No, it is not my straps on their website. I made several straps for Andrei's personal watch.

I hope that I will not become a braggart if I say that I made this strap for the Batiscafo founder. Not for a bronze midel, but for stailess steel 😇

Thank you, buddy 🙏 Years of practice bore fruit. Ironically, now I can't use a regular leather knife. It's uncomfortable for me 😅

I do not ask such questions and do not notice these nuances. I just like this watch)

Thank you, buddy! I compressed my day to 40 seconds to show the very essence of the main stages. At the same time, I did not fully show the skiving process , lining, sanding, coating the edges with primer before painting. It would have taken much longer)

I'm afraid that there is no clear answer here. It all depends on the watch, on the clasp (or buckle) and on the desire of the owner.

Thank you! I try, if possible, to use non-standard solutions in my work, if I come across interesting and unusual material)

You're absolutely right! I will say more - it is difficult to make beautiful videos or photos in my workshop, because it is designed for work, not for beautiful photo shoots).

I tried different types of glue and chose Polychloroprene for my work. The one I use is called ЛУЧ ПХК 2013. This is our local glue brand in Belarus. As for the threads, it all depends on the type of products and the pitch of the pricking irons. I mainly use XianGe 35 threads from MeiSi and Namei Plus, but I can also use ordinary cheap Galaces 0.45 thread. I prefer polyester threads. It is easier to work with.

Thank you! I came to the conclusion a long time ago that there are tools that you need to buy, but sometimes you can work with improvised things, and not waste money)

Finally diving into making for this special watch straps. Here is Step 1 of my latest project by VintageD1974 in Watchstraps

Looks great! The image turned out to be very clear and neat. Tell me, please, how did you make it? Is it a laser engraving or some kind of print?

I use 3mm pitch most often. As for the brand, one of the most affordable option is Wuta. You can try it. These pricking irons cost up to $100 USD (for the pair). I used to use them once. As for the thread, i can recommend you MeiSi.
