    They are all amazing but #4 is incredibly cool.

    The Levi’s version looks great - maybe it could be used with a ‘denim’ dial Railmaster ;)

    5435A2D1-C4A5-4FE0-804D-1FED4ADCD818.jpeg I had to make a Levi strap for one of my watches... the joint on the long piece is holding well. I moved the old baseball strap (from a few years ago) on to a Seiko. The latest batch is in there waiting to be shipped!

    Wow, those are really nice (and unique!). The cross-stitching between the labels is an eyecatcher!

    Very nice, the saddle leather looks fantastic. I like the Levi strap too, would be great on a Hamilton.

    Strap arrived, thank you very much, and another donation made to wck.org
    Your photos are great but I must say this one looks even better in real life. Now I just have to pick the lucky watch that gets a strap change... I’ll update with another photo soon.
    Thanks again for your generosity, I and wcf appreciate it greatly!

    Hey Steve,

    Pics just in from my son-in-law, and donation made to a large, hometown cancer institution. Thanks once again for a truly generous and inspiring effort.

    Your original photo:

    I don’t think I ever shared pics with the strap on a watch, it found a good mate I think. Wanted a good American or Japanese chrono for the baseball glove strap, while the Swiss make great watches they are not renowned for their baseball prowess. ;)

    Holy pony express, Batman!
    Look who showed up in my mailbox today.
    5EC97234-3632-4724-A728-EAD369A54A8C.jpeg
    Postmarked June 10, arrival September 18 .... is that 100 days or only 99?
    I know there is another thread covering our postal woes but wow, a first for me. At the end, better late than never, I’m glad the craftsmanship wasn’t lost in the mail!

    Hi all, I’m posting here today to get some help. I’ve enjoyed banter by PM with @Duracuir1, but haven’t heard back from him in a bit, and he has been uncharacteristically absent from the forum since early September.

    Did any recipients of his straps happen to note his address where I could send a letter to check in on him? (Send by PM only please) I have relatives that live in his town and could drop off a care package. Maybe he’s just busy with work, and I’ll have just succeeded to embarrass both of us with this post, but these are unusual days so I wanted to check in.

    thanks in advance for any help :thumbsup:
