The Dive Watch Connection

Just in yesterday from a fellow DWC'er........I LOOOOOOOOOVE this watch. Thanks again James!! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/29/299bb12a05999985b826ec6e84621139.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/30/a2f960a73ecfe1512ad50a81b9793050.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/30/12b...

The clown combo

I used a dremmel with a needle attachment. Have to start slow to avoid burning the strap/leather. Then finish with a jewellers file

Holy shit and I thought I had a problem with the 123 straps I have. He has a killer collection.

There are a few I want in that group.

LoL. Good one.

I was expecting a giant purple penis head. Are you getting soft on me?

Congrats on hitting the next level!

That is so wrong man lol

You Guys kill me lol.

It looks like I've cut off the circulation in my wrist but it's not. It's too loose and the watch flops around if I lossen one hole.

Will the leather not fold tight? I use the full 12" nylon NATOs and I double it back and pull the strap tight though the loop closest to the watch case and it leaves a nice clean tight fold, almost no loop. I'd take a picture, but I'm not wearing a NATO today. Actually I just had a breakthough...LO...

LOL. Yeah after seeing the pics I would have to agree. Need to tuck it a bit more to get the 'full Pat'

No that I just tie that to my ankle and it stays out of the way most of the day.....unless a boner strikes.

Playing with my leather NATO from Gunny and was wondering what to do and what looks best with the excess tail Tuck it (loop it down) and expose the top side like pic 1 http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/22/549795d33e5aed20e258397ec9ea9e00.jpg Flip it (loop it up) and expose the underside like p...

Keep at it. Practice makes perfect.

I suggest using a bit thicker thread for that style stitch.

The Omega 'heirloom' for my little guy

Nice job. I'm gonna be giving it a go soon as well. Just need to get my ass over to Tandy's to buy the tools for the job.

If anything, you can justify the burn marks as being "rugged". That's always made me feel better about my strap fuck ups

LoL so the burnish looks shit your saying ? I can remove it if you think it'll look better without

Thanks guys. Took your advice and used some paper. Here are the results. I just eye balled it. Next time I will will take my time and mark exact measurements. I also used a soldering pen and burnished the holes. Whatchya think? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/15/8969650d675a39cd8cce4a4d768bc...

I'm looking to punch a set of small rally holes in a strap I just rec'd because it needs a bit of character and I want to go with this style. Can any one of the resident strap experts here tell me the size holes these are on this strap pictured below? I like this design and think it is the right cho...

Looks real nice. I def dig that colour.
