Just arrived, punched the buckle holes, and mounted.

Taking the blue k2 sandwich dial to a level of superbness that only Gunny can. This is the Caitlin 6 leather strap and is absolutely delicious.

It's soft, flexible and conditioned like it's been worn for 10 years out the box. It's amaze balls !!

I was curious how to word it but I think you got it.

He just doesn't know how to stitch or make a strap thinner than 6mm.

I think you may need to order smaller straps. That buckle is up way too high.

I miscalculated on this one a bit. I normally prefer the short side longer to situate the buckle off centre on my wrist as it keeps the watch head centred on my wrist properly. I went thinner (4mm) on the strap thickness and thus caused the buckle to sit further than I intended.

Should have done 85mm instead of 90mm on the short side

It's a vintage distressed look which I asked for. I requested the intentional cuts also. I actually had him add extra 'unrefinement'.

He makes some extremely refined and very luxurious straps also. The Caitlin models aren't and are intended to look 'worn/aged'

What are you talking about? Sure he can. Look at his website/instagram. He can do anything. Thick, thin, luxury, etc

You know I've never been a fan. Every strap I've seen in person has been ridiculously thick and sloppy. Maybe he's improved.

He's definitely expanded his offerings since he's started.

There is a Deep Red on a Sea Dweller on his website - it was one he made for me and a photo I took.

Here's a more refined Caitlin he just did for me.

Too bad they're all going to have hairy pits/legs and stink like patchouli.

The strap looks to have been through an industrial dishwasher 100 times.

That's Gunny's secret "conditioner".
