Rcv the orange saffiano via postage ytd. Amazing quality and finishing. Mount it on the gruppo gamma for my wife to wear. Excellent fit and she said it was very comfortable to wear it.

Bonus: it came with additional spring bar. Thanks.

Marc, be prepared with an onslaught of orders from me.

Small comment, the hole for the spring bar is a little big, when put in tube, it is loose.

Anyway, the leather is soft and most important, very economical for a custom strap.

In theory yes. I will work on that.

It's always better to have abit more space in case someone just decided to use fat spring bars. Then if cannot fit in then they will come after me aye ?

yes but the thickest spring bars are 2.5mm which is about the size of the panarei tube. So if using that is loose then it's abit big. So far the straps i use will fit 2.5mm snugly.

It is available now just that I have yet to update my website. And there is no sample of the strap yet.
