Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
Yes, I know that there's the SOYNW thread - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17
But thought we should have a place to show off new straps and bracelets.
And I'll start it with a blue stingray strap I ordered over the holidays from a Vietnamese strapmaker, Trinh Le Mai
You can reach her via Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/trinhlemai.7strap
I picked this up $38.50 during a Black Friday sale, and I think it turned out quite nicely.
Going to try it on the Fuyugeshiki first and see how it goes.

Almost missed this nice message from Trinh
And does look pretty sharp on the Seiko, if I say so myself.

Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
Looks great! Stingray straps are underappreciated in my opinion, bit stiff but killer looks. Perhaps too fancy for many.TheJohnP wrote:TheJohnP wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 3:41 pm Yes, I know that there's the SOYNW thread - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17

My new Marathon rubber strap with Citizen NY0040. I am quite satisfied with the combo.
Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
Got a single pass strap from Luff Watch Straps for my gilt turtle. I like how it matches but the strap's a little thin for the watch head (a bit like perlon) and the eyelets are already starting to see wear after only a couple of uses.

Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
These are cheapest @ CNS (cheapestnatostraps) but CNS versions have slightly inferior hardware as they have a thinner tongue/prong and the hardware is almost straight (lacks curvature). Something to consider next time in case you wanted another.gormless wrote: ↑Sat Mar 07, 2020 8:12 am Got a single pass strap from Luff Watch Straps for my gilt turtle.

I can confirm that these are also identical to the ones from aliexpress.
Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
Thanks! I think that might be my default place to go going forward. I just wanted to try the style anyway.Nsjong wrote:These are cheapest @ CNS (cheapestnatostraps) but CNS versions have slightly inferior hardware as they have a thinner tongue/prong and the hardware is almost straight (lacks curvature).

I think their "sharktooth" weave is also supposed to be softer than the standard tudor-style weave.gormless wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 12:55 amThanks!

Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
I had a very similar nato, but from Aliexpress. Do you find the strap a bit too short? The material and the hardware of mine are okay, but it's short. After adjusted to max, its only barely acceptable. I have a normal wrist size.gormless wrote: ↑Sat Mar 07, 2020 8:12 am Got a single pass strap from Luff Watch Straps for my gilt turtle.

Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
I have a 7" wrist and you're right, it barely fits me ok. I have only made a tiny adjustment at the buckle for the end to be at the second keeper.VCheng wrote:I had a very similar nato, but from Aliexpress. Do you find the strap a bit too short?

Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
Some Martu Leather straps came in recently that I ordered for my Citizen Fugu divers.
Really soft quality leather at a great price!

Looks great.
Eventually I'll try her out again.

Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
This is what Fugu Fever looks like. I'm afraid you've got a bad case of it..... These look better than I would have thought on leather. I really like the green one. I come very close to buying it but then talk myself out of it about twice a month on average.norsairius wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 8:17 pm Some Martu Leather straps came in recently that I ordered for my Citizen Fugu divers.

Re: Show Off Your New Strap/Bracelet
Hi All,
this week received these 2 straps in the photo below from CNS/Cheapest Nato Straps/CheapestNatoStraps
I asked them that according to their production/quality standard, in case of a Adjustable Single Pass Strap Barley (upper) how many holes must be made, and how far from the end of strap in mm the first and last hole must me made.
They responded quickly but never answered my question ...

"New" second hand Borealis vulcanised rubber strap on my SBDC053. I love the bracelet but I like this look and feel too in our warm tropics.
