New strap from Aaron Bespoke

His reputation is well-known, but first time ordering from him for me.

Placed a made-to-order Ostrich leg in navy suede strap for the 690.
The thread color is Patina via spanish embroidery.

Received it today. (3weeks)

I gotta say, I am super impressed.
It’s simply gorgeous.
A work of art.

The leather is top-notch and the patterns he cuts adds ton of character to the strap. The stitching is immaculate.
Even the backside of the strap is done with great style.

I am already looking for another, lol.

I would definitely recommend him for ur strap needs.

Very clean. Enjoy!

I had him make me one for my 338 a while back. Black gator with black stitching. Came out great as well.

Another pic.. can’t stop looking at it. Lol

Also realizing that with larger 47mm like the 690, the lighter color strap seems to work better when looking at it in person. Ymmv.

Awesome strap and combo!

Have the same strap for my 372! Gets quite a bit of attention when I wear it on this strap!

Unlike the “ready-to-ship” BS from tedsu, this is made-to-order.
And Aaron exceeded my expectations.

It’s like some of u just don’t get the difference
My disappointment was due to the fact I didn’t receive the actual specific strap I ordered from Ted…
But rather a poor substitute they sent without informing me that the one I bought was not available.

The color and the Spanish embroidery in Patina…
The strap, by itself, is crazy good.
On 690, it’s freakin unreal!
