Hi I have three vintage Dynamic models and am aspiring to hand-make a couple straps in my modest workshop. I realize I can buy after market straps, but am taking it up as a personal challenge / hobby to keep me busy.
My old bands are too beat up to rely on tracing them. Does anyone have access to an accurate scaled template (printable PDF) to share or direct me to? Much obliged.

So far only ladies size.
It is fairly easy to set up in lightburn. There is a metal insert that is in the back to provide some support at the stress points. I find that tuna can steel works pretty good for that.

It is really two circles at the back. The taper is done by drawing the strap, then using the curve path edit tool to bend a line from the outer cirle tangent to the buckle points. This then gets mirrored.

here is a screenshot. note that one side gets folded over for the buckle. Since this is leather I did not put the holes in it.

Photos and reference numbers would help.
