Hello everyone, this is my first post.

I started making watch straps last week, here are pics of #7.

I need to finish the holes a bit today:

Very cool! I've been thinking about making a watch strap. Was it difficult working on something that size? What ounce leather did you use?

Thanks, Chris! I've never worked with leather before last week, so bear with me: I'm not up on terminology, sizes/weights, etc.

I think the alligator grain is ~2oz?

The strap is 24mm at the lug end and tapers to 22mm at the buckle, so it isn't as small as one might think.

I don't have anything to compare to, so can't say that it was more or less difficult than anything else!

:rolleyes:

Thanks, Luke! The buckle came from an online watchband store....dunno if I can state the name...PM?
