Petewon Report post Posted May 10, 2017 I've just finished this and thought I'd post it here. Its a bit different to my usual vinage leather style strap. Thanks for looking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted May 10, 2017 That is incredibly well done! I like the contrast stitching. How did you get the holes to line up so well for the perforations? YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petewon Report post Posted May 10, 2017 Thanks. This leather marks quite easily so I just lightly marked a verticle line down the centre, I then used a set of dividers to mark the centre of each hole. I used the same process for each of the outside rows and keeping the same distance on the dividers ensures the holes are pretty much central. Its quite tricky and time consuming but looks good in the finsihed strap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sompla Report post Posted May 13, 2017 Wow! That contrast is fantastic, and the strap goes together with the watch very well! Super cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use an awl instead of pricking iron as I find using the iron so close to edge deforms the edge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted May 13, 2017 It's hard to class up an Omega but your strap does. That is really nice use of contrast and the band appears flawless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLHughes Report post Posted May 14, 2017 Man, I'm intimidated by big projects, but I can't even imagine getting that kind of detail and precision in such a small project. Beautiful work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief Filipino Report post Posted May 14, 2017 Beautiful! What did you use for the green "lining" on the inside? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
