    I'm visiting Seoul, and went in to look at the watches in Nostime -- they build custom straps, including this for my fixed-lug '56 recase.

    Certainly a more secure solution than the usual flimsy clips you find on open ended straps. The permanence of it would drive me crazy though!

    Looks good.

    Did they offer you the option of a single tang hole and fixed keeper?

    I didn't ask specifically -- my wrists tend to swell and shrink as I move between the tropics and more temperate climates -- but my impression was that they were pretty flexible. Not sure if they cut it out of fresh leather tho...
