Ever since I pre-ordered the Megalodon I had been planning on a shark skin strap for it.  I ended up ordering one from Stone Creek straps.  I sent Jeanna a sketch of what I had in mind and the dimensions for the lug cutouts.  I went with the shark teeth motif and put a "V" on the lug end and also went with a monogrammed keeper with a red shark teeth shape (I basically drew a slightly rounded triangle).  I specified grey stitching on the strap since the strap that came with the watch already has red stitching.  The strap is now done and I just got some pics from Jeanna.  I think it should look good with the watch.  Looking forward to trying it on the Megalodon.

Pics from Jeanna:

Sweet!  I took your cue and also commissioned a custom strap from Jeanna...but I went in a different direction.  I'll post pics as soon as I get them.

Ditto that..looks like we will be keeping him busy.

Are these shark skin straps a combination of leather/padding/with the shark skin on top? eg its not just one piece of shark skin, its layered with leather?

I'm pretty sure it's a combination of sharkskin and leather.

I look forward to seeing your Mega straps as well.ThumbsUp02.gif

I have received the shark skin strap and have installed it.  I wasn't quite sure how the design I specified would pan out, but now that I have it in person, I have to say I'm very pleased with it!  I think Jeanna did a great job.
