Same here. Almost picked up a blue Hirsch Louisiana but it turned out too thin for a dive watch.

19mm yes. Dressier, depend on whats your definition. I'm not a machine so yea, there might human error here and there and not as perfectly made like those mass manufactured.

Just looking for a 19mm strap that tapers to 18mm at the buckle and that takes standard diameter spring bars. With non contrast stitching..
Most of the stuff I find sold in shops here in 19mm are crap.

Hi Marc,

I have the same requirements too (19mm which tapers to 18mm deployment clasp) - a dressy black or dark blue is fine. Please let me know if you can do this? Happy to support your straps!

I will be able to do a 19mm to 18mm strap but with my buckles. Only have Pearl white and light brown threads at the moment. So i don't know if that's cool with you guys.

Same price.

The distressing option is an add on service that I artificialy make the strap seem used, vintage, rugged.

It's not an option. It's an add on service if that's what you asking about.

Your distressed leather look cool. Wonder do you have black one?
If so, I need one in 20mm with dark blue stitches.

The black I currently have when distressed will seem matt and greyish.

Only have light brown and Pearl white stitching. Planning to increase the leather choices, not so much emphasis on the threads. Thanks.
