I'll preface this by once again reiterating the fact I am not a strap-miester...

Great straps from Red12. I ordered them Sunday night and here they are today. Great service and cool straps imho. Very rustic indeed! Super supple and way comfy.

Looks sweet on that watch. Was changing the strap easy?

Strap change was a breeze, Chick. Just put the screwdriver to the lug screws and out they come. I am not too proud to tell you I was wearing cheaters as the screws are pretty small.

 

There are actually two straps. Strap one is very supple and formless, feels very lived in. I think I favor it on the KS.

The second is a bit more defined with black sinew stitching and a more honey caramel color.  I might get more use out of that on my BS homage.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I am trying to cure my strap illiteracy!toon1.gif

Mark I like your straps.  Mark does Red12 have a website or e-mail address.

Both look great, but I like the first one more. It matches the vintage look of the watch. ThumbsUp02.gif

Thanks again 3T.

Tony- hard for me to answer re: build quality as I don't know all that much about what the norm would or should be. These are also pretty minimalist so I'm not sure how that applies. I will say they are solid and fit well and for me they were a less expensive choice that the other big name strap makers.
