Hmm, whisky is half price already it seems...

[Frodo]

I pondered this idea for a few days, then came up with an idea

I took a piece of copper pipe and beat it flat,  then annealed it 

 

Then I beat it into the shape i wanted

then i drilled a couple of holes,  wrapped it in leather

added a strap to hold the watch...I have to stop here. I need a longer snap

here is the finished watch band less the longer snap

So, you need a snap with a longer post that will pass through thicker stock?

What are you using now? Are they Line 24 snaps?

Tandy Line 24 snaps have a 5/16" post. Is that enough? https://www.tandyleather.com/en/search/?sSearch=line 24 snaps
