Help with Strap decision
Which strapped watch in this photo grabs your eye the most? I am going to build my own straps starting tomorrow and I would appreciate popular interest in which strap look works for you folks :-)
 Thanks for helping me decide the direction to go for my first build

Great picture. Nice moody lighting and well composed. Now if we could see one with both watches and straps side by side and clearly visible it might help us make a decision.

i personally like the one on the left, but no offense, the buckle looks kind of tacky to me.

agreed re the over-sized 'weapon' buckle! I prefer the leather of the one on the right

I like the straps but I agree those PAM style buckles are too big.

Thank you for the criticism. I agree the v buckle shouldnt be on the straps I will make. I am going to use thumbnail buckles.
I think I just make a strap and show that here and see what you all think :-) Thanks for looking

I vote for a NATO, Isofrane or Di Modell rallye strap.

These are nice substantial buckles, heftier than standard thumbnail, and not as large as Pre V. I use them on all my PAM straps except for a couple of special ones from Micah.

I want to stick to a more traditional thumbnail for now. I have some here at home I can remove from factory made straps. |
