    @Mtek How would that look on your MM300?

    Not sure, MM has 20mm lugs and the PO 21. I don’t think I’d do this on the MM anyway. It is my fav watch I have, even over this PO, I just prefer that on a bracelet as it’s so tall.

    That is a big price, but it is a great looking strap. Pricing is similar to ABP and Camille Fournet, both also custom-ish and both also from the Euro zone.

    I’m ordering my next one, a Swiss ammo. I chose this pouch, a 1955, he has several from diff makers and different decades with varying degrees of wear. I went by the color and stampings I liked best. No curved lug this time as I’d like it to fit a few different watch heads.

    My 1952 (I thought it was 55 in the above pics but it’s a 52) Swiss ammo is finally done. I chose padded at lugs with this one but not curved. I think I’ll put it on my Hanhart or an incoming Tudor GMT.

    Darn right. And this double seam looks very much like stuff ABP does.... Will look good indeed with the Tintin.

    Nice straps. As they have mentioned earlier, for these prices you are in ABP territory and I would dare to say that maybe a little bit above the prices of the French strap maker. I recall paying around 180 € for this mustard strap for my Longines Czech:

    Regardless, your strap looks terrific and the finishing looks to be superb as well.

    @jmazpiazu ABP are great straps, one of the best in my option and yours looks great. They have a great selection of hides like D9. However, if you want a custom integrated fit for a perticular case, D9 is the only choice I’ve found. He also offers more custom choices, it’s a one on one discussion via emails. I’m not saying there is more value, because there are nice custom strap makers selling for under 100 usd, but he is the best I’ve seen for true custom.

    @Mtek, I agree. ABP have impeccable finishing and a great selection of leathers. This is another strap done by them for my Radiomir.

    But the French company is somewhat more of a traditional strap maker. For the work involved in your particular strap, I think you went with the right artisan. Enjoy it!
