Custom Orders

Can your straps be customized?
Yes, I can customize all my straps :

• Different size than the sizes in the dropdown menus.
• Custom hole spacing in case you do not like the standard one.
• Thickness can be customized, I can make the straps thicker or thinner on request.
• If you do not like the triple folding on the short part of the strap I can make the strap.
  OEM style fold with the same thickness on both parts of the strap and a closed buckle loop.
• Different colour of stitching. You can choose from threads in the picture below. I can use any of these threads on any of my straps.
• On some of my straps you can also choose optional inlay leather colour

Can you make straps for fixed lug watches?

Yes, I can make any strap from my range as an open ended strap for watches with
fixed lugs. On this type of strap there are hidden rivets (Chicago screws) which are only visible from the underside of the strap.

What is the difference between triple fold and OEM fold ?

Straps constructed with the historic triple fold technique have the short part of the
strap thicker due to the leather being folded in three layers. Triple folded straps also
have the buckle and the fixed keeper sitting together in one loop.

OEM fold is a more modern type of strap construction which makes both parts of the strap same thickness, also the fixed keeper and the buckle are placed in separate loops.

What type of buckles do you offer?

I have two types of buckles, screw in buckles and GPF style sew in buckles.

The screw in buckles are available in 22, 24 and 26mm in brushed stainless steel finish.

The sew in GPF style buckles are my own make, handmade from 3mm thick stainless steel. These are available in sizes 22, 24, 26, 27, 28mm in brushed stainless steel and in two versions, flat and knife edge.

I also have GPF style sew in belt buckles made from 5mm thick stainless steel , available in 38mm brushed stainless.

Hole size and spacing

What size are the holes on your straps ?

You can choose from 4 types of hole spacing :

5 round holes with 3mm diameter and 10mm hole spacing (centre to centre). This spacing is best suited for the sewn in buckles, however the screw in buckle can be used with this spacing too if you prefer round holes.

7 oblong holes 5x2mm and 7mm hole spacing( centre to centre). This spacing is best suited for the screw in buckles.

7 round holes with 2mm diameter and 7mm hole spacing ( centre to centre) – suitable for GPF style buckles

5 round holes with 2mm diameter and 10mm hole spacing ( centre to centre)- suitable for GPF style buckles

Watch strap sizing

How to Measure Your Wrist for Watch Strap Sizing

To measure your wrist for a watch strap, use a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper. Wrap it comfortably around your wrist where you normally wear your watch, making sure it is snug but not tight. Note the measurement in millimetres or inches.

If you don’t have a measuring tape, mark the paper where it overlaps, then measure it with a ruler. This wrist size helps determine the correct strap length for a comfortable fit.
