Custom straps are fun!

I've had a great deal of fun designing and wearing a number of custom straps on a few of my watches. These particular straps are made by John Glance of Dangerous 9 in Munich; the workmanship is old-school and truly amazing. Shown here are Daytona on matte croc, JLC on ostrich leg, Speedy on French crock and Fifty Fathoms on sharkskin. Pls let me know what you think :)

John (Dangerous9) is a true strap artist. A superb way to “treat” your watch.

Those are gorgeous.

I haven’t tried Dangerous 9, but I have used The Strap Tailor for ostrich straps.

They look fantastic!! I love all different kinds of straps but that ostrich leg is just crazy beautiful. I've got a new mission now. Thanks.

Range of 400-500 USD. A smokin' deal from my perspective, having purchased a bunch of OEM straps before I found John :)

Congratulations on your wonderful collection!
John's straps are really works of art, I completely agree.
Enjoy :-)
