Minute machine straps/bands

How does the leather smell?

I always smell leather before I buy it.

Not sure why.

But I like the way it smells.

Gasoline too.
 
So this is the mk2 think it may look better stitched what do you think

Have you done some sort of stress test, looks like the leather may stretch at the attachment points? I would wear it for a month or two and definitely get it wet now and then.
Awesome job looks good.⌚

thanks Deano that’s why it won’t be available till February it’s going through tests now (being worn by me with everyday use ) not so sure about the water test how many people with a leather strap watch go swimming a little rain maybe . But thanks for the input 👍
 
Ok so I have made a custom prototype leather watch strap . Buckle end obviously needs some adjustments/work but the principal works perfect I used a high end leather used on Bentley interiors. When done think I can sell them at around $75 let me know your thoughts please .View attachment 679113View attachment 679114View attachment 679115View attachment 679116View attachment 679117View attachment 679118
Spenc, that looks great, I have a red and silver MM as well. You know where to get extra screws for that band? Lost one a while back and would like to replace, Thanks, JJJ
