Kangaroo strap feedback or concerns????

Post by **toxicavenger** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 4:16 pm

Hey guys I wanted to check and see what everybody thought about the Roo straps and if there was any issues at all. If there was you can post it here or contact me via pm and we will figure out a solution.

This thread is to put it out in the open so I don't have to hear it later on.

Love it Terry, mine is phenomenal. Thin and sturdy, please see if the guy can make some in 23mm if that's possible I'd buy a few

Terry, I think mine is absolutely fantastic. Thin, looks like it will hold up really well, and looks fantastic. Saving some pennies for a couple more.

Well there you go - if a professional strap maker and a true strap enthusiast approve it must be good.

Mike I just want to make sure I am not wasting my time doing this gig. You don't get a ton of feedback on this side unless it is "where is my order".

I hear ya - good strategy. As a consumer I am currently waiting on straps from Canada, Germany and the Philippines. I think I may have a strap problem.

No issues at all, I think it's quite good. I like the thinness of it, but it does indeed seem like it will hold up great. I usually don't like leather (and still not sure I can wear it regularly), but I'm trying this one out since it's so nice.

I am not a huge leather strap guy (now leather bonds are a different story) but the black roo version is super thin but it wears great. To top it off it seems tough as hell for being so thin.

Super cool honestly. I didn't think they would be this nice.

Hey. Where is my order?

I'm going to be ordering some regular NATOs when the 18mm and 22mm tan Roos are ready.

I got word from him last night that would not be an option, yet. Maybe in the future but not right now. He wants to get the 18-20-22mm going first. Then we can discuss about some other sizes.

I'm jonesin' fella. Need my Roo NATO fix brother.

Let me know if 23mm becomes an option.

You had to pick the ones I don't have

, those will be available in hopefully 8 weeks. So you might have to buy a crack pipe to fill the urge until then? Or get a "BLACK" roo strap

Post by **BSears** » Thu Apr 21, 2016 12:21 pm

Crack pipe. Check.

Black Roo.

Wondering how that would look on the blue and yellow Pogues.

Black 22mm arrives late evening just before I leave office. Quickly put it on my 6105 wannabe and very please with it.

Is very thin but stiff enough to secure the watch had on the wrist without being uncomfortable.

got the tan one in the mail today. just as great as the black one. I have darkened it up for my taste but it's amazing either way.

Post by **BSears** » Mon Apr 25, 2016 12:33 pm

I thought you had a tan one that you made. Did I miss that one going?

Panerai7 · Post by **Panerai7** » Mon Apr 25, 2016 2:00 pm

I made some from leathers but this is the one I just bought here from FS ad, this is Kangaroo

Watch out for Brad bro, he is jonesing for one right now.

This one is already castrated though so I doubt Brad would want it
