Handstitched Report post Posted October 17, 2022 G'Day, I don't always do watch strap repairs, but this one turned out quite well. The client was quite happy too . The leather for the main strap, x2 layers of 1.2mm veg tan , dyed , glued & stitched. The other straps x 1 layer of 1.2 mm VT , thinned out a bit bit to feed past the pins on the watch . Machine : Pfaff 60, leather needle , thread: Gutermann upholstery . It has a bit more ' body' to it than the regular industrial thread I use. The only thing was that I have big hands, and the buckles are small ...= fiddly = sore hands , lol HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastorBob Report post Posted October 18, 2022 Great job on that! lots of buckles for sure. I love wearing watches, but my day job is in Food manufacturing and we can't wear rings, watches, or necklaces... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bland Report post Posted October 20, 2022 I'll go with repair. Looks like some of the original parts may have been used (buckles). Looks great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
