NEW MATERIALS ARE IN....

Just received some new hides including a boa skin with very nice pattern and an amazing cayman hide in a light tan color. While it looks indestructable it is incredibly soft and plyable.

Can't wait to make some straps (first will be one for my PAM 243).

"Just got my Donerix T Rex in the mail only 2 days after buying it.
Communication was amazing and the strap is nothing short of stunning. It comes in a nice jungle tan pouch with a pocket with the keeper in it.
For as thick as it is, it is amazingly supple and bends and twists like I have worn it for years.
Plus it has that amazing leather smell you can only get in a Boot store

I put it on my project Fiddy and took off the Carbon Fiber I had on it and this T Rex is never coming off, it was made for this watch!
I have visions of a BP 5004 and a Cartier Santos in this Iguana Skin. The Texture is the best part and pops out when any light hits it...kinda like the side of Edward James Olmos' face

My thanks to Eric for an amazing strap, price and service, it exceeded my expectations.
Regards to the community, I never would have found him had it not been for all of you.
Cheers,

Quick sidenote:
Wore the strap last night to the UFC fight and all evening in the bar lovely ladies were coming up and feeling the strap,asking what it was, etc.
Needless to say, this strap may have magical powers that I was unaware of ! hmmm perhaps a full jacket is next"
