Thank you. I stopped wearing a watch but this was interesting to see what I can do with my exotic leathers 😊. I have some ostrich and pirarucu. I don't do snake or reptiles. I used to have a snake and I am fond of reptiles so it would be a bit weird for me. I thank you for the inspiration 😊.

Nice I had 2 black folded beaver tail ones made by a special store in Geneva for 2 1960s vintage Omega Seamaster300s. The measurement taking at the store, the skin selection, and the weeks to make the strap made the experience very special, exceptional craftsmanship. The result is so good that I stare at the straps as much as I look at the watches ...

It's a nice experience to have something custom made for you, shame we don't have more of it. Beaver tail is an interesting material as well, you don't see it very often.

Hi, Thanks for sharing! You have a nice vintage watch! Raketa Copernicus, the "Day" version with a nice silver-tone dial. The Soviet Raketa Copernicus is a really cool watch to have. I have all the versions of this watch model: ''Day'' and ''Night'' (black case and black dial). Cheers from Russia!

Nice work!! Hopefully one day I'll use some of that Badalassi Carlo leather some snake or even crocodile. But for now i'm using cheaper veg tan leathers. I can only imagine how the Butero feels. I just started making straps like 6 months ago (for myself) so I still have much to learn first. Cheers from Canada.

it's a lot of labor for a product almost nobody will buy at their high asking price. a good watch strap doesn't need to cost over a hundred dollars, these people are insane. not all products can be priced based on time and labor involved, and this is one of them. most people wouldn't pay half of the asking price for these straps.

I wish I had found this great video sooner as I have just made two folded straps from pig skin on the outside and cow on the inside. I finished them yesterday and found your video today. I didn't do too bad but the second strap I made was only 'cause the first wasn't perfect. I think there should be more of these types of straps out there as they really show off the skin at it's best unlike cut and painted edges. Have you tried pig skin for your vintage straps? I think they look cool and authentic.

Thank you for the nice video. I wondered about making a leather strap myself as I've got involved into making knife sheaths (I have a knife-making hobby), but that looks far too meticulous. By the way, that synthetic material that you use looks very similar to fiber liners or spacers used in making knife handles. They are of different colors and thicknesses and are indeed very strong as well as affordable (the thinner the cheaper) as well as available at e-bay and many knife-making stores.
@Wasting-Time-oc7jl
@Wasting-Time-oc7jl 24 күн бұрын
You are most welcome. Is your knife-making just a hobby, or do you sell knives? I'm in the market for a new skiving knife, and I prefer to buy from independent makers. The reinforcing material used in leather is the exact opposite; the thinner it gets, the more expensive it gets. Thanks for the kind words.

I’ve ordered hand made exotic straps from artisans in Germany and Thailand into the US without trouble. The strap was marked ‘leather’ for customs. It is a leather, after all. The value of even a strap like this one wasn’t sufficient to invoke import duty. Customs never opened it. Perhaps I’ve been lucky. In future maybe I’ll have them shipped to a British cousin then shipped here as a gift. I know that shops in Japan will remove even the original strap of a vintage watch before shipping, which seems unnecessary. Surely Patek et al have these certificates.

There's a lot of stuff crossing borders, so you have to be a bit unlucky to get it flagged. However, there are plenty of horror stories of very fine vintage watches being destroyed by customs for having exotic straps, so if I had one coming I would prefer the strap sent separately.
