DJ to arrive, I perused photos of member's watches on straps using Eugene's end pieces. I ordered a pair and they actually arrived before the DJ last week:
Yesterday afternoon, I was scheduled to make hospital visits but before heading out, I decided to give the end pieces a try. I dug around in my strap drawer and the only dressy 20mm strap I found was an old leather/alligator grain. After taping the lugs and carefully removing the bracelet, the end pieces and strap went on without a hitch: Now I need to find a nice quality strap worthy of the DJ. Any suggestions? Fr. John† |

If you like shell cordovan leather, Drew Watson at Europelli uses Horween and produces beautiful hand made straps that would be worthy of your DJ. He offers great options and is very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. www.europelli.net.

Agreed-looks really nice. I like the dial/bezel combo and I think it suits a strap well.
