Icon6 You're my boy, Blue! You're my boy.

I've always wanted to visit Lake Tahoe.



Thanks to Micah, at least I can wear that gorgeous blue color on my wrist.

Details: Tahoe leather, black edge coat & black stitching (a flavor of the BLNR GMT), oval holes, two floating keepers.

So soft and smooth with an intoxicating leather smell. Love it. And last, but not least, thanks to a 48-hour sale on his strap forum, the strap was 20% off.

From what I understand, his stock of this unique leather is almost out.

Here are some pix. A little difficult to get the correct lighting at the office.













Thanks for looking.

thanks all!

day 2 with the strap, and i'm a huge fan. i've been at the strap game for a while now, and this one has a pretty rare combination of good looks and amazing feel on the wrist. the way it just hugs the wrist and feels so good....love it.
