Just got this strap in two days ago, so I figure I'd give y'all my initial impressions. It's pretty comfortable from the get go and I'm enjoying the light color, although I can see people not liking how golden it is. From what I've seen, it ages well, so I look forward to giving everyone an update when it gets a little patina.

I like the color. Its a warm color and stands out from the typical sand brown.

Cru Jones · 29 October 2013, 02:49 AM

very nice! it's a decent strap for the money.

mine says hello.

Ray6Chan8 · 29 October 2013, 03:45 AM

Have to agree that this is good value for money! Works well in 26mm too. Enjoy your new strap.

That's a handsome strap. And to all three who posted pics so far - great shots! (especially love the dome in that last pic, the distortion on the "6" is killer!)

Here it is on 372

denkigroove · 1 November 2013, 06:01 AM

I agree its a great strap. Here's a side by side view of one that patina quite nicely next to a brand new one. Unfortunately I lost the one on right :(

Hairdude1 · 1 November 2013, 11:04 AM

Looks great

htc8p · 1 November 2013, 11:08 AM

i have that on my gmt2c but man it looks better on panerai

DCgator · 1 November 2013, 01:46 PM

That's a great strap. Congrats!!

Ted Su straps are great imho. Had a baby croc made for my DSSD that I put on for dressy occasions and I gotta say the combo looks fantastic and has attracted attention too.

CMT · 1 November 2013, 01:50 PM

Very nice echau and thanks for the extra pics guys! I'm trying to decide if this is a potential alternative to the more costly OEM JV as it has a somewhat similar look to it.

They are pretty different straps and over time, the JV will look completely different. If you want a JV, go for that one, IMO.

htc8p · 1 November 2013, 07:34 PM

jv is much more durable and firm

arizonaboy · 4 November 2013, 05:44 AM

Love the strap...and the color! Would love to get one for my Radiomir with the appropriate taper.

Thatguy · 4 November 2013, 06:08 AM

Thanks for the heads-up, Cru. Will do. I do want the JV and have for a while.

btw, if you want to see what a patina'd JV looks like, click here. to me, it's gorgeous, but, if you want a lighter/more yellow color that does not patina, consider the ted su.

CMT · 5 November 2013, 01:15 AM

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff. That patina is exactly why I've lusted after the JV for so long. The Su is gorgeous, and the pics do make it look like it darkens a bit over time, but at this point the JV is a too-long itch.

Thanks again, I'm sold. Now I just need to find one.

Great combo

echau · 13 November 2013, 09:40 AM

Last night I decided to use some of that Dr. J's leather cream I got from Micah when I ordered my Mauser strap. Rub, let dry over night, and buff. The strap definitely got a bit darker. I like it! What do y'all think?

The darkened effect definitely makes it look warmer and broken in. Very nice!

SixPak · 16 November 2013, 02:42 PM

The cream does make it a little darker or more "aged" look. I like it.
