Handmade Alligator Watch Strap for a Patek Philippe & a Shell Cordovan Leather Strap for a Datejust!

On this episode Michael showcases building two handmade watch straps for a repeat customer. Apologizes for saying his name S.D. when it is actually S.C… As stated in this video, Michael is severely DYSLEXIC! One is a Whiskey Tan Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan Leather strap for a Rolex Datejust, and the other is a Royal ‘Midnight’ Blue Genuine Alligator strap with Navy Blue Horween Shell Cordovan Leather linings for a Patek Philippe 3205G-013. Michael included a beautiful aftermarket vintage Rolex Pin Buckle for the Whiskey Tan strap too. Sorry for saying your name wrong Doc!

[@Crackers2549]

Going to watch this one again too Mike and I wouldn't think about going to the end...! Love the fact that you film your work and then you describe the action later as you do.... That is what I really enjoy, your narration as to what is taking place on your bench....! Love it.... Greg in IN

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks Greg! MK

[@RandomPersonAJ]

Hello Michael. Your videos and narrations are always such a treat, I always look forward to your next video. You make beautiful watch straps and I mean to place an order soon. Have a great week!

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks A J! Hope you have a great week too… MK

13:15 Sometimes, when I think about watch straps, I think about the word “Shinki Hikaku” said in your John Wayne voice. Always makes me chuckle because I never heard of that fun word before you and you have such a cool voice and delivery. Perfect combination. Michael, I always enjoy your videos and was glad to see a new one! You’re someone who deserves all the followers out there, but I know from watching others, there’s always prices to pay (stress, hassles, etc.) the more followers you have. So, I get your laid back approach to your channel. Thank you for sharing more about yourself and personal faith. I could tell you had good perspectives on things and it’s why I was already a subscriber. Plus, your videos are relaxing to watch and always relate nicely to the overall world of great timepieces! By the way, I wish that professor would had given you that “A”. 😁👍🏻 Shinki Hikaku!

[@StrapaWatch]

That’s so nice of you to say. Thank you very much! MK

[@Andrej-Orehov]

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks! MK

[@CalTheCollector]

Absolutely fantastic as allways MK! hope you and your family are doing well!!

[@StrapaWatch]

Yes, thank you. Everybody’s well and good. Mk

[@btmontres1423]

Nice Michael, hope to do business with you one day. When I first saw these specific straps on you tube I thought that looks a lot like something from Strap a Watch; duh. Great craftsmanship for sure.

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks! MK

[@Weedandwatches]

I have got to get a strap for my GS rikka Straps with Soul!!!

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks so much! MK

[@paulmartinez9908]

I love this

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks Paul! MK

Michael, it is not horse hide. Cordovan is considered a membrane that is under the exterior back portion of the hide, which gives the horse the ability to twitch and shew off the bees/flies that are bothering him in the butt area. I don’t want to be a jerk, but just wanted to explain the exact purpose of the material/membrane.

[@StrapaWatch]

Oh wow… Thanks for sharing that with me. I really didn’t know about it being considered a membrane. MK

[@LCMNUNES1962]

PERFEITA ELEGÂNCIA ÓTIMO TRABALHO 👍👍 🇧🇷

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks again! MK

[@sc1]

The Alligator strap is superior quality, it actually feels on par with my original strap from Patek (a little bit thinner and more pliable). The craftsmanship is flawless. Elegant dressed-up appearance. Great to see how it was all put together. Thank you. The shell cordovan strap looks to be extremely durable and should break in well over time. The particular shade is brown is beautiful and more versatile than I expected. I just switched it to my GMT Master II 16710 BLRO on my lasted video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKOzaJduf998aNU

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks Doc! I’m so glad you like and enjoy the straps on your beautiful watches. With proper care they will last years and years to come. MK

[@SOCerberus94]

Nice

[@michaelknappleather9404]

Thanks! MK

[@markbyrum4743]

Michael: Great strap and vid, as usual. Thanks for that testimony about Bible College and the pride story. Good stuff! Keep at it. Mark

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks Mark! MK

[@Adityakumar-px8xd]

It's real crocodile skin?

[@StrapaWatch]

It’s real North American Alligator skin… MK

[@williamwoody7607]

Excellent job- how thick was the Patek? How thick was the bolster?

[@StrapaWatch]

I honestly don’t remember… Merry Christmas! MK
