mikesherman Report post Posted May 11, 2023 Just thought I'd share a pic of a watchband I'm working on...I only took the one for now as the flower will be covered up once the watch is attached...now that I'm looking at this picture I see that I have a sloppy stitch...hmmmm....

jrdunn Report post Posted May 12, 2023 Nice work. For the less informed of us(maybe just me), what makes that an "aviator style"? Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikesherman Report post Posted May 12, 2023 Thanks all...Jim, I'm just as poorly informed as anyone else. That's the phrase I picked up while poking around looking for tips on watchband making...I think I heard it from Aaron at Makers in his video on making a watch band...

Jim I believe it's the construction out of one leather strap that's wider than the watch where it sits on top, with the two tabs for attaching the watch, that makes it aviator style. Has the advantage that the watch won't fall off if one of the spring bars comes loose. Like today's NATO straps... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
