Your hands are unbelieveably steady! I hope I can gain this technique especially when cutting.

Very nice watch strap 👌 I've been researching how to make different style watch straps, the kind I'd like to make first is a bund style strap and not just a simple plain Jane strap but a nice one with good details, I'm meticulous about details. I'd also like to make a Breitling style leather strap, the kind that uses the deployment buckle and you see on Breitling Navitimers quite often but I haven't seen any videos on how to make one. The one in this video is similar except the deployment style straps have a more squared off end instead of a point. I think Breitling wants something like $400 to $500 for a new one, used ones in good condition go for a couple hundred usually but I don't think it would be that hard to make, just knowing the right kind of leather and how it's finished is probably the hardest part of it, the rest is probably easy peasy.

Very very nice! What stitching size do you use? Is it 3mm or something even smaller?

[@babuhandmade]

Hi! We use 0.42 ~ 0.45mm stitching :)

[@friscokid66]

@@babuhandmade Sorry, I didn’t mean the stitching itself. I meant the size of your stitching pricking iron… Are they 2.85mm or 3mm pricking iron punches for the stitches? Thanks

[@babuhandmade]

​@@friscokid66 Oh! Sorry. We use 3mm pricking iron punches, or 2.75mm when we make watch straps with small size.
