Well...really love the Csar and it received some new shoes in the form a special delivery from Zach!!  Since this is not a forum sponsored strap maker...not sure if I can mention by name...but I think most of you 3T'ers know.

One of the things I really like about *** and his straps is the great attention to detail, the excellent hand stitched construction, and the very heavy black edge burnishing that is executed to give me that "Love It" strap look.*** is willing to go as deep into the strap design as you want to go (*** is not happy unless you're happy!!).  Oh...and since I was waivering on the loose keeper as to whether it should be stitched or unstitched...*** threw in one of each!!

This is my first custom strap, but definitely won't be my last....nothing like a new strap to breath a whole new persona into a nice timepiece!!!

Really like this one on the PVD Csar...it was just what I was looking for.  Thanks  for the sweet looking, sweet fitting strap!!!

And because all new arrivals need pics:

hmmm...what's in the box?



oh...new strap!

Excellent choice of material and color. I like the detailing. Is that a 5mm or 5.5mm thick strap? Looks really like it will last 200 yearssubtlelaugh.gif

Thank you all (Ken, Nordstrom, Skipdawg, Bigrusty, Omegaman, Romeo, Tombs, Stormin) for the kind words and compliments!! 

 thankyou.gif

It's amazing how a new strap (and especially a custom strap like this one built the way YOU want it) can really transform the look and feel of one of your favorites.

Bigrusty - this one is a solid 5mm thick...maybe just a hair over.

Thanks, Stew. Know what?.....I noticed that my 5.5mm thick straps actually are more comfortable than the thinner ones. After a few weeks the strap will really set in around the wrist better and the watch, specially big watches, will behave better on the wrist. I think you'll see/feel what I mean in due time.;)

Well maybe if the stupid forum script would not say post unread that would not happen. And I'm tired of looking to see if it's wrong. :cool:

Gentlemen (Paladin, Devin, Bigrusty, Teddy, and again Skipdawg)!

Thank you for the kind words...I like this one alot!!!thankyou.gif

Bigrusty - thanks for the additional detail regarding your thick 5mm + straps.  It's nice to know that these thick straps soften and really form nicely to the wrist with time.  They obviously have some stiffness to them right out of the gate...so I really need to give this one some more wrist time...I do understand in talking with Zack that this one will develop a very nice "patina" with time.

Thanks again all.
