My 359 was upset at the lack of ‘cool’ comments so I ask you to indulge me again with a few shots on the Swiss ammo. For reasons I can’t explain, this piece is, quite bizzarely, my favourite in my Pamily

Thank you, Nick. These photos are so much better
Thanks, T. Could use that new camera of yours to really show them in all their glory but these are not bad shots for a fruitPhone. Fact!

Your photos are great, even if they came from a fruit phone. True story

Hey Ruud!!
Glad you are back safe and sound! Oh... and I think you will be back on home soil just in time for the grand nuptials! Love your story telling, forget the 'wobbling', no worries ... That strap history is remarkable - wear with pride and feel the angels that rode on that brave warrior's shoulders! Blessings, DM (don't forget for the open subforum - you promised a few photos of your vacation.)

Killer straps! This thread made my day. I have a black “million dollar” croc strap with Kangaroo lining on order through John as we speak. It’ll be paired with my 1665 Great White once it makes it states-side. After seeing these beauties, I can hardly wait. Thanks for sharing!

His Royal Ruudness has been invited but I have a headache scheduled for that day. I’ve done enough royal weddings in my time and they drag on too much for my liking. Lady Van Driver’s not happy because she’d already bought a hat.
Sorry, Ed. Royalty and dignitaries only. Quote:

He's great to work with, Brian. I don't think you can go wrong with a Teju lizard in racing tan. You'll get a good idea of how it works looking at mine on my 689. I'll try and so a few more shots on the weekend with my 689 but better this time

Dangerous9’s Instagram just featured Ruud’s 689 and gave a shout out to TRF. Beautiful pics for sure.

I still have this crazy-ass urge to have another Teju in emergency orange and then slap it on my 737. But that would be nuts, wouldn’t it? Of course it would. Wouldn’t it?

I like that he puts his stamp on the underside of the strap in the lining skin

Beautiful watches on beautiful straps
Congratulations I have several straps made by John, and I was always very happy with the whole process and final results :-) |
