Thanks for all the kind words about the strap and combo Phil, Chris, Nic, Trent and Mark.ThumbsUp02.gif

Chris, yes, it really sits high on the wrist and somehow I really like it that high because presentation of the stealth profile seems to improve lots. For those mulling a purchase of the DarthTuna, I can only advise you to get a replacement strap from the ho hum original rubber strap and PVD'd buckle and keeper. Of course, if you really dive and work in the water, keep the rubber on.

Mark, it's nighttime where I am now but I promise to give you a wrist shot tomorrow when the light will have a better effect on the gray leather.

Phil, thanks for really noting the vintage look. That was exactly my objective.

I'm getting another one from Peter of Gunnystraps but this time, I will ask for monster stitches and possibly another style of stitching. This strap is 135 x 85, longer than my usual strap because the keepers are fixed and I anticipated the stubborn leather wouldn't bend into the keeper. I was wrong. Leather is so supple.

Thanks again for looking and for the kind words.happy guy.gif
