Nice one, Larry! I'm not convinced about the double braids, but then it also took me quite a while to appreciate any braided nylon/perlon straps. I've got about 10, and I'm still not sure about those!

Oh, you'll like it Karl. It's an easy gamble, they are so inexpensive. More substantial but still light weight and cool for summer.

This week my special order came in. I felt my 6538 needed a special home all on its own.

That's a nice strap. May I ask where you came up with that?

Thank you Larry.
That strap is made by a little custom shop in Paris called ABP. I have been to their shop in person before and since 2003 when I purchased my first strap, they have made some wonderful custom straps for me and have just about every exotic skin you can dream up.

If you decide to have a custom strap made up, I recommend telling them to taper the strap to fit a Rolex 16mm clasp to set the strap on fire! ���� Some straps on their site will fit the clasp, some won't but with a custom strap, the sky's the limit
