Very nice. My JV is aging very nicely. It looks hot on my 351. By far, my favorite strap.

walds11 · 2 September 2011, 09:59 AM

I've only had it for a few weeks, but it is getting a nice patina and getting a little darker.

mboverst · 2 September 2011, 10:19 AM

I just picked up one on risti two weeks ago and I can't take it off, such a nice strap.

barstoolman · 2 September 2011, 10:23 AM

Great looking...............Assolutamente would look even better!!!!!!!!

TimeOnHand · 2 September 2011, 10:28 AM

That is a beautiful strap mate... congrats!

MDUB · 2 September 2011, 10:40 AM

Great strap, but would be even better is they made 24/24 (w/o special order) and it didn't cost so damm much.

B. Doggy · 2 September 2011, 10:54 AM

I just love the way those look but they're too small for me.

7sins · 2 September 2011, 11:09 AM

Did they have it in stock or had to order it? Were you able to get a discount?

Thank you in advance.

nauticajoe · 2 September 2011, 11:20 AM

hennabav · 2 September 2011, 12:09 PM

The JV strap looks awesome!! Initially I didn't understand why people like it so much but now I fully understand...

bcacncnc · 2 September 2011, 12:52 PM

Mines now about 3 weeks old and the patina is developing very nicely. If you want to speed up the process - you can VERY - and I mean VERY VERY - lightly put some oils - say jojoba oils onto your hands - then lightly and gently massage the strap with your fingers. Be warned thought - it really darkens fast so you need to do this with very little oil and slowly.

bgriz · 2 September 2011, 12:54 PM

Like my JV although I mostly prefer black straps.

brkanand · 2 September 2011, 01:03 PM

Has class! Enjoy!

Thanks guy's for all coments

They had it in stock, it's the only AD in Az, they have a ton of straps all the time.The top guy their is a Paneristi, so he loves this hobby & collecting
No discount, the strap was retarded expensive....

Cru Jones · 2 September 2011, 05:46 PM

i really like the patina look of the JV, and it was the sight of a 312 on a JV that got me interested in the dark side. just that when i finally went to the AD to pick one up, the BNIB color was so pale and different, i couldn't bring myself to buy it. maybe the one i saw was from a different batch, because yours has a golden hue even when new.

anyway, agreed, the prices are pretty nuts. just waiting for the non-OEM makers to start jacking up their prices, too, to follow PAM.

bcacncnc · 2 September 2011, 08:31 PM

Hey Cru. Dont worry. They all look pale. Mine too. After a few weeks mine has a patina on it that makes it look well worn.

texex91 · 2 September 2011, 10:09 PM

That's a great looking one--love the color!

They make standard & a long

mfer · 3 September 2011, 12:17 PM

Don't do anything to it like oil or creams. Just some wearing in rotation with your other straps. It'll develop a nice patina.

Congrats.

New....

Current patina perfection...

mfer · 3 September 2011, 12:18 PM

Oh and btw, Oliver Smith's is the bomb! Other watch dealers need to work like them. Class act all the way.

Mik,

That is so beautiful. I'm really digging the patina on that strap. What is the process of creating a JV strap anyways? You mentioned there is oils in the leather that causes the patina to show?

That's Hot,
The oils on your fingers do the patina & the air correct..

Oliver Smith is the only place I do business w/ my Pam, Michael is a class act, & a Paneresti...
