Making my most "finicky" watch strap (Build photos)

[Danne]

I thought I share a few photos from the build of a strap i'm working on. (Keep in mind that the white balance is "everywhere" because I took those photos under incorrect light, and just did a quick adjustment in PS. The outer part is really dark brown. Also, I can't decide between dark brown or orange thread. I think the edges will be dark brown though. 

Everything is hand cut.

I second the orange thread. Man you have the straps nailed! Thanks for sharing.

Looks like nice work. But I didn't know anybody wore wrist watches any more. I don't think I've seen one in 3-4 years. Most folks just use their phone for a watch.

I've carried a pocket watch for decades, because I can kill a wrist watch in less than a day. Construction is really hard on things.

Thank you, hard to decide. it would give it such a different style with brown or orange thread.

Thank you, I think it's more used as a jewelry than a "tool" these days. Even though I actually find it a lot easier to just have a quick glance at my watch, instead of picking up my phone.
