Its done with a laser engraver. I am using a 45 watt Epilog laser to do these.

Been a while since I have posted anything new. Here are a couple of straps that I sent out this week. One copies a signature pic used by Kevin(Adeeos) on watch forums. The 3646 is a vintage watch that he is doing reproductions of. The other strap is based off a nickname.

I would also like to know a source of thread in great colors as well.

Max, No offense taken. I understand where you are coming from. On a side note I have done and do engraving on guns as well. I wish I had the time to learn to tool leather half as well as what I see here. I travel alot for work so doing a watch strap is pretty easy for me. I can take a few things with me and stitch things when I am away from home. Then hit it with the laser for that one of a kind strap.

The power of the laser is not that important when doing leather. You can adjust the speed and power to control the burn. Yes it is possible to burn into the leather but I like to just burn the surface. The sub is a part of the history of Panerai watches. That strap was ordered to go on a Panerai the guy was getting. Yes the laser is like cheating to do your work. I in now way can compare what I do with it to what is done by other members here. I do not have enough time to attempt to do the things I see here.

Here are some watch straps and key fobs that I have been working on. Did some laser engraving on a few of the pieces.
