Dangerous9 Straps.

Dangerous9 Straps
I am planning on ordering two custom bands from Dangerous9, both for IWC watches (Yacth Club and Pilot). I was wondering if anyone has purchased from there and what your experience was (quality and fulfilling order on time as promised). Thanks.

I do not have any experience with them. I do however highly recommend vintager straps made by Micah Dirksen

I have nothing but praise for Dangerous9. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing and the service is there to match. I'll be in touch with John for a new strap for my 737 as soon as I decide what I want next.

I highly recommend Dangerous9; my only word of caution is that you should go elsewhere if you're impatient. A strap from D9 will take about three to four months but the results will be worth every minute you have to wait. John will advise you of the time it takes once you start working with him. He's quite a busy man too so it might take a day or two for him to respond to your email.

His straps are worth the wait.

100 percent they do a great job and makes masterpieces. It does take some time as he has quite a following but you will be so rewarded with the strap you will recieve

I recently ordered a strap from Micah... will post some photos when it arrives... I've gone for a lovely bright blue leather with yellow stitching for a summer look... hope it turns out O.K.

cheers
