 Well, here's one of my latest arrivals: a leather strap from Gunnystraps. It's called the LE CUIR NOIR CRAQUE strapee. Roughly 5mm thick and 135mm x 85mm x 22mm, this supple, vintage-looking strap went straight to my Darth Tuna. It's on the gray and distressed side and I thought this would work out well with the totally black look of the Prospex 1000m.





This is a design I worked out with Peter of Gunnystraps and I liked the small intermediate box stitching, as shown below.







and the same style of stitching on the tailend side



The strap is very well-made and is in a very fine finish. I might order one more but this time with big, fat monster stitches.





When I received my Darthtuna some time back, it seemed so ordinary and plain with its black stealth look and black rubber strap. Looked kinda cheap and very plain. To me, I thought the watch deserved a little bit more....after all I'm not a diver at all and this watch would serve me almost daily. I searched far and wide and ended up going to Paneristi suppliers. Thus the transaction with Peter, another Paneristi. Peter also added the PVD buckle at my request for an all-in, coupled deal. Great guy to deal with.

Took a month to get it done because of the volume of orders at Peter's side but the wait was worth it.

Hope you like it.yahoo.gif
